Bushnell Image View 8x21 Binocular w/VGA camera: Customer Reviews & Product Details

Lo compré a modo de prueba y me siento satisfecho con la compra. Las fotos tomadas hasta ahora las considero de buena calidad. Sirve para captar momentos a distancia que de otra forma la cámara normal no daría el tiempo para capturar esos momentos.

The Good: Great price, Small size is great for hiking, travel & concerts. Takes fairly good pictures & software is easy to use.
The Bad: Having to hold the binoculars very steady for a good focused picture, which is very hard to do. Take extra batteries, they don't last long.

These binoculars have pretty decent resolution. Just a little too quick to go into battery saving sleep mode when trying to spot and take a good shot. The magnification of the pictures isn't exactly the same magnification as the binocular, but it is very close! After taking multiple shots in multishot 3 photo mode, the device resets itself to the default single photo setting. This causes you to memorize keystrokes to get back to the multishot setting in order to get additional shots if you are still spotting with the viewfinder. It's not difficult though, just a hair inconvenient. Recording video with this device gives surprising clear results. The video is about 8 seconds worth for each shot. During playback, the video is a little fast on the playback speed but still very viewable. Again, after shooting video, the device resets back to single photo mode. I don't use the included software to view the pictures. I just hook this up to a USB port and my Mac (and Windows computer at work) reads it as an external thumb drive. I just click through the folders and I can view the images or movies. There is no special USB cord for these binoculars. It uses the standand mini-USB so you can have multiple cords if needed. For the price, this is a great cheap thrill. Several of my friends are buying some after seeing mine and the quality they produce.

I just started the hobbie of bird watching, so my husband bought me these as a gift. I have to say that I get wonderful clarity, but the photo aspect is lacking, but I'm willing to over look that and really didn't expect much in that department. I would have to say I would get a cheaper pair and lose the photo/video part, until Bushnell can impove on it.

I purchaced this for my 80 yr old mother who resides in England.
Her home overlooks the Solent which is the body of water leading to the port of Southampton, now she can view the great liners and take photo's of them coming and going from their cruise's
