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.


I suspect if you have googled for what you seek, you will have found
that there are no products out there that meet your particular
requirements. Yes there are binos with inbuilt cameras, but many of them
are limited to HD video resolutions, and don't make particularly good
stills cameras.



Do you not think this would do a job?

It probably would... but then again that is in effect a dedicated
compact digital camera with long zoom capability, and not a pair of
binoculars. (although it is packaged in a more traditional "non camera"
looking format)

At £1,650 it's also more than twice the price of a Nikon COOLPIX P1000
or similar...
