 PRACTIALLY PERFECT |
| It's not expandable and there is no preview window which is why it is small and easily portable. There are only two buttons which makes it very simple. The onboard memory (mine has 64mb) allows for 80 high quality shots that are usually clear and detailed. If you don't require pictures that will scale larger than page size then you can reduce the quality and click about 300 pictures before running out of memory. The first thing I liked about these binoculars was the sturdy design and the rubberized grips. The only thing I wish they had would be the ability to zoom in and out; however, the magnification is great for most high school sports events, parades, bird watching, and sight seeing. I have had mine for a year now and I recommend them highly. The PC interface could use a little work but once you get use to it the picture transfer from binocculars to pc is consistent and reliable. Good binocs especially for the price. |
 This is not for xp users |
| I have windows ME and it works fine. No problem taking pictures and downloading them to the pc. Pictures are sharp and clear for such a low cost digital. All in all I'm very happy with it.

 Get normal binocs instead |
| I wanted a cheap pair of binoculars with nice magnification and got these because the image capture seemed like a bonus. The binocular quality is fine but the digital camera is another story. I was first skeptical when the instructions mentioned that the camera is infinite focus fixed beyond 49 yards. Therefore, you are not shooting exactly what you are viewing since you can go up to 10x with the lenses. In any case this is irrelevant because after taking some test shots I tried connecting to my PC. I've done troubleshooting for a lot of devices in my day, I know what I'm doing, and I like the relative ease of the USB standard. No such luck with this. The included driver didn't work, the updated driver from bushnell's website didn't work (btw, I'm using XP). I always got an 'unable to connect to device' error. After an hour of trying all the tricks to get it to work I decided to return it. I would strongly advise ignoring the digital camera aspect of this pair of binoculars and either get regular binoculars or a better pair that doesn't require additional drivers in XP to dump images. I am returning these things today!! |
