They aren't that good. I have a fairly decent (for a cell phone) cam, and it takes horrible pictures in poor lighting. There isn't any image stabilization, either. Close range in good light, I can get great shots, but at a distance, with questionable lighting and movement? No way. Even the cheaper digital cams can't always handle movement that well. I want a great picture, too, something that is clear and sharp and well-light, and has points of reference for size, but most people, even now, don't carry the equipment around for that. Even owning it isn't a guarantee that it's with you at the needed time. For example, I have a video camera with a lovely "nightshot" feature, that allows some great footage in the near-dark, but I never seem to take it with me when I would have loved later on to have done so. Recently, I missed footage of a fox we spotted on post, and several deer, and a raccoon (all in one night), and before I missed a huge owl, close and hooting at me. All known animals, though sighting the fox is a rare sight. Yet not one moment on film. It's frustrating, and I am sure the people sighting these things wish they had the right equipment at the right time, but most don't. With some sightings, hauling it in would be a good plan, but not sure about others. |
