Customer Reviews

very disappointed2
I bought this over the summer, and as an ecologist and bird enthusiest, I wanted a good pair of binoculars with a camera built in so I can capture good shots of birds in their natural habitat. The magnification was pretty good, I could see things from a pretty far distance. However, every single one of my pictures that I took were very blurry. Being that its almost impossible to stand perfectly still or to NOT shake or move at all, these are not functional camera binoculars if you cant get a clear picture. Especially when you'rein the field and want to get a quick shot. The only way to get a clear shot is to put it on a tripod, and thats too much trouble and not possible when out in the field and you come across a great photo opportunity. By the time you set up everything, its too late! More thought needs to be put into these products before manufacturing them.

Not a good product.1
These binoculars are horrible. First off, the software is way too complex (and I am a software engineer so I know it doesn't need to be that way). My dad, who is good with computers, couldn't even get the pictures off the camera. And of course the ONLY way to get the pictures of the camera is through the Roxio software (i.e no way of browising to the pictures). But the worst thing is the picture quality. The picture my dad took of deer were all dark and blurry. I thought maybe it was him taking pictures wrong, so I took some pictures at my well-lit workplace. COMPLETE GARBAGE! So,If you buy this after reading this review then I think that you and these binoculars are a perfect match. BTW, I have the camera binoculars from Simmons, which are not that great, but at least they are functional, which is light years ahead of these Bushnell ones.

Perfect for Sports!!!5
My wife purchased one of these for my b-day. I took it to my daughter's U-8 soccer game. From the sidelines, I was able to zoom in on her and take some incredible close-up action shots. I also used it at a Raider's football game and took some great pics of the folks in the Black Hole.

I highly recommend this binocular/camera combo!
