Meade 8x42 CaptureView Roof Prism Binocular with...Strengths: Good field glasses Weakness: camera 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. 97% of readers found this review helpful.

Feb 12, 2006 Well, I just thought it was me. I have practiced and practices and I have not produced one accepatble photo! The advertising for this product is all wrong and one can purchase binoculars at a must lower cost. The binoculars are okay but the camera is wack! If someone out there have any tips for my, I would really appreciate it. I am a birder and I have really been disappointed with the results of this digital binocular! Please advise.

Nice view
Strengths: clear view
Weakness: view is layered, camera is not adjustable
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.
