What about the binoculars featuring a digital camera! Sun Photo in Korea has introduced the concept of 2Mpix digital camera with expandable SD card slot in the binoculars. I hope that we would be able to find the video recording too in the next coming models. These digital binoculars can be found in Korean stores for 370,000 KRW ($390).

TC- 242N: A 5.0 megapixel camera/ binoculars
The TC- 242N is a 5.0 Megapixel digital camera cum binoculars and it is claimed that you will be able to read a license plate 300 yards away. A cool gadget for the geeks who love to record what they see through binoculars. Good for site seeing and safari where you would not like first to peer into binocular and then juggle for camera to shoot the animals. Its USB compatibility means that you can easily download data to your PC and share. You will also find a USB 1.1 integrated with this device but it is beyond my knowledge why USB 2.0 was not integrated. The camera/ binocular features a SD card slot and a 8x non digital zoom. It has a 1.5-inch TFT LCD screen which gives two resolution modes of 1600 x 1200 and 640 x 480. When plugged to your PC it is compatible to Windows 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP.
