Top Digital Camera Binoculars

Just read a consumer report on digital camera binoculars that took user comments from all over the internet and awarded winners in two categories:


Camera binoculars with instant replay
Winner - Bushnell Instant Replay 8x30 Binocular with 5MP Camera

This model has a 5-megapixel camera, 6x digital zoom, can record video at 30 frames-per-second with instant replay and takes bursts of three photos at a time. The only negative comments were about the fixed-focus camera having to be a minimum of 30 feet away to focus.


Budget camera binoculars
Winner - Bushnell Imageview Binocular with VGA Camera 10 x 25


With a only 0.3 megapixel camera this is the low end version of the other winning binoculars. This model also takes video but does not have instant replay or zoom. Only available in 10mm eye relief, so they are not suited for eyeglass wearers.

Digital Camera Binoculars - Magnification and Aperture

What do the numbers in the name of the digital camera binoculars mean?

The two numbers in the digital camera binocular name are the magnification and aperture numbers. The first number tells you the magnification, a binocular with the specification of "8x32," for example, the "8" means that the binoculars make an object look eight times closer. The number "32" means that the lens furthest from your eyes, called the aperture lens, is 32mm in diameter.

Digital Camera Binoculars – What is Eye Relief?

The term eye relief refers to the optimal distance between your eye and the lens of the binoculars. Eye relief is measured in millimeters and is crucial for anyone who wears glasses because glasses hold the eyes back from the eyepieces. Normal eye relief for binoculars ranges from 9 to 13 mm but if you wear glasses, you need digital camera binoculars whose eyepieces are specially designed with long eye relief, which manufacturers describe as 14 mm or longer. If the distance to your eyes is greater than the binoculars' eye relief, you will see only the center part of the image and not the whole field of view.

Digital Camera Binoculars For Birdwatching

If you enjoy bird watching, you will no doubt be looking for the best ways to look for all of the different species around today. Ordinary binoculars are great but they do not always offer the best results and smaller birds that like to stay as hidden as possible could be harder to spot. So, if you are looking for the best binoculars to suit your bird watching needs, you may want to think about digital camera binoculars.

What Are Digital Camera Binoculars?

As time goes on, technology generally improves and the great news for birdwatchers is that binoculars have been part of this technological improvement. These new digital camera binoculars are surprisingly inexpensive and they really help you to not only see the different species of birds clearly but also help you to capture it on camera to treasure forever. This makes them perfect if you want to go traveling and you see different species in different countries.

Another great advantage with these types of binoculars is the fact that as well as being able to capture digital pictures, it can also capture video too. So, you could go home with a short video clip of various different birds that you have seen on your travels. What more could a birdwatcher want?

How to Choose the Best One for Your Needs

As there are so many different types of such binoculars around, you will need to know exactly what you are looking for in order to choose the right ones for you. There are various things which you will need to take into account including:

Video Capture Options
Your Budget
LCD Display
Resolution
Objective Lens size

The above are just some of the things that you will need to think about. Obviously not everyone will need video capture options and if you do not, that will lower the price that you will have to pay. Obviously, the more features that the binoculars have, the more expensive they will be. So, be sensible in what you are after and think about how often you are likely to use them. Fortunately as mentioned earlier, digital camera binoculars are getting cheaper with new advancements in technology and this is very good news.

If you know what you are need, it will be easy to find the right digital camera binoculars to suit your needs. Every keen birdwatcher should have a pair and they are incredibly easy to find. So, if you haven’t thought about purchasing any of these yet, you may want to think about it now!
