Great binoculars, Not so great camera

by P2P Roxwell from Nashville, TN USA on 2010-08-03
I read the reviews on Amazon before and after buying this binoculars/camera combo. The optics of the binoculars are absolutely amazing and incredible. So clear and crisp. Worth the price I paid for it alone. But I really had higher expectations for the camera, as that was the primary reason for buying this, for my birdwatching. You have to be a good distance away from the subject to get any kind of good, clear pictures, which is possible. If it's anywhere closer than 49 feet (as stated in the manual), the subject in the pictures will be quite blurry and fuzzy. Unfortunately, my plan was to use the binoculars to see the birds in my front yard better and to capture/record them, but they were less than 49 feet away, apparently. The video quality is quite grainy/pixelated and small. Overall, I'm very happy with the binoculars, just not so much with the camera. If only you could capture exactly what you see through these great binoculars...

Poor. Just poor. Update: even poorer!

by David M. Dalby from Portland, OR on 2010-01-29
The binoculars are OK as binoculars, but are heavy and bulky with so-so eye relief and clarity. The camera menus on mine are in Asian characters and cannot be switched to English, Spanish, etc. The camera functions are therefore useless unless you can read Kanji. Or whatever. The display flickers and shows a low battery indication on two sets of brand-new batteries. The central focus dial is loose. Need I go on? This is a very poor quality item and ludicrously overpriced. Bushnell -or whomever owns the brand- should be ashamed.Update: Apparently Bushnell has no shame. The DOA binoculars were returned to Kansas for repair at my expense along with a ten-dollar check to cover their return shipping. Another 20.oo invested.Weeks later, a box appeared with a loosely packed and grubby model 118322 ImageView refurb rattling around inside. This is a cheaper, inferior model with no popup color viewing screen. The terse note enclosed tells me this is the closest model to mine, which is out of stock.The binocular optics are terrible with a fairly clear center and horrible blurring at the edge of your field of view. The center focus is gritty. The camera produces very poor image quality. It is slow to respond when taking a picture and therfore prone to blur.This is my last Bushnell purchase, period.

FAR EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

by David M. Bowen from Conyers, GA on 2009-04-09
Having relied on the Bushnell reputation for quality, I expected my Bushnell Camera Bincular to be a superior product. Once it was received (within a few days), everyone who sees them are impressed and remarks the high quality of their make and the quality of photos produced. You cannot go wrong with this product.David in Conyers, GA

Fantastic up close photos and great binocular

by Rob from Lake Tapps, WA United States on 2007-12-08
These are great binoculars! The binoculars are of the quality you would expect from Bushnell. The digital cameera is fantastic. We went to Alaska and now hav wonderful up close photos af whales, eagles and a rarely seen black fox. Also we now have a wonderful close-up of Ichiro blown up and posted in our son's bedroom. The one downside is you have to hold it steady. Some of the photos in Alaska were taken while rafting and they were blurred. We aren't big bird watcher fans....but I imagine this would be fantastic for bird watchers! Great Binoculars! I highly recommend purchasing a gig or more storage card as you will need it for lots of photos. Download and working with the photos are a snap. This was fun and a great product.

This is a piece of junk!

by SweetP from Evergreen State, Seattle, WA on 2006-12-08
The second time I used it, two different pieces of the battery section, including the cover, broke: the metal sprial thing for one end of the battery just fell out when I opened the battery section; and the cover prong just broke off. Man, what a waste of $[...] plus dollars, and what a dissapointment.I bought it to look at birds. Well, unless the bird is five feet in front of you, you can forget about it.

not waterproof

by Johnathan D. Smith from Palo Alto, CA on 2010-07-25
I bought one of these two years ago and was very happy with my purchase until recently when I used them in a heavy rain. The binoculars were never submerged or even fully exposed to the rain, but they obviously got wet. The lenses fogged up and the image stabilizer went haywire. It took two days of drying to fix it (I live in California so that was easy). The glasses look like they could take some rain, and I'd expect glasses to be pretty waterproof (esp. at this price) but these clearly aren't.

Clear Eyes

by walinda from on 2010-07-20
These binoculars bring the viewed object(s) up close, crisp and clear. The stabilization function makes a world of difference.

Great binoculars

by GeorgeR from on 2010-07-07
We bought these binoculars after using a friend's. Perhaps it's a comment on our previous binocular, but by comparison, these are spectacular! The image stabilization is a great help for these aging arms.

Works great

by Dave from Phoenix, AZ on 2010-05-10
I'll leave reviews of the optics and such to others who have more knowledge in the area. I bought these for the image stabilization, and that part works wonderfully. The view is the same as other binoculars I've had, until you press (and hold) the magic button. About a second later the jitteriness smooths out and the subtle details of the subject become crystal clear. As an example I used them from a ship looking at other distant ship traffic. They enabled me to read the ship names at a great distance where there was no hope without using the stabilization. These things work, I like 'em.

