Would this camera be good for airplane spotting?

I would agree that for that kind of photography a DSLR would be best but this is still very good. The zoom is great (400mm equivalent) but still longer lenses can be had with a DSLR. One more thing that you should take into consideration is that the shutter lag on this camera is very long (maybe a half a second or more), This could be problematic for shooting moving subjects. But for the money this is an all round great camera.

It works well for several things but aircraft photography may require a camera with multiple lenses.

The zoom is awesome on this camera it looks great once it focuses,however when something is moving and you're zoomed all the way in it is hard to get a good focused picture.

Hello, greetings from Colombia. I haven't tried these camera on this situations. However, I have used it in almost all others such as portraits, landscapes, macro etc. I am also making some high quality videos of my model airplane kit manufacture to be uploaded to YouTube. All results have been far better than expected. So, I presume that if you use your camera on the situations you need, it won't let you down. I still think that the D3200 is a professional featured camera costing thousands of dollars less than, for instance, the D4 or the D800. I suggest you join the forum Nikonites.com It has been a great help for me and people there are very nice indeed Good luck!!! Hello, greetings from Colombia.

Personal opinion only, I think you'd find this camera would perform fairly well. It seems to do fairly well in low light situations and of course with the super zoom, you can zoom in on the target from considerable distance. Given the relative low price of this camera (compared to others with this zoom capability), your investment would be fairly low and you could always come back and sell one as "used" right here on Amazon.

It depends on the distance. This device is nice but will only give you clear image in the range of up to 50 yards. Beyond that things will not be clear and recognizable.

Since this has a 10 power magnification, with a fairly good field of view, I think they'd work well for bird-watching. You might consider something with an adjustable focus and magnification but this is commoner on single lens spotting scopes or camera lens applications than in binoculars. For a fixed power device, this is a good option. Paul M.

Id say yes. I've used it to spot turkey at 500 plus yards with no problem. Even got a close up on an Eagle flying at cloud level. Hope this helps, and enjoy.

Yes, but remember that this camera has a slightly narrow field of view. You're not going to get a wide angle view of the surroundings. Also, be advised that viewing this image requires that a special plug-in be loaded into your browser. You can't just go up to any PC and view the image.

If you can follow action with an LCD (no eye level finder) the camera is capable of making an image. It would not be my first choice for action shots.

I'm sure it would carry it. I fly mine with a mobius action cam. The plane has great lift and stability. Without the camera I get 18 min of flight time because of the low RPM that it will fly with. It has plenty of power on demand.

Yes, it does as long as there is some sort of light source it will show up but remember it is not a night vision camera or even infared but it will record well. I am happy and use it for a full 24 hrs to see what animals come out at night, I even captured what I beleive might have been a "UFO" miles away on a moonless night with no airport within 50 miles.

This camera has a 120 ac volt converter for the power. Unless your airplane has a long extension cord, this camera will not work.With a good camera like the gopro, you can record on your ipad.

I dont see why it will not hold up to the flight. I guess you are not going higher that 5000 meters.The cam actually aims to the side!Good luck!

Yes, absolutely. It is capable of many angles. The camera looks great and would be hard to recognize as fake.

If your camera supports it, yes. Be aware though that at f1.4, the focal plane is rather tiny and even with peaking, perfect focus can be difficult.

Depends on what you're viewing... it would be OK for the Moon, possibly Saturn, Jupiter and Mars... but after that, I'm not sure. There are better cameras out there for the purpose you're interested in.

No. Airplanes never come from the factory equipped with one. You can easily install one if you like. Best for a high intermediate/or advanced flier, as a crash and a camera do not combine happily.

It would be perfect for real estate in low light. The large sensor takes great pictures in low light.
