I'm interested in getting into digiscoping and perhaps using my existing cameras, which include a Nikon D-200 and a Nikon D-300. I notice that many people use the smaller "pocket" digitals rather than the DSLRs.
Apart from cost and weight, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a DSLR or a smaller digital camera that does not have through-the-lens focus?
Also, as a newbie, if I plan to use a tripod, should I shy away from the bigger magnification lenses out of concern that the bigger the magnification, the harder the focus?
Thanks for any advice or comments you give me.
