Best Digital Camera Binoculars

Best Digital Camera Binoculars
Digital camera binoculars are a great investment if you love the outdoors. These binoculars serve two purposes, letting you view objects in the distance and also working as a digital camera. This means you need to pack just one item. The best digital camera binoculars on the market is the Bushnell Compact, which gives you perfect clarity.

Instant Replay Mode

The instant replay mode is a unique feature of the camera not found on others from Bushnell or camera binoculars from other manufacturers. The feature lets you take an image or video and then replay the item before you save it to the binoculars or delete it. The video shows 30 frames per second. While this is common on some digital cameras and camcorders, this is the only type of digital binoculars with the same feature.

Resolution

Most digital camera binoculars have poor resolution, with 3 megapixels or less. The Bushnell Compact digital camera binoculars features 5 megapixels, giving you more clarity and better pictures than other models. You'll also find that the camera has a 6x digital zoom, rather than the more common 3-4x digital zoom. This lets you get even closer to an animal as you take your pictures.

Features

The Bushnell Compact let you focus in from 30 feet away and use the binoculars from 13 feet away, which is higher than other models. You can also purchase an optional tripod, which keeps the binoculars stable when used as a camera and prevents you from taking blurry pictures. Add a memory card to store up to 1,000 videos and photographs on the binoculars, depending on the size of the card; without a memory card it can still hold up to 300 pictures.

Software

The Bushnell Compact digital camera binoculars come with software you can load directly onto your computer for transferring pictures from the camera. If you have image processing software such as Windows Photo Gallery on your computer, the binoculars can work with that instead. It's very easy to use; plug the USB cord into the camera and then to your computer and the pictures will immediately transfer over, giving you a safe place to store your images.
