Every time we go away we pack binoculars and every time we go away we never use them. It seems to be one of those items that seems like a good idea but it doesn't really fit in with our photography.

Do you have permission to show them? If not, links would be better, unless it's part of a review, which can be acceptable if proportionate.

SRS do binoculars and spotting scopes:

It strikes me that a spotting scope with a DSLR attached, or even a Q, could be an interesting and useful exercise. The adapters are available.

I think it might have more to do with the rate at which information can be streamed from the sensor, the power consumption and hence heat generation and the noise behaviour. All this became more significant as pixel counts increased.

I also understand CMOS sensors were lower cost to produce, perhaps relating to different failure rates in a batch?

My goodness me, that's a bit of the cynic coming out isn't it? Which DSLR are you currently using?

SMC Pentax-DA 55-300m has QuickShift, SMC Pentax-DA L doesn't.

Not with mine it didn't, which one was that Algi?

Time is ticking by and our judge hasn't logged on yet, so I'm sending a reminder now.

If no response by later tomorrow, I'll set a new competition.
