Anyone saw tonight's Ch U news? It featured a Meade bino cum digital camera...I think they were talking about this :

The news mentioned it cost around US$200 but I thought I saw some OEM brand like Mecury being sold at the recent IT show for around S$160..
of course, optics and resolution quality would be different!
