MAGPIX SX3 3.1MP Digital Camera Binoculars
Friday, July 31st, 2009
I bought mine from Target.com/Amazon a few months ago and I really like it. I posted a black-crowned night heron pic I took with it a while back. I've tried all the binocular camera offerings, like bushnell and celestron, but the magpix has the best optics and the best image quality of them all and its the only one with not interpolated 3MP. The others are all 2MP and then use software to get to 3MP.
Also, the Magpix has an "indefinate on setting" - great for birding! When I was trying out the Bushnell and celetron, they both kept turning off to save power right before the bird arrived. Totally annoying. Bushnell or celestron - if you're reading this - you need to incorporate this into your next models otherwise, we can't use it for birding.
Magpix has a good product and really fun gadget.
