Digital Spotting scope

Kowa Prominar TD-1, 3mp, 1350 mm zoomPhil over at DPReview doesn't really like this - I think he's missed the point
Phil: I hate to say it but I can't really see this being a useful product, maximum ISO 200, no image stabilizer and 1350 mm equiv. is just a recipe for a blurred image.
This is not a camera. It's a spotting scope, that can also record what you see through it. Perhaps (although the review doesn't say) it can also display to an external
screen, making it useful for shooting competitions and the like - which is really where this sort of thing is intended. Hell, I'm just getting started in this shooting game, if I could record where each of my shots ended up (digitally), or even view it conveniently, that alone would be a huge help.
