My family want me to buy a camcorder for our family hols. I would want the new toy to earn its keep in my hobby. I am sure there have been lots of similar threads but not many survive after the crash.
My questions are:
1. Which camcorders have lens filter threads to mate with digiscoping adaptors? Do camcorders tend to need different attachment methods? I have a Kowa 823M scope and adapter, 21X and 32X eyepieces and 28mm and 52mm Kowa camera adapters. Are any models better in terms of vignetting than others?
2. Which cameras have good still image capabilities? What megapixel still images can I expect?
3. What are camcorders like for birding when used as standalone without a scope. What optical zoom should I go for?
I have a budget of £500 - £1000 and would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards
Ken
