Anybody used a set of binoculars with a built in camera.

A few times recently whilst on my daily exercise I've seen things
through the binoculars which would have been nice to capture.

Also seen birds, deer, a fox, hares etc.

Has anyone used these things?

Seems like a sensible idea but not much good if the quality is
rubbish or usability is poor.

OK.

I suppose this is normal for the people on this Group trying to be
extra helpful.

However I haven't had one response saying "I've tried this and found it
good/bad/indifferent.".

Just loads of people suggesting that I get stuff that I have already
got,
but have decided isn't quite right for my use case.


No, basically what we are saying and indeed you are saying is that the
best stuff for the job doesn't live up to your expectations. In short
the world has unobligingly refused to deliver you your dreams.

Try waking up?

Guess why wildlife photographers don't wander around casually snapping
at things with their 10x50s

Not used one, then?

I think when you use binoculars your postural muscles, arm muscles, eye
muscles, eyes and brain are doing a highly complex job of image
'stabilisation' at several different levels and speeds which would be very
hard for an internal camera to work with. I agree the OPs suggestion would be
very nice to have. My guess is that it has been tried and found to be too
hard. Users would be very disappointed if it only worked with static targets
with the binoculars braced and not with the sort of moving target binoculars
are so useful for.
