I am to this weekend be getting a new pair of Binoculars. I was talking to my brother about them yesterday, and he told me that there is now a pair of binoculars that has a camera built into them.
He said that he saw them on the net the other day… on some american site.
What I want to know is, Is there really such such a thing, are they sold in the UK, how much and are they worth it?
Cheers all. 🙂

Cheers Ren that must have been what he was talking about. They look pretty good, but it whether the actually are any good?

These look quite good, some of them look like Polaroid cameras with binoculars stuck to them.

I stand corrected, did a search and yes you can buy them with a camera. There’s quite a range too. Here are the cheapest I could find. CLICK HERE Look on the main page under digital binoculars as well.
You can also get bincs with image stabilisers

Why would you want a camera/bino combo?
I think Binos with built in compass and/or rangefinder and/or image stabiliser makes sense but why a camera?
Seems a little strange to me.

No I did see them somewhere, but have forgotten where. They were something like $99…. in that price region.

Andrew,
I think your brother is pulling your leg mate. I have never heard of them but if I am wrong them please pass on the info as I would be interested.

I’ve never heard of them, but they’d sound comparable with digital SLR’s in pricing terms if I’m right. Unless of course they have a very low pixel count at the camera end… Sounds interesting though, let me know if you find them ?
