Bushnell Binoculars with Digital Camera
An obvious idea, but as yet not fully delivered. Most binoculars with a built in digital camera are not much more than a novelty item. Bushnell have been pioneers in this field and whilst I think they still have a long way to go before they produce a quality pair of binoculars with a combined digital camera that matches the stand alone versions, they continue to improve. Bushnell produce 2 models of Digital Camera Binoculars, the Instant Replay that can also capture video and the Image view series.
