Sony is releasing dustproof, rainproof “Digital recording binoculars” (2 models: DEV-50V, DEV-30) on June 21.

High-performance “G lens”, CMOS image sensor “Exmor R” (5.43 million pixels), image processor “BIONZ”, “Auto focus (AF) function” and “Optical image stabilizer (active mode)” are built-in, making it possible to record images as you watch them.
