Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Bushnell ImageView 11-1025C - Binoculars with digital camera 10 x 25 - roofCustomer Review: All but useless Summary: 1 Stars
Optically, these binoculars are mediocre. Whenever you re-focus you also have to re-adjust the individual-eyepiece focus too. Eye-relief is not good enough to use the binoculars while wearing spectacles, but the focussing does have enough range to use them without wearing glasses, even for someone as short-sighted as me.
The camera is useless. It is fixed-focus, which is OK for a simple, low-resolution camera like this. But when the designers put this camera into this housing, with a longer focal-length lens that compact camera usually have, they forgot the infra-red blocking filter. As a result, the picturs come out looking rather odd: foliage appears grey and other colours are muted. And even aside from this, the image quality is not great.
It also appears to consume batteries, even when switched off.
Reviews on other sites criticise the software that comes with the camera. I have not had any problems with it; possibly other reviewers have not realisd that unlike most cameras this one uses a TWAIN interface to transfer pictures to the PC - that is, the PC will see it as a scanner rather than a removable hard-drive. You do have to manually re-name the images you want to transfer, though.
In summary: forget the camera, and use the binoculars only convient way to see who's at your bird-table.
