With all the photo nuts here, I was surprised not to see a thread for this. I suppose all those fine Samsung 100x pics are in those threads. Frankly, a camera with a long zoom and a tripod was the minimum required to capture much. My setup is an old-ish ultra zoom (Nikon P100, 26x zoom) on a tripod, with a timer to try to eliminate the shake from pressing the button. Playing with the settings I managed a couple of decent shots. I cropped and screen grabbed the best one. I questioned the view of Saturn until I saw one taken with a telescope of the same view that confirmed it was right, just obscured by either slightly off focus or exposure (the shot that actually shows the rings, it is NOT mine, but the angle is almost the same).

Reference for rings. Not my shot.
