If you've ever wished your camera or spotting scope could serve double-duty, then the feature-packed VistaPix IS70 is worth a serious look. This stylish, 14x70mm spotting scope features an on-board 3.1 megapixel high-resolution digital camera that lets you capture what you see.
Just think of the possibilities. Is that a pair of bald eagles off in the distance? Are those really rock climbers halfway up Half Dome? It's all within your grasp with the VistaPix. Its 70mm multicoated optics and integrated eyepiece deliver terrific close-up images at 14-times magnification.
And the side-mounted dual-power digital camera records up to 26 high-resolution or 660 low-res images at 6x, or at a whopping 22x with the 4x digital zoom. The 2" LCD delivers sharp full-color previews, and the digital focus meter takes the guesswork out of focusing. It even takes 30-second videos! The IS70 mounts to virtually any tripod with its rotatable adapter. And you can show off your work on your TV or easily download images to your PC. It weighs in at only 3.5 lbs. so it easily goes wherever you do.
