Digital camera Review: Not satisfied at all
Summary: 1 Stars
Picture resolution is very poor after pics are transferred to the computer. Shutter delay is way too long to catch intended pic.Digital camera Review: Piece of junk...
Summary: 1 Stars
Not a very good binocular and a lousy digital camera. Save your money and buy a good spotting scope and a digital camera adaptor. Product returned.Digital camera Review: Reasonably priced older technology
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this Megapixel Binocular/Digital Camera for a trip to Maui. This seemed like a nice addition to the 3x zoom limit of my normal digital camera.
It works well, but with limitations:
1. The zoom is fixed at 8x. Ideally this would have the ability to choose a magnification level. On the other hand, if you treat this as a nice set of binoculars with a bonus of a camera, you should be pleased.
2. The small memory card that comes with it is adequate, since 3MP pictures are not very large (~600K).
3. The video mode is useful, but this is not a video camera. It is handy for 30second to one minute videos though that a tourist might like. You will want to purchase more memory if you make heavy use of the video feature since 30seconds is about a 2Meg AVI file. This camera uses the old Sandisk technology which is very reasonably priced, so there is no good reason to not buy it right away.
4. Definitely practice with it before taking photos you care about. My initial photos were poor because it took time to get used to the fixed 8x zoom and the extremely steady hand required to take clear photos at this zoom, especially in near darkness. Later, I found this ideal for the whale watching cruise.
For the price, this is great technology but will quickly be obsoleted as newer digital cameras drop in price and offer adjustable optical zooms of 10x at high resolution.

Digital camera Review: Very Poor Digital Camera
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife bought me these binoculars for Christmas. It has finally warmed enough to try them out, DISPOINTING! The camera has no focus dial so you have no ability to get a clear picture no matter what distance you are from the subject. The binoculars are not that bad, just a little small. So save your money because these are not worth the price.Digital camera Review: camra binocs
