Comments about Vivitar 12x25 Digital Camera Binocular:
Very nice all the way around. Holds a large SD card (up to 8GB) for this type of product it has a very nice camera size (8MP) compared to most having 2 or even less. Compact in size. Runs on AA Batteries so pack extra. Has very limited instructions and their website is hard to navigate, (had to send email and complain a little). I was a little disappointed in the fact that I believed I would be able to view and take pictures as if I was looking through the binocular, my bad. Still good for what we are doing to be using it for.

Comments about Vivitar 12x25 Digital Camera Binocular:
The color quality is fine, but I have far more optical power in my camera with 26-676 mm optical Lense.
If you want optical power, this is not the binocular for you. Try one of many digital cameras with the far greater optical power.

Comments about Vivitar 12x25 Digital Camera Binocular:
For the price they're OK.
Not the best binoculars or the best camera.
But as a combination unit they seem to be OK.
I bought them for a shuttle launch viewing. I'll see how they do there.
