Newbie looking for digital camera/binocular recommendation

I'm looking for a good pair of binoculars that have a built-in digital camera.
They exist all over the place but deciding which is best for the money is a real
challenge.

I need some help.....so:

$200 - $300 range

Need to focus as close as 10 feet (for photographing birds close up)

Would love to just look thru the binoculars and just push a switch to take a
picture rather than having to relook thru the camera display to take the
picture.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Your best bet is to used a separate pair of binoculars and get a digital
camera with a long zoom. The binos with built in camera are junk.

The problem is every such combination I have ever seen (or that there is
a market for) has a poor quality camera function and a really poor quality
binocular function.

Bushnell Instant Replay with the 3.2 megapixel camera. Uses the roofprism
design and the camera is built into the binos instead of a separate add-on.
Check eBay. They have them for $350.
