We went on an Alaska cruise. I chose to keep minimize gear. My primary camera for the trip was my RX100VII. Along with a couple cameras, one of the things I left behind was my (amazing) Canon 18x stabilized binoculars.
I discovered that the popup viewfinder, electronic zoom or Clear Image zoom and the camera stabilization transformed the camera into an acceptable high powered monocular. I could see stuff I would not otherwise have seen!
The Sony HX99 does the same thing at a fraction of the cost. Glad it all worked out for you. And, what did you see that you would otherwise not have seen with your naked eye.
