As a product specialist for both
cameras and
binoculars, I am frequently asked for my opinion of digital binoculars, both from a camera perspective and from a binocular perspective.
Honest answer is that a
digital binocular is an inexpensive digital camera mounted on an inexpensive binocular. In terms of performance, then, you can get either a better binocular or a better camera for what you would spend on of these products. In other words,
digital binoculars are about the convenience of having two instruments in one, not about performance. If you are concerned about pic quality, this kind of product will not compare to a good digital point and shoot camera. Pictures, however, are certainly good enough to share with friends or email.
