Have you ever been in a situation where you are watching a whale jumping, a pair of bald eagles nesting, or a crazy skier, biker through binoculars and wished to capture that moment on a video? Well your wish is granted. With a digital binocular you can do all these.           

Digital binoculars are those normal looking binoculars that have been set with a normal shoot digital camera. A digital binocular can take numerous pictures of whatever you are looking at what’s amazing is it can also take videos. Any regular binocular user already knows that a digital binocular camera has an ability to take videos clips too. Then as any other digital camera you can use this in your PC and even burn the video clips to DVD.

This is not all after purchasing a pair of digital binoculars you will have to purchase a memory device of some sort to store images and the videos. Most digital binoculars come with an inbuilt memory where you can store pictures and videos of few seconds, but the memory allotted is usually less. There are different of digital binoculars with different memory options. Make sure that you do a small review and then purchase one as there are only few digital binoculars with external memory device included.

           

Make sure you buy a storage device that is well-suited for the digital binocular you buy. Usually digital binoculars use these following types of memory storage; Compact Flash, secure digital (SD), XDPicture cards, memory sticks, or micro-drive. Save money and time by purchasing a pair of digital binoculars that make use of the same kind of memory device as your personal digital camera.

           

As always make a good review of the storage device and the cost of it in different market places. More the gigabytes of the card more the images and video can be stored. Then again more the gigabytes more the storage device is going to cost. Do some wise shopping. Think how you can save money. Think is it cheaper to buy two one gigabyte cards or by purchasing one two gigabyte card.
           

Do a little extra survey before purchasing a digital binocular as there are many different manufacturers with many different kinds if cards. The only difference you will find is in the warranty. Know how long the warranty is good for and make sure you know what is covered.

           

When you are on an expedition and planning to fully use your digital binocular, always take a spare storage for safety. Don’t get into a situation where you see something really beautiful and cannot capture it because you have used up all the memory in the card.

 

Remember a digital binocular can never take the place of your personal camera or any digital handy cam. The market for digital binoculars is fairly new. The quality of the images and videos that you take is not as good as the ones you will get from the regular digital cameras and camcorders. But I can assure you that as the market for digital binoculars grows, the quality also grows.
