Any photographer hunters in here? Looking for camera+lens recommendations in place of spotting scope
As the title suggests I'm looking for recommendations on a digital camera that could take the place of a spotting scope in terms of weight and capabilities. I have a Swarovski 65x spotting scope that is heavier than sin and I'd like to leave it behind on my next couple of hunts, and in its place bring a digital camera that can take both photos and videos, with a lens that can see just as far with hopefully a clearer picture.
I hunt in Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado, and the Dakotas so the more weatherproof and shockproof this camera is the better.
Weight is a huge focal point for me, as my next goat hunt I would like to keep my backpack to 60 lb or less, for an 8-day hunt.
