Very good optics, true zoom, older camera

Essentially I can associate myself with the detailed and precise review of Harry So close to a point: the zoom. Unlike virtually all other spotting scopes ZEISS here has a real zoom used while otherwise only an excerpt is used from the existing. This means that the entire optical system is adjusted to the higher focal length, and not just the view of the center is directed. Perhaps this is also the reason why it for the camera's amazing bright despite the necessary division of a portion of the light, and the. Especially in the known low light and challenging situations such as at dusk Moreover, this construction brings a an immensely wide field of view, wider than all its competitors - 40% increase in this case are already a small revolution!

So: a genuine ZEISS highlight how it is used by other top products from ZEISS.

The only Wermuths Drops is the camera, which of course can not keep up with latest models. But that's no wonder, because the PhotoScope was conceived in 2006 and reflects the state of the art at that time. Nevertheless, the 7 Megapixels are still quite a reasonable value, and also the fine autofocus can be proud of, works very effectively. If you have once familiarized with the many other settings, and reduced especially in my opinion, grossly exaggerated noise reduction on the setting minimum (that you can possibly do much better on the PC later), then you can certainly good pictures with it make - also very nice ... :) For proof recordings eg in bird photography, it's enough anyway always.

An addendum: Do not forget also that the fold-out display is at its best: An OLED display is the brightest of what is technologically possible, and it shows. It allows one including eg a considerably more comfortable continuous monitoring of a place, because you do not always have to do with the eye at the eyepiece.
