It has certainly been long in coming but the facility to record with your binoculars as with the Thanko BINOCA01 is a welcomed feature which should enable the lowly scope to wrest some attention away from the more popular camcorders and digital cameras. 'The Thanko BINOCA01 is a Binocular with a 2 Megapixel CCD sensor and unlike its Korean cousin it can shoot videos too. The compact binoculars is powered by two AA batteries and can take pictures in various resolutions like VGA 640 x 480, SXGA 1280x1024, UXGA 1600x1200 and QXGA 2048x1536. It can record video in AVI format in CIF res at 30 fps and in VGA res at 15 fps. Thanko has surely packed it with features as you can use it as a webcam too.'
