A Zoom camera built into the helmet should be standard.

What would the camera be used for?

Hydroman....and stealth missions.

SE1 has a plugin for a very well-functioning binocular as a tool...

Integrating a similar function into a helmet/space suit would certainly be useful, as would integrating infrared and thermal imaging. And possibly also an information system for object recognition, a mineral analyzer, and similar information and navigation functions.

Binoculars have existed for a very long time, and while I think a camera with zoom, thermal imaging, or other forms of optical enhancement should be a character tool instead of part of a standard suit-helmet, it would at least be nice to have something.

Have you ever tried to use a pair of binoculars whilst wearing a space helmet? The thought of having to open up the visor in the vacuum of space, might as well have a cigarette while you are at it.

Deon - Of course such binoculars exist; technically, it's not a problem. For example, binoculars for use in/with gas masks... They're just not available in regular stores; they're produced in small batches or even individually.

Binoculars are just a lazy reference to indicate how long people have known having some hand-held "optical zoom" is useful. Most smartphones now days have a high-resolution camera with a zoom feature, stick on the mother of all drop-resistant cases and a handle to make use in bulky suit-gloves easy and there's your camera-tool.

That's also a possibility...

But the helmet attachment is a better option. It's just a little more complicated to create the model.

Examples of how it might look were shown in the discussion about spacesuits.

Operating devices with touch screen can be difficult with gloves on.

Fat finger problem.

For at least a decade, I have been using winter and cycling gloves with a piece of conductive fabric sewn onto them to operate my touchscreen mobile phone.
