Here’s a goofy contraption for anybody who has ever harbored fantasies of becoming paparazzi. The Proviewer digital 5.0 megapixel binocular camera, which is—yes, you guessed it!—both a set of binoculars and a camera, is the perfect camera for when you are bemoaning your seat in nosebleed section at a concert, performance, or sporting event. Never again will you struggle to make out who that ant-sized celebrity in your photograph is. This camera allows you to zoom in as much as eight times more than a normal camera. As with most digital cameras, there is also an option to capture video footage. It comes with a flip out LCD screen. My cousin Herbert lives in LA, in Echo Park to be exact. He’s always telling me that he sees the cast of Grey’s Anatomy just walking around his part of town. Because it’s one of my favorite TV shows (I just have the biggest crush on Sandra Oh), I always ask him to take pictures for me, but he never does. He’s too “cool.” Anyway, this camera should be a perfect Christmas gift for him. Maybe it’s a little creepy to be using binoculars at a coffee shop, but I think it is still an awesome gift if I do say so myself.
*That’s a quote from Lion King, by the way. “Can you feel the love tonight,” as sung by Simba’s meerkat friend, Timon.
