A remote camera.Noob Rebel EOS T5 owner wants telephoto resolution at the level of identifying what a person is doing from 5-20 miles away. What ~$200 lens do you recommend?
And the elephant in the room asks ,,,, why does some want to photograph at that distance
curvature of the earth prevents you from seeing more than about 8 Miles, right
Actually, it depends on terrain and obstructions.Unless you are in a tower or other high place the curvature of the earth prevents you from seeing more than about 8 Miles, right?

Well, at least in that video of the Canon 5200mm lens, you can see the person waving at you.Canon makes a 5200mm lens that would provide a field width of about 500 feet at 20 miles so I'm still not sure you would be able to tell what people are doing. It focuses at 18-32 miles and has a minimum focal length of 400 feet. There are three of them in existence and one sold on EBay a few years ago for $50,000. It weighs 220 pounds so I'd recommend a very, VERY strong means of mounting it. I'd also recommend getting somewhere quite high to see over the curvature of the earth.
