I use this for taking scenic pictures. It works really well and I would recommend.

The Bushnell ImageView 15-45x 70mm Spotting Scope features multicoated optics and a respectable 70 mm objective lens - on the back end of things there's both a 15-45x normal eyepiece and an integrated 5.1-megapixel camera that provides 22 x magnifications.
Perhaps best of all, viewing is never lost through either the normal eyepiece or the camera; you can view through the eyepiece and fine-tune the focus at 45x magnification while a group of observers watch on the 2.5" flip-up LCD screen. The digital camera's 22x power is equivalent to a 951 mm lens - this level of magnification creates impressive imagery of skittish wildlife. A tabletop tripod and remote release for the camera are both included. Take advantage of each, or use a full-size tripod with pan/tilt video head to get the best results.
