I was looking for a spotting scope to do some digiscoping with my DSLR for birding and other wildlife. I actually tried a Celestron Regal 100 ED which is at the other end of the price spectrum but the bulk of this prohibited usage although the optics were superb. I had pretty low expectation when I tried the 65 since it has a ver small aperture and it isn't the ED glass version. However, much to my surprise the images on the DSLR were absolutely brilliant and I am hard pushed to tell much difference between this and the Regal.
DSLRs on this scope are used by digiscoping (rather than prime focus), that is you shoot through the scope lens by attaching the camera body via a T-Thread on the scope. The only thing that I would say is that at the lowest magnification, there is a bit of vignetting and at the highest magnification, the image loses a bit of its sharpness. In the mid-ranges though it is absolutely superb.
The quality of construction is also very very good. Because this is the smaller model it is also very portable and fits on my Vista Voyager tripod with the DSLR attached with no troubles at all.
For the money, you won't get a better quality scope and a god send for digiscopers.

I have used the Ultima 65 as a shooting line spotting scope for archery, and absolutely love it.
- The clarity / brightness are superior to just about everything else on the shooting line.
- The zoom allows almost the entire boss to be viewed at 30m. (i.e. All of the 80cm target, and then some) No problems at 90m either.
- The 45 degree eyepiece means I don't have to move my feet between shots.
- The nitrogen fill means it doesn't cloud up when others do.
Two minor niggles:
- The hole in the baseplate which accepts the locator pin from a tripod's base shoe is a little fiddly. I had problems with cheaper shoes / tripods, but the pin on my new Manfroto clicks positively and does the job it's supposed to.
- The lens cap doesn't stay on all that securely, but I generally use the case for it, so it can't really go anywhere.
