World too far away? Want to see stuff but can’t move closer? If you’ve answered Yes to either of these questions then you need the Avatar Digital Binocular Sports Camera. It’s got a 2 megapixel camera with a 21× optical zoom and 2.5″ display. There’s 1 Gb of internal storage, a microSD slot, TV out, a voice memo for dictating your shopping lists and you can record stills or video.

When the bird watching get slow, there’s a built-in media player so you can review your footage, or crank some tunes. There’s also an e-book viewer (but .txt files only), calendar, games, a mini tripod and earbuds. Now where have I seen that UI before? AU$158.

The Avatar digital camera lets you can take snap shots from one building looking out on to another building, balcony or apartment, and works best in full daylight conditions. The Avatar comes with a mini tripod and can also be fixed on a regular tripod for extra versatility. With digital 40x and manual 21x zoom function, observing your object of desire has never been more fun.
