Thoughts from people that have tried both?

I just bought one a month ago.

If you get the light right yes they are good enough to around a Km I reckon.

The screen lacks resolution as pointed out to me by @stug.

Maybe better if you carry a tablet or something to view pics.
I haven't had mine long enough to know if I can link my phone thru wifi or the like which would be good.

I was thinking that would be the limiting factor and hope to link to my phone which would be way better...

Are you going to sell your spotter and just use camera?

No. In my case I don't think the camera will replace the spotter but if I am walking in somewhere the camera is easier to pack and lighter and will do me.
Camera has wifi but not sure in what capacity. I have not dug into that yet.
I always have my phone as it has other stuff I might need like GPS and ballistic app.

To be fair I haven't used it a whole lot yet and I am not a photographer's asshole anyway.
I think a remote will be a must as when your zoomed in on an animal you will be able to shoot when it provides the best view. Not wait 10 secs and the thing walks off while the timer is going
