Versatile Binocular

Versatile Binocular takes pictures video clips and is even a web cam...


Quote:
The eView 8x32 LCD is the latest in high-tech, multipurpose binoculars. Its 32mm multicoated optics provide crisp, bright views at 8x magnification. And molded right in between the twin optical barrels is a 2.1 megapixel digital camera, complete with a 1-7/16" color TFT/LCD flip screen for previewing and reviewing shots. The included 32MB SD card stores 24 high-resolution (1600x1200 pixels) or 128 low-resolution (640x480 pixels) images. (Memory is expandable with optional SD card.) What's more, the eView captures video clips up to 80 seconds in length and can even function as a real-time PC/web cam!

Smile Binos

Yes Diana and Dragon, Binos great. The biggest problem with binos
of higher magnification, is shake. Many weird and wonderful supports
been manufactured, and sold, to provide a 'steady view'.
Bought Canon IS 50/15, never regreted the day I did, over the moon
with them, (forgive the pun).
One thing I have found, porro prisms better than roof prisms when
viewing bright objects like the moon.
nokton.

Camera Binos

Celestron has a whole line of them .
Ive never tried them for Astro stuff, but its a idea worth trying.
I know one thing for sure stability in the camera/bino while taking shots is a must.
A friend has a pair and took them to a concert, he had them hanging around his neck as binos would, they let him in.
He took 54 photos.Any photo that had movement was blurred.
