Sony has launched two pairs of digital binoculars capable of recording Full HD and 3D video. The DEV-3 and DEV-5 binoculars feature 10x optical zoom lenses, pairs of EVFs and compact-camera-sized 7MP CMOS sensors. They take advantage of the recent extension of the AVCHD 2.0 standard, enabling them to record 1080p video. The autofocus, image-stabilized binoculars can record up to two-hours of 2D footage on a single battery charge, recording to Memory Stick cards and allowing output via an HDMI connector. The DEV-5 model allows digital zoom, includes GPS and comes with a host of accessories.
While in a local electric store yesterday I was able to play with one of these. Pretty cool device, look inside and there is a 3D LCD screen that works great. The zoom was very good and so was the 3D effect. They shoot in the AVCHD 2.0 format and arent so expensive. Not to mention, even in very bright light you can see the LCD because its inside!
