One such from the Bushnell stable is the Bushnell 10×25mm Imageview Binoculars

The main feature of this Bushnell binocular is the 10×25mm specification and that will mean 10x magnification and the objective lens diameter of 25mm. This is absolutely very good specification as far the magnification goes. The digital camera that it has is the .35 megapixel camera. The camera magnification is 8x.

Some of the main specifications of the 10×25 Imageview binoculars with the digital camera are

10x magnification

Fully coated lenses

8MB internal memory.

Fold down rubber cups.

Eye relief – 10mm

The resolution of these pictures is …

Again as with the 7×18mm pocket digital camera binoculars these are very compact and are a value for money.

A couple of drawbacks are that this does not have a digital memory card slot which means that you have to rely on the internal memory and that can carry only about 150 pictures based on the resolution.

If you need the camera to have more pictures then I will suggest buying more expensive cameras which at least does have a memory card slot.

As far as the usability is concerned you will need to make sure that the camera is not shaky.

Initially that will happen and it will take a while before you get into the habit of holding the camera steady.0020

Bushnell range of 10×25mm Imageview binoculars have also other models such as the

10x 25mm 11-1026 VGA as well as the 10x 25mm 11-1211VGA .

Challenges

The handling of the computer and the digital camera interface is a tough game as you will need to load the drivers onto the PC and then have the PC recognize the camera. It is not as smooth as it can be hence a lot of people do not prefer this.

Some of the specification for this binocular is the prism design and the design is porro prism. Porro prism design is definitely cost effective to manufacture. For more on the porro prism design you can read my post here on the porro prism binoculars.

The magnification is 7x

Exit pupil is 2.57 mm

As far as the lens coatings are concerned the lenses have the fully coated specifications. The prisms are made up of BaK-7 glass material.

The resolution of the digital camera binoculars can vary from the VGA resolution to the mega pixel binoculars and for these Bushnell binoculars the resolution is VGA.

It has a 16MB memory to hold the pictures taken in the internal memory.

If you buy these Bushnell Digital Binoculars then you will also get a USB cable, A image editing software as well as the a bag to carry all these toghers includig the binoculars.

Picture quality of this 7×18mm Imageview binoculars is juts about average though at the price at which you can get these is pure value for money. As far as use is concerned it is fairly easy to use and you can get pictures by just one click of a button.

Challenges with these binoculars

The challenge is getting the pictures off into the PC. You need to install a driver to get the PC to recognize the Digital camera binocular. This brand does not have the SD memory card slot and hence it becomes tough to get a lot of photos and you will have to offload these into the PC every now and then. If you are using these while hunting then at one stage you will feel a bit handicapped that you cannot take more pictures with it.

The resolution of the pictures is 640×480 only. This is small resolution as compared to what you can get for a lot of pictures today.

There are some PC requirements that are a must have for you top download the pictures

Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

Intel Pentium 166MMX processor or better

32MB RAM or better

USB port

 As far as best hunting binoculars is concerned I done several posts on those and will be giving out reviews of those from time to time but now will be doing the reviews of  best bird watching binoculars .  

Here are the best birding binoculars but let s start with the basics first  

Let us talk about magnification first ..  

You will hear terms like 10×42 or 7×35 and the fact is that the first number is the times the object will be closer to you.  

In the case of birding binoculars the lower is better because the lower ones gives a wider view as opposed to higher magnification ones. They i.e. the lower magnification ones also give a better image brightness.  That is not to say that you should go buy one with the lower magnification but if everything is the same then lower ones will be aptly suited for the birding activity.  

Tip: Always go in for medium range binoculars and do not go in for very low priced ones. The best are the $100 – $400 binoculars. In terms of magnification 8x or 10 x are the best.  

The magnification should always be greater than 40 mm. That ways you will have more light as opposed to choosing something in the 30 mm – 40 mm range.  

Common terminology says that exit pupil measurement should be a must and it is the light in millimeters visible through the eyepiece. Greater exit pupil means brighter image and brighter viewing. As with everything the optimum is the about 3.5 mm – 4mm 

Porro and roof prisms differ in the quality and ruggedness but the porro prism binoculars are less pricey and if you are look at price solely then go for the porro prisms.
