This may sound funny, but according to my experience in a situation when you are going to a concert of your favourite singer or some other very important for you event, and you can't afford good seats,
digital camera binoculars will be very handy. It will not only help you bring object closer, but many of the
digital camera binoculars will let you take not only digital pictures, but also capture video, that you'll be able to share with your friends and family.
It was just a thought, so try yourself and tell me what you think!
