The 14x Spotting Scope digital camera definitely helps bird watchers (of the human and feathered variety) catch a better glimpse of their subject without having the need to mount a zoom lens on a digital camera. While the zoom level can go up to 14x, you shouldn’t expect too much from it in terms of resolution as it can capture only 3.1 megapixel stills. While the 32MB internal memory is certainly laughable, at least you have an SD memory card slot to capture and store tons of pictures. To get a better idea on what a 14x zoom can do, it allows you to focus on an object measuring roughly 1.5 meters tall at a distance of almost a quarter mile away. The Spotting Scope digital camera retails for $499.95.
