    Handycam as spotting scope?

    I have a spotting scope but it's bulky and does one thing only.

    Has anyone tried one of the various compact handycams? Optical zoom up to 70x...! And you can take pictures and video. Some have frills like active IR nightvision.

    I'm thinking about picking up a cheap used one ($50-$100 on TM for a Sony or Panasonic 40x) but interested to hear about anyone else's experience using a camera in place of a spotting scope, either at the range or hunting.

    Cheers
    Thanks to the Playstation we have the outdoors to ourselves!
