Spotting Scopes

Hello all,

 

I was hoping that someone may be able to provide some advice on the following questions about spotting scopes – I was looking into buying one for the purposes of bush-birding and seawatching:

 

  1. What magnification on a spotting scope would be good? Is a spotting scope that starts at 10x magnification and can zoom to 30x magnification better than a spotting scope that starts at 20x magnification and zooms to 60x magnification?
  2. Is scope worth the money?
  3. Any other general tips or recommendations for spotting scopes?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Thanks again,

Drew Davison
