Monday, May 29, 2006Digital point and shoot versus Digital binocular
On the surface, it would appear that a digital binocular is a good choice for long range photography. On top of it all, you typically get an 8x binocular with it. Problem is, the digital camera on this kind of product is relatively low quality as is the binocular. For someone who just shoots for fun and wants the convenience of two instruments in one package, they will work.
They will not work as well as even an average digital point and shoot camera, however. Even a modest digital point and shoot such as the Pentax Optio E10 will have twice the resolution and is capable of more magnification (12x) when you combine the optical and digital zoom. Then, too, you get other functions never found on a digital binocular - macro, flash and so much more. Best of all, the whole package is smaller than a deck of playing cards. If you really want to take good pics, my advice is to carry a decent binocular and one of these new digital point and shoot cameras in your pocket. That way, you get the best of both worlds and all in a package that may weigh less than the average digital binocular. Comments: |
