Question

What camera would be good to use for taking pictures from about 500 yards away?

Answer 1

What are you taking pictures of?  People and mountains will need different lenses.

Answer 2

lol interesting spy work going on, I would say Canon cameras they are build for distant and moving objects.

You will also need to get a Add on lens (or just ask for it when you buy it)

Oh and also get a further lens so instead of 500 get 600

Answer 3

What on earth are you taking pictures of at that kind of distance?

Answer 4

Wouldnt be a camera but I would say the scope of a .50 cal sniper rifle like the AS-50, makes one h**l of a "click"

Answer 5

An older sony video camera with 560x zoom will be as strong as high power binoculars, the digital8 ones provide the higher resolution.  DCR TRV130, 140 for digital8 and analog CCD TRV608, 98 have 560x zoom.
