camera sucks 2008-02-13
I got this camera binocular for my husband for a christmas present, thinking this would be awesome to take on trips or to concerts and take pictures. But no matter how steady you hold the binoculars when you take a picture it always comes out so blurry that you dont even know what you took a picture of. I even tried it on a tripod we had around the house and it still took a horrible picture. Im planning on returning it.
Get it for the binoculars, not the camera 2005-01-13
This product is a great idea, but no manufacturer has been able to combine a great camera with the binoculars. The camera always seems to suffer in comparison.
Nonetheless, this is great for its application.
Great binos - dubious camera 2004-08-20
I awaited the release of the 3 megapixel model hoping to get some long-range pictures of wildlife on an Alaska trip. The binos are bright and comfortable to use, frankly better than some Nikon's and compact Minolta binos I use.

The camera was disappointing, not entirely useless, but given the choice of a separate 1MP camera with any kind of zoom against the results of the Celestron camera, go with the separate camera. I haven't really been able to determine whether it is a sensor problem or an issue of light, but the pictures were dark and lacking in contrast. A picture of an eagle could not clearly show the feathers in either the dark or light body parts, just a blur of dark and a blur of white. The edges were sharp enough, so it was not an issue of holding the thing steady.

The LCD is useless, washed out in outdoor light and so small that even with my 2.0 reading glasses on, I couldn't see much. The camera is definitely not WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). You have to fiddle with a zoom in / zoom out button on top of the binos which, since it can only be viewed with the LCD (which is difficult to see) adds to the lack of utility of the camera feature.

Bottom line - the binos are 4 of 5 in quality; the camera is 1 of 5.

Quality Product 2004-07-28
The binoculars are excellent and the video capability is nicely featured. A blinking green light indicates when recordiong in video mode; video action can be stopped frame by frame; and a memory card allows recording of an entire sporting event. The display zoom feature is useful in single picture mode. I am pleased with my VistaPix binoculars. They are a quality product.
Celestron got it right! 2004-07-17
The Celestron VistaPix LCD Digital Binocular is the best of class. It features digital zooming and stop action in video mode, features that no competitor, to my knowledge, currently offers.

I'm very happy with this purchase.
