 All but uselessFeb 06, 2010
Optically, these binoculars are mediocre. Whenever you re-focus you also have to re-adjust the individual-eyepiece focus too. Eye-relief is not good enough to use the binoculars while wearing spectacles, but the focussing does have enough range to use them without wearing glasses, even for someone as short-sighted as me.
The camera is useless. It is fixed-focus, which is OK for a simple, low-resolution camera like this. But when the designers put this camera into this housing, with a longer focal-length lens that compact camera usually have, they forgot the infra-red blocking filter. As a result, the picturs come out looking rather odd: foliage appears grey and other colours are muted. And even aside from this, the image quality is not great.
It also appears to consume batteries, even when switched off.
Reviews on other sites criticise the software that comes with the camera. I have not had any problems with it; possibly other reviewers have not realisd that unlike most cameras this one uses a TWAIN interface to transfer pictures to the PC - that is, the PC will see it as a scanner rather than a removable hard-drive. You do have to manually re-name the images you want to transfer, though.
In summary: forget the camera, and use the binoculars only convient way to see who's at your bird-table.

 This item is only good when outdoors.Nov 06, 2007
Ive purchase this product because if me not getting all of the action of a game or a party that has every one gathering around friends/family to get their picture or video on my PC. The real part I like to mostly use it for is to get the action of the little one's thow down on a football game or into a frenzy fight where everyone is arguing over the game or see their hats and hair piece jackets rips off when they get into it. so that way Ive have all of them on camera and video to show them.
