    Exactly. I use a spotting scope for detail.
    You know no matter what animal you are looking at with binos whether it needs more attention.

    Thar and Fallow take me just a little bit longer to assess as minute things can make the difference between average and a trophy.

    Have always been interested in a camera instead of a scope purely for the weight issue.
    Have had a go with an SX60 and it was pretty good but didn't look at anything much further than 6-700m.

    Havent seen it used on Thar yet.

    I am heading to overseas guiding in July and can't decide if a camera like the SX60 would do the job better than a scope.
    I have to take all my own gear and weight will be an issue. I don't own a decent camera but would buy one duty free or on arrival.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    If I get to pew pew it will be even better but I doubt it for this season.

    Next year I should have a better chance as long as I don't stuff up.
