For those who enjoy outdoor activities such as bird watching, sports, or wildlife viewing, it is common knowledge that it can be a bit tricky trying to take pictures in the field. Usually you’ll have your camera, including its massive zoom lens, at your side, but it is pretty awkward trying to put the binoculars away and get your camera ready in time to snap a photo. With these types of activities centered on things that can change in the blink of an eye, by the time you have your camera ready it might be too late to get your picture of the bird that you were watching or a highlight-reel worthy play in a sports game. The answer to your dilemma may be a relatively new product that combines a digital camera with the power and magnification of binoculars.

With these products, you can easily snap a picture while viewing the image through your binoculars. Depending on how much money you’d like to spend, you can get models that carry all the bells and whistles of a regular digital camera, or you can go with a slightly less fancy version that still does the trick without all the extras. Some even come with a flip up LCD screen for ease of use. Others can take thirty second videos, which is great for sports games or bird watchers. Just like when purchasing a digital camera, when you buy binoculars of this type, be sure to look at the megapixel capabilities. Usually you’ll want between three and five if you are planning on printing your pictures. The higher the megapixel rating, the larger you can blow up the pictures without losing quality. If you are only planning to use your pictures on the computer, then you can sacrifice the higher megapixels for a lower cost.
