SLR camera versus digiscoping
There was a time when SLR cameras ruled the roost for serious wildlife photography and an SLR with appropriate telephoto lens is still the first choice of professionals and serious amateurs who need to make and print enlargements or submit photos to magazines. However, over the years, I have gone to digiscoping with a spotting scope and small digital point and shoot for wildlife photography. I get access to much more magnification -
much more than I could ever get with an SLR. Pic quality, especially with a high grade spotting scope, is anything but shabby - certainly more than adequate for viewing on a monitor. When I need something to print, frame and hang on the wall, it's back to the SLR, but, in the meantime, I am having a blast with my digiscoping.
