If you already have a spotting scope and a smart phone, why not use them? The
image quality is remarkable, you never leave the house without the phone, and
avid birders are more likely to want to tote a scope in the field than a camera
with telephoto lens.
The phone has auto focus, auto exposure, etc., and if you see something really
amazing you can immediately send those images to all the various TexBirds FB
pages. Plus, an iPhone takes amazing slo-mo videos that allow for better
scrutinizing of field marks, etc.
Personally, I am a DSLR guy, so mine is always with me, but the iPhone is, too,
and sometimes I find myself grabbing the phone first for taking bird images
through the scope.
