Q
John, guest, from CA, United States, asked on August 07, 2021

How does this spotting scope compare to a Nikon P 1000 camera in low light

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on July 11, 2022

Cameras and spotting scopes are remarkably different optical systems, and would have a considerably different user experience when used in low-light scenarios. As a digital camera could and would enhance colors and lighting on-screen, and use delayed or extended exposures to allow for enhanced low-light imagery, this would be a difficult comparison. For more information on this, reach out to Vortex Optics Technical Support at 1.800.4Vortex.

Q
DavidUpton, guest, from AZ, United States, asked on March 01, 2020

What’s the furthest distance this can see?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 05, 2020

That question has no real answer. Technically if you were on a flat plain of land that was 100 miles long you could see the entire 100 miles. How far you can clearly see something is going to depend on the terrain, the target, the weather conditions, your eyesight and a number of other factors depending on what your application is. You could be trying to see bullet holes at 300 yards or you could be trying to see cruise ships sailing by at sea 10 miles away. What I can say is for the money this is a very good spotting scope manufactured by an extremely reputable company that is capable of allowing you to see details out to hundreds of yards depending on the size of the target.
