Can't make work

 

Can't make work

I also can't make this work with either Windows XP or Vista. The Meade website is horrible for information or driver downloads. I received as a gift, and was looking here for how to make it work. Still not successful, and ready to give up.

A waste of money

 

A waste of money

I brought it with me to a day time football game and could not believe how poorly the photos turned out. I limited myself to shooting objects about 80 feet away. I took 84 images before I ran out of storage capacity and about 8 were worth keeping after...

great as binoculars only

 

These binoculars are very compact, light weight, and easy to focus. As for the camera, very disappointing. The pictures it takes are very poor. The position of the button to take the picture is in kind of a bad spot, so it seems like no matter what you...

Poor Pics and Memory

 

The battery life is awful and if the battery goes so do your pictures. The battery compartment actually had a malfunction and camera would turn off sporadically and dump the pictures. Very disappointed in performance and value. We purchased it as a...

It does do a good job at being binoculars

Pricey set of binoculars, poor picture quality, malfunctions

Consumer review by:

Capture the view but not all the detail you see

 

I love gadgets. This one seemed like a nice idea, take pictures of objects at a distance without the cost of an expensive telephoto lens. Well, like my mini Digicam, I was disappointed. The full specs are below, however in high res you can get 45 pics,...

Combination camera and binocular

Very narrow field of vision
