Nikon P1100 vs phone scope

[lang]

How does the crazy 125x zoom compare to phone scoping with a similar budget spotter ($1000)? Anyone actually done a side by side comparison?

Nikon is just shipping the cameras now so doubtful anyone has been able to use it in the field. The Sensor in the Nikon is FAR superior and larger then a phone. The processor and the lens on the Nikon compared to a phone is worlds different. The weakest link in digiscoping is the phone. The lens quality/sensor size is garbage if you want to blow your picture up bigger then 8x10 or do any cropping. That said, the P1000 did a very nice job and with the improvements the P1100 will be amazing
