Thread: Handycam as spotting scope?

Kscott -- good point about field of view. The eye's visual acuity is much higher than camera sensors too of course, which counts for plenty.

Note the 70x I quoted is optical, not digital.

Is your camera image-stabilised? That seems like a useful feature that spotting scopes lack. Farting around with *pods isn't much fun when you have nothing natural to lean on.
