You don't need a fancy DSLR to get a rare shot in difficult conditions.

I've told you my wife is in the foothills of the Himalayas trying to
catch up with a Snow Leopard.

She has just emailed back the following iPad images from the site:

First, a well camouflaged pussy
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...SizeRender.jpg

Second, a blurry pussy, but I hope to be able to fix that.

I thought these things were hard to catch up with but she seems to
have got somewhat close.

Yeah, so the subject is technically true, of course. But I think we can all
agree that those photos are crap, and won't end up framed on any mantelpiece
anytime soon. Had she had a good SLR with a goo glass, they would have been
quite good photos, in focus and correct color saturation.

Of course, without the iPad, she would have had nothing I presume, so it's
technically true and might serve as just a shot for personal memorabilia, sort
of.

And maybe not. Perhaps she might not have been able to carry the setup
you suggest, unless she had a personal Sherpa.

BTW I never heard of "goo glass."

Not everyone is as weak as you seem to be, Peter.

it's not a question of strength.

A small DSLR or a micro 4/3 camera is not that heavy.

I believe that Eric has/had at least one adequate compact camera which would
also have served well on his wife’s trip (he used it in Denmark). It would
have been easier to handle than the iPad for that type of shot. However,
since it was her trip, she had to make the decisions regarding what to pack,
or not pack. I suspect that photography was not the primary purpose of her
trip, and the snow leopard was a fortuitous subject.

Not suggesting that you are, or should be, writing for American
readers, but if you deign to consider your American friends you ought
to consider using the word "pussycat" rather than "pussy."

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

And I would think far less awkward to hold, carry and use than an
ipad.
