I was in a hide the other day and there was a birder in there using a camcorder to record the birds on the scrape.I got talking to him and bearing in mind I know nothing about cam/video recorders he told me some interesting things about his camcorder :-
* It had a 30X optical zoom
* It had a hard disc to record on with a large capacity
* You downloaded direct to your computer
* You could print off single photos
Having tried to take all this on board I thought this may be a better way to take bird photos than digiscoping with the trouble of buying scopes,cameras,connectors etc. and possibly a cheaper way of doing it.Also the 30X optical zoom is as good as most scopes.
Am I right in this thinking ? Are the results as good?
Max.
