Tasco Bino/Cam 7800
The Tasco Bino/Cam 7800 is a hybrid binocular-camera, combining a pair of binoculars with a built-in film camera in a single housing. It was sold as a novelty optical accessory rather than a serious photographic instrument.
At UK auction the Bino/Cam 7800 is a thinly traded item, with hammer results to date sitting between roughly £62 and £82 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. With only two recorded sales, the price a Bino/Cam 7800 is worth today is best treated as a guide rather than a firm market value, and condition of the optics and shutter strongly affects what one sells for.
