Hi Jim

Some of the new digital spotting scopes on the market such as the Bushnell
Digital Imaging Scope, http://store.yahoo.com/opticsplanet/782101.html, can feed images directly to your camcorder. This would probably be the most hassle free way to get high mag images in a cam, but at the moment some of these scopes are in short supply. Check availability before ordering.

To attach a camcorder to a spotting scope you will need the correct C mount. Try Scopetronics for a match to your camcorder. As for a spotting scope, any of the ED versions of the Nikon, Pentax, Leica,Swarovski will take top notch pics.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
