Celestron VistaPix 8×22 binoculars

Celestron’s VistaPix 8×22 model puts the cool back in binoculars. The magnifying tool has long been clunky and burdensome, but the folks at Celestron have designed this lightweight (11 oz) model for easy mobility. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. There’s a built-in FM radio and best of all, a 3 megapixel digital camera lens. Now you can take great pictures of anything you spy. They even thought of putting a flip-up LCD screen, so you can easily preview your image. The binoculars’ zoom reaches 8x, but combined with the LCD screen’s 6x zoom, there’s an insane potential for 48x zoom. Spying falling stars (or whatever else you’re into) has never been easier.
