Ok this is something that a lot or birders are doing that I have just heard about in a photography magazine, using a spotting scope with a point and shoot or a DSLR or SLR with an adapter ( I now feel like a kid thats just found an old trick )
I do like to take nature photo's from a distance but buget has limited me to a Canon 70-300mm IS, in quite a few occasions 300mm isn't enough particularly to get the heron at my local pond bigger in the frame than a 6th, I know I can get high end telephotos but the price scares my wallet into retreat, also I won't use it enough to warrent the cost.
So the question is if anyone has tryed this or is still using the technique of a spotting scope with a camera could you please suggest a good scope with LD glass, or even if there is a scope that could mount cir polarizer and UV filters, bearing in mind I still have to get the G10 which I have been looking at for a while as a smaller take anywhere camera for £300+ so the scope would have to be around £400-500
Thanks Garth for the link, I was thinking more size to the images though and RAW capability to up the image size to 25mp though, that said it's suprising what quality phone cameras can produce now
Thanks a lot for the link, I'm having a quick read now and it's already answering a lot of questions, with it also being a topic specific site I'm pretty sure it will get the ball rolling.
