REVIEW—SONY DIGITAL RECORDING BINOCULARS DEV-50V]

 

This device looks like binoculars and works like binoculars – more or less – and can also record movies and stills. A pair of sensors captures the image in 2D/3D in 1080 movie mode or 2D only in still mode. Unlike straight-through optical binoculars...

Video quality is good when all the circumstances are right, which means when the subject is low contrast. The best clips we shot in 3D and displayed on a 3D television are very good indeed. 2D is also decent quality. Tracking focus is good ; DISLIKE:...

Not disappointed

 

Was looking for just a portable box that would sync with Wi-Fi and or Bluetooth. I did not look at the dimensions just the specs. Great sound with good bass a little bigger than expected but, happier when I received it. Its a hit at my house but, don't...
