Here a good article on some of the top digital camera binoculars for 2009. As you continue to read you will see that the Bushnell Image View 8×21 Binocular and Barska Point ‘N View 4.0MP 8×32mm Digital Camera Binocular on top of the list for quality binoculars.

Stay tuned in January for 2010’s top 10 list of digital camera binoculars.

There’s nothing that sounds cooler to a gadget geek, then digital camera binoculars. They have that ultra slick James Bond type feel going for them. Or like something Batman would have in his utility belt. While that all may sound pretty cool, this type of binoculars really do have a very practical utilitarian side to them. Imagine how much easier it is for bird watchers, to get a rare glimpse of that red breasted whatever bird through their binoculars, and then click a button and have it captured. Without ever having to reach for their digital camera, and risk their target flying away. Sports fans are another obvious group that would enjoy a gift like this. Especially those watching from the cheap sets at their favorite sporting event.

Here’s a few quick reviews of the more popular binoculars with a digital camera built in.

Bushnell Image View 8×21 Binocular w/VGA camera

These Busnell binoculars sport a pretty decent image clarity, for the price. If you happen to be an Apple Mac user, you’ll want to steer clear of these, as they’re not totally compatible. They go for around $50 or a little more on many of the online shopping sites. They provide the flexibility of taking both still photographs, or video. This is a great binocular camera for the casual user, but the more serious bird watching type, may want to spend a little more money. Specifically, take a look at the last digcam binoculars (From Barska) in this review. It uses a standard USB connector to upload pictures and videos taken to your computer.

BinoCatch 4×28 Digital Binoculars w/Built-In Digital Camera/Camcorder

These usually go for about $50, but I’ve seen them in the $20 price range as well. A bit of a toy set, but something that may be fun for the kids, or maybe a one time usage. You get a pretty good software bundle with it for the price. ArcSoft Photoimpression, My DSC, and PCCam are all included that alone makes it worth a few bucks. The formfactor construction is a little on the light side. The plasctic used could have been better, and you’ll have to treat this one with a little care because of it. You do, however get 4×28 magnification, video capture, and a few extras. It’s kind of 50% camera, and 50% binoculars.

Barska Point ‘N View 4.0MP 8×32mm Binocular

This 4MP version is a big improvement over prior versions that were 2MP. The flip up LCD screen is a nice feature as well. It hides away when your just using the binoculars, but is readily available, when you need to take some quick pictures or videos. It’s often difficult to find a good digital camera, and good binoculars in one package, but Barska seems to have found the right blend. It’s far nicer than the Vivitar digital camera binoculars I was looking at previously. An optional SD card can be used with these binoculars.
