Question

Are the bushnell 10x25 binocular digital camera any good for air show and nfl football games?

Answer 1

To start with, a 10 power binocular is difficult to hold steady for good viewing.  The image will wiggle around a lot unless braced against something.  The camera is a "0.35 Megapixel Digital Camera" as posted on the web site.  This is basically 480 X 640 resolution.  The picture could well be fuzzy because of the image bouncing around due to the power of the binoculars and it's not a very good resolution.  You'd do better with an inexpensive point and shoot with a halfway decent zoom.  



  

Answer 2

Other than for the fact that they are binocular, not really. You would do far better with a digital SLR and a lens of about 70x300mm zoom. The 25 is a very narrow window of view and a 10x50 is quite heavy. I have a 7x15x50 zoom pair I use at air shows and a Pentax SLR with 2 lenses, a 18x55 and a 75x400 and covered the Dayton international air show and have many terrific shots of the Raptor in particular and of the "Heritage Flight" consisting of a P51, F16 and the F22 together.
