Sony's DEV-5 digital binoculars are an incredible new piece of kit for nature/bird watching. At the touch of a button, these binoculars can record in Full HD video with stereo sound. They also have a 3D mode that records scenes as thrilling stereoscopic video footage for playback on most 3D HDTVs. Use the variable zoom to scan a wide area at low magnification before zooming in seamlessly to pinpoint a subject, such as birds in a tree. Turning on the digital zoom at magnification settings over 10x boosts the DEV-5's total magnification range from 0.9x up to 20x digital, rivalling many high-powered conventional binoculars. Unlike traditional binoculars, the DEV-5's electronic autofocus keeps moving subjects sharply in focus at all times. A comfortably positioned dial allows fingertip adjustment of manual focus – ideal for focusing selectively on a subject, rather than overhanging branches or other obstructions in the field of view. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization in the binoculars helps keep images clear and stable, even when taking videos at high magnifications. An on-board GPS receiver geo-tags video clips and photos. Tagged images can be viewed after shooting in online maps. The binoculars become available in November priced at $2,000.
