3 Star ReviewNice view
Strengths: clear view
Weaknesses: view is layered, camera is not adjustable
Summary: I got this gadget by a deal of $50, well, you get what you pay for.

The view is good, optical part is satisfactory. Because it's such telephoto, what you see is layered view, everything squeezed into a thin layer. No 3-D.

The camera is really dispensable. It can hardly take a good photo. Because you can't adjust it. Worst is, the camera does NOT get view from binocular, on the contrary, its photo is from its own hole-like lense.

Control is soso. Build tough.

Strengths: Good field glasses
Weaknesses: camera
Summary: Just an expensive toy that does not produce any acceptable photos. I am a professional photographer and a field trial judge. I have owned many digital cameras that have had a lesser - rated resolution, and yet produced better photos than does this built in camera. I would not recommend anyone plan on taking photos with this device, and plan on having anyone who was not at the event, thus adding their recollection to the photo in order to discern that the photo is of, to find any photos taken to be worthwhile.
