I find this item to be handy & lightweight/pocket sized, but all pictures are very grainy and therefore the item can only be considered as a ’snapshot device’. More of a gimmic than an essential item for people such as birdwatchers.

I found this Item to be good for Horse races , Baseball games , and things that are a good distance from you but the action will all happen in frame. There is a delay in pushing the button and taking the picture that you have to get used to. timing it , but you can really get some good shots once you get a custome to it. To hope for the best timing on short actions , like a pitch the multi frame function works best. If you are within 100 ft. of were the action is use a digital camera.

I found these to be well worth the $34.00 that I paid for them from Beach camera,but I would have been very disapointed if I had paid $89.95 like some of the other sites are asking!

Product definition is not high, the quality of some of the problems, and sometimes can not shoot photos.

This “Celestron VistaPix 8×32 2.0 Megapixel Binocular / Digital Camera” has decent optics and is actually a fairly nice set of casual or backup set of binoculars for watching wildlife in the backyard or taking on hikes. The integrated 2mp digital camera is functional and easy to use, but with the low image quality it really is only useful as a way to take “memento” pictures of places and things you saw through the binocular (see sample picture in “Customer Images”). Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Good Optical Quality; the binoculars are clear and crisp
+ Easy to Use; the LCD menu display is simplistic and easy to navigate
+ Is A Camera; while not fantastic, it DOES have a built in digital camera
+ Takes SD Cards; it does have 8mb of internal memory, but it also takes SD cards
Cons -
- Marginal Image Quality; the 2mp image is only good enough for “reminder” pictures
- Poor Low Light Image Quality; the photos get very grainy in lower light situations
- Plastic Construction; the body is mostly plastic, giving me concerns about the long term durability of the battery compartment door
Misc -
* Comes with a Neck Strap (attached), Software CD (which I didn’t need to install), USB Cable (which I didn’t use since it takes SD cards), and a protective sleeve
* Takes 2xAAA batteries, not included
* “Hi-Res” pictures are approx 400kb – 500kb in file size (I haven’t even tried the “Low-Res” mode)
It should be mentioned that the list price for these is way too much, but they do go on “deep discount” Gold Box sales occasionally (where I got mine).
Recommended, with the above caveats.
