I recommend putting a good (100$ish) digital camera in ur bob. Many reasons why, here are a few.

You can use it to peak around corners instead of putting ur head out.
You can take pics, go hide and check out the pics you just took to get info on an area.
Take pics to show others what you have seen.
Take pics for reasons related with the law. For when the law returns....

These are just a few reasons.

Get a camera with some zoomability and use it like a scope or binocs. Your less likely to get shot holding a camera to look out far than you are useing ur scope. Dont forget the little info digi card thinger that stores the pictures on it. Get a 2g or larger. Can put 1000 pics on 1.

I Currently own a canon 30d with a 75mm lense and a 200 mm lense. Hoping for a 500mm lense in the future. I also have a quicky snap and shoot dslr from wal mart. I also have a digividoe cam thing too. Also handy for gathering info.
