ONE shudders to think who will use Sony’s extraordinary DEV-5 Digital Recording Binoculars.
Paparazzi will love them because no one will think they are taking photos or video (yet). The 10x optical magnification allows for some high-quality close-ups taken covertly from afar.
The binoculars can take high-quality photos and video in 2D and 3D and open up lots of opportunities. Take ornithologists, who when faced with a glimpse of, say, a rare turquoise parrot or a bush stone curlew, usually struggle to get their cameras ready.
Now they can locate birds with the binoculars and instantly press a button to record the happening before anything flies off.
The DEV-5 includes a hot shoe and tripod connections to help. …
Image quality is good, but at $1999, you would expect it to be. …
In summary, the DEV-5 digital binoculars should attract lots of buyers.
