hello guys, i am a new baby to bird watching and looking for a spotting scope, and now i have narrow down my choice to three items,
Celestron Ultima 65 Spotting Scope
http://www.opticsplanet.net/celestron-ultima-65-spotting-scope.html#
Bushnell 18-36x50 Zoom Sentry Spotting Scope
http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-18-36x50-sentry.html
Bushnell 20-50x50 Trophy Waterproof Spotting Scope
http://www.opticsplanet.net/bush-ss-trophy-wp-787325.html
please feel free to comment on them, any opinion will be great!

and i wanna know as both Celestron Ultima 65 Spotting Scope & Bushnell 18-36x50 Zoom Sentry Spotting Scope has an angled body, can them be "rotated" sideway when mounted on tripod?(like those of Swarovski)

HI

You can't swivel the body on any of these, as per the Swarovski. Of the three, the Ultima with its larger objective, gets the nod for performance.
