I brought it to the Grand Canyon and really needed to hold it still to get clear pictures. It's difficult to do because the lense is so much heavier than the camera. You should practice working the camera while holding the lense before you try to take that special shot. Also, the lense doesn't focus anymore - it's not built to last. I think I paid $20 and got some interesting photos. When everything is working properly, it takes a great close-up!

I believe you have to zoom in every time. Kind of annoying when tying to get the shot of that bird that will be flying by

I have this tripod but do not use it for bird watching. Take a look at the Canon image stabilized binoculars. Mine is the 8 x 32 and steady as a rock bird watching which means I can follow the birds when they move around. IS makes a big difference in binoculars just as it does in camera lens. The 8 x 32 is a good balance between price and weight for carrying around all day. If you have never looked through a pair of Canon IS binoculars you will be shocked how great they are. Besides my cameras I use this tripod on my Canon 20 x 80 spotting scope. Nice for objects 100yds to half a mile away or Saturn's rings, LOL I have this tripod but do not use it for bird watching.

No, I don't believe it would. It does detect birds in nearby trees, but not in farther trees blocked only by leaves. It would probably detect a mouse within about 20 ft., but not farther than that.....larger mammals it will detect farther than that.

Yes it will work. I sent it back because it wasn't useful to what I was doing. If you are taking pics of birds or wildlife/scenery it's great.

I have used the G@ for photographing birds. If the birds are moving, you will need a better camera than this. The really issue is the capability of the lens, and the lenses available for this camera cannot compete with the type of high end lenses that's required to capture bird's in motion. With this camera, you might be lucky, but a good photo will often be a matter of luck and skill with this camera.

I highly recommend this monocular, I think it would be a great tool for a safari trip but I don't think it would replace the safari grade binoculars because of their field of view.

The eyepiece is very easy to adjust from 20X to 60X and points in between. The focus adjustment is very easy to move as well. I think this spotter would be perfect for wildlife viewing as I use it for that too...

I have had good results at closer range (100-250 yards) using my iphone5 to capture big game animals. I'm not a photographer, but at that range with a non-sky background I didn't have any issues. With a skyline shot in hotter temperatures you may have some degradation of your images. Best bang for your buck spotting scope.

Yes, I bought this specifically for that purpose. The birdwatching mode has given me many more "keepers" than my p500. It seems to focus easily on the bird, ignoring fairground twigs and background objects. Great feather detail. Best of all: AMAZING reach. I love it!

I own a Montana but i did a little research and it does look like like that gps supports the Birdseye satellite imagery.

Yes, even for birdwatchers. Go to GOOGLE canon G 15 tutorials. You will find a LOT of answers there.

I think it will be great for that! It is very compact but the brightest flashlight I have ever owned. It has a focused beam which would be excellent for spotting birds.

It should work great! I use mine for birding and it does an excellent job. Very good optics. I purchased a harness to attach it to. I don't care for neckstraps.

I have used this binoculars to stargazing...but's it's really not like a telescope. I use it mainly to watch birds.

Absolutely, I went to Alaska and was able to see Bald Eagle's on the tops of poles and see grizzly bears in the wild. Love the binoculars.

Definitely. I have the same camera/ lens combo. It's the best lens you can get for that camera for taking pictures of birds.
