As yet I have only a Sony RX100 pocket camera.
I am interested in both wildlife (including bird) photography & landscape photography, and I am in the process of deciding what "serious" camera to buy.
Until a few days ago I had not even heard of a digiscope, and I had been looking at purchasing a dslr with a lens suitable for shooting birds etc, only to be horrified by the cost of the lenses. There are suitable lenses costing from around £300 to £1000 - I'm ok with that - but the longer lenses seem to start around £4500, which I consider a bit too high.
I can see that good quality digiscope set up will not be chaep, but it looks managable.
Now the questions;
What sort of quality pictures can I expect from a Nikon dslr (D7000?) and a Nikon scope?
Is there a better alternative to the Nikon scope (I want a Nikon dslr for landscapes so I will likely use that whatever)?
Any general advice for a newbie?
Thanks
Mike
