You're not going to get a camera in your binoculars

Sure you can, that is actually a thing, though image quality isn't all that from what I heard and it's also not offered by the major brands (I think). Probably because it's really hard to make something high quality.

For something high quality, I have heard great things about the Kowa Prominar 500mm f/5.6 FL, which can either be used as a spotting scope or mounted to a camera as a lens. Apparently, the image quality is amazing, but then again it is also rather expensive (can be found on ebay for around $1000-1500 but retailed for more when new).

Sure, and there are multiple choices for lenses like that, also telescopes to which a camera can be attached. It' the standard thing if you want large ranges and camera. But none of those are binoculars, which is what the OP was talking about.
