Chrissyo, I do not believe prime focus is possible using a fixed lens camera or video camera. An EP is required to project the image onto the camera lens. I to am wondering why this is not possible but so far have not seen a good explanation of it. I want to do it with my Canon A610, but as it has a fixed lens, I am told its not possible.
Why not? I hope the experts can answer this one.

Prime focus is possible with SLR's where you can remove the lens and directly mount the camera without lens (using the adapters you have found) to the telescope.

Regards
