I understand that "birders" may already have the scope so that the inital outlay will be a lot cheaper but for somebody starting off bird photography it is a hard decission to make.Only 3 years ago when I started digiscoping the decission was easy as the DSLR way was very expensive but now with DSLR costs dropping and scopes remaining at there high level, most potential digiscopers are turning to traditional DSLR's.I should have mentioned that DSLR setup (Canon 5DM2 & 400mm lens) also shots "true" HD quality video for no extra charge.BobThis was also taken beside Neil the other day<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3618919297_0baa5c2c98_o.jpg" target="_blank">http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3618919297_0baa5c2c98_o.jpg</a></blockquote>
