What are the best features to look for when buying a digital binocular camera?
I’m going to watch the space shuttle launch from 6 miles away. There is so much choice that I don’t know what to choose. Because the shuttle will be far, I want a good magnification. Please tell me minimum numbers for features such as megapixels, resolution settings, magnification. And also maybe brand name for such devices. Thanks.
Are you getting a regular camera attached to a pair of binoculars?
Or are you getting a stereo camera which doubles as binoculars?
Are you spending $10s, $100s or $1000s?
Look for image stabilizing binoculars. I don’t know if you can get them with the camera image also stabilized. Stabilization can be optical, digital or both. With high magnification, you can’t hold binoculars steady enough by hand. You can’t get too much magnification unless you don’t have stabilization.
If they are mounted on a tripod, make sure you can track the motion of the rocket smoothly. Most tripod camera mounts are not made for tracking a moving target. The best (if money is no object) would be a motorized mount with remote control.
The separation between objective lenses determines whether you will get any depth perception 6 miles away. To see the rocket in 3D, you need a very wide separation ΜΆ like maybe 10 feet, but now we’re talking several thousand dollars.
If you don’t spend $1000s, the rocket will just be a blurry speck at the top of a column of smoke.
