Conclusion: Very Poor Digital Camera
Review: My wife bought me these binoculars for Christmas. It has finally warmed enough to try them out, DISPOINTING! The camera has no focus dial so you have no ability to get a clear picture no matter what distance you are from the subject. The binoculars are not that bad, just a little small. So save your money because these are not worth the price.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: too little for me
Review: -2 stars for size
i couldn't get my eyes placed on the rubbers right so stablization for me was not possible..
probably ok for a small female or on a tripod but a tripod defeats the purpose
+5 stars for a beautiful piece of workmanship, nonetheless

Conclusion: Excellent Binoculars, Okay digital camera.
Review: I bought this binocular for the digital camera for a wilderness vacation this summer. I tried it out in my backyard and found that you need a steady hand for the pictures to come out clear. It's a 50/50 chance on a good picture. A tripod would be ideal but impractical if you want to take a quick photo opprotunity. The SD memory card slot is a plus and would suggest getting at least a 512MB. Plan to take lots of pictures so that at least half come out halfway decent. I wouldn't rely on this camera for all your vacation pictures. Bring along your other digital camera for closer up shots. The binocular digital camera takes only far away shots. The LCD is only good for reveiwing pictures. It's hard to see the picture because it jumps around too much. The binoculars are excellent. The magnification is nice and clear and easy to adjust.

Conclusion: Reasonably priced older technology
Review: I recently purchased this Megapixel Binocular/Digital Camera for a trip to Maui. This seemed like a nice addition to the 3x zoom limit of my normal digital camera.
It works well, but with limitations:
1. The zoom is fixed at 8x. Ideally this would have the ability to choose a magnification level. On the other hand, if you treat this as a nice set of binoculars with a bonus of a camera, you should be pleased.
2. The small memory card that comes with it is adequate, since 3MP pictures are not very large (~600K).
3. The video mode is useful, but this is not a video camera. It is handy for 30second to one minute videos though that a tourist might like. You will want to purchase more memory if you make heavy use of the video feature since 30seconds is about a 2Meg AVI file. This camera uses the old Sandisk technology which is very reasonably priced, so there is no good reason to not buy it right away.
4. Definitely practice with it before taking photos you care about. My initial photos were poor because it took time to get used to the fixed 8x zoom and the extremely steady hand required to take clear photos at this zoom, especially in near darkness. Later, I found this ideal for the whale watching cruise.
For the price, this is great technology but will quickly be obsoleted as newer digital cameras drop in price and offer adjustable optical zooms of 10x at high resolution.

Conclusion: Piece of junk...
Review: Not a very good binocular and a lousy digital camera. Save your money and buy a good spotting scope and a digital camera adaptor. Product returned.
