Camera binoculars are the cool purchase or gift for a gadget nut who has it all. The camera binocular combo units are also great for people who take long-distance pictures like bird watchers, sports fans or wildlife enthusiasts. Here are the top digital camera and binocular combos.
1. Barska Point N' View 5-Megapixel Camera Binoculars
There aren't many instances in which you get both a high quality set of binoculars and a decent digital camera. This Barska is the exception, providing 8x magnification, a flip color LCD screen and video recording. It is also pretty compact, weighing just around 10 ounces.
2. Bushnell Image View 3.2-Megapixel Camera Binoculars
These compact 14.8-ounce digital camera binoculars are a good choice for those who want binoculars that shoot pictures you can actually print, but don't want to spend too much money. Despite a lower price-tag than the binoculars above, this model does offer many features. You do lose a couple megapixels, which means you won't make big prints. You can still shoot video, get a flip LCD screen and you can attach it to a tripod.
3. Bushnell 8x32 Instant Replay Roof Prism Binocular with Built-in Digital Camera
This one is ideal for the sports enthusiast as well as the bird or wildlife watcher, as it also features a video recording capability (30 second clips). This also has the flip-up LCD screen, and shoots 2.1 megapixel images.
4. Pentax Digibino DB 100 Digital Camera/Binoculars
This was the first digital camera/binocular camera combo, and is still a good choice. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of some of its competitors, but it has a nice compact design and is very portable.
5. Bushnell Porro Prism Binocular and Built-in 0.35 Megapixel Digital Camera
This only has a .3 megapixel camera, but it is a good basic combo for a light user or someone who doesn't need to make prints of the images. The best feature? It costs around $60.