Very useful for daytime viewing

by Skoro from Texas on 2010-05-08
The Canon 10x30IS is compact and light enough that it's a good companion for hikers, birdwatchers, hunters, and outdoorsmen. It won't wear you out while carrying it in the field. The image stabilization works very well and is easy to engage. With stabilization, you'll be pleased at the amount of detail revealed that was formerly obscured by shakiness. A side by side comparison with any other handheld 10x bino will have you reaching for the Canon every time. Optically, it's excellent. No edge softness or color fringes. Definitely high quality glass and coatings. The focus wheel is solid and positive in operation. Interocular distance is easily adjusted. The neck strap is thin but comfortable.The small aperture (30mm) means that it performs well in daylight, but isn't really suitable for astronomy or night time viewing, except at well-lighted sporting events or concerts.For several years now I have owned Canon's 15x50IS binoculars for stargazing. It too is an excellent instrument and very well suited for its purpose. But its weight and bulk make it less than ideal for daytime nature study. The 10x30IS fills that bill very well.Highly recommended.

Zoom binoculars

Just what I needed for both sports viewing and sightseeing on a cruise - worked great! VERY clear!

In a word... fantastic.

by Blak Slax from Los Angeles, CA on 2008-08-17
The Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 is the perfect companion for any activity. Provides clear, distortion-free optics in an intelligently designed package. Having searched for quite a while to find a compact binocular with an adjustable focal range; the design, features, functionality, ruggedness and rock-solid quality of the Olympus can't be beat. Deserves SIX stars in a sea of otherwise mediocre products.

Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 Zoom Review

I purchased this pair of binocular's to take to the Indy Car race in St. Petersburg last month. I wanted a light fairly inexpensive pair to use for racing and other sporting events.They have been a pleasant surprise. They are in fact light weight, provide good optics for the price and are nice and compact for carrying and storage.I think for the price, quality and practicality for their intended use, they are a good deal.

Not a great item - doesn't do much and definitely not worth the price.

Description

Bring nature¿s beauty closer than ever. PENTAX Papilio porro-prism binoculars are the perfect choice for close-range butterfly and bird observation. Available in two sizes, the enhanced observation capability of the Papilio binoculars is made possible by a powerful PENTAX Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering (CLOSE) mechanism. Both PENTAX Papilio models also incorporate new design technology that automatically compensates for the misalignment of right and left image fields at close ranges. Named for the Latin word for butterfly, the portable Papilio binoculars are a perfect companion for spectator sports, travel, hiking as well as indoors for observation in museums and galleries.

Features

• No other binoculars like them on the market!
• Ideally suited for viewing insects, birds, artwork or any other object at close ranges
• C.L.O.S.E. (Convergent Lens Optical System Engineering) allows them to focus down to 1.6 feet
• Tough rubber covered exterior provides a sure grip and protects the internal mechanisms
• Revolutionary dual-axis, single body housing with synchronized eye-piece adjustment to assure correct optical alignment for comfortable viewing

Excellent Choice

by Dave from on 2010-08-15
Beautiful Image Quality and it is amazing that you can focus on objects 2 feet away. Only thing I wish it had was a cover for the front lens. Can't go wrong with this choice.

Excellent binoculars!

by Roger Ramjet from on 2010-08-03
I bought these binoculars for a trip and the proved themselves at every turn. Supersharp images, closeup you can't believe, easy to use and carry. Great item for the dollars. Highly recommended!

Good Optical and Mechanical Design for the Money

by smgsmc from on 2010-05-30
Good quality, medium power, compact binoculars have been disappearing from the market over the last 10 yrs, so I was eager to try out the Pentax 6.5 X 21 Papillo binoculars. The first number refers to the magnification; the second number refers to the diameter of the objective lens in mm. The classic reference standard for binoculars is 7 X 50 submarine commander's glasses. Although manufacturers push "higher power is better", 7 times magnification is about the highest usable power with a hand-held pair of binoculars. Above that, the image is noticeable shaky, unless the binoculars are outfitted with image stabilization, or you use a tripod or other stand. A 50 mm objective gives great light-gathering ability if you view objects in dim light, but results in large, bulky, heavy units. A ~20 mm objective provides a good compromise between light-gathering ability and compactness. Note that for a fixed objective lens diameter, the image grows dimmer as the magnification increases. Not an issue in bright sun, but a factor to consider if you use binoculars to view concert performances or go on nature trips in the woods. Another good reason to opt for lower magnifications.An unusual feature of this unit is the close-focus ability. Note that some reviews give the impression that it's practically a stereomicroscope ("focusses within inches!"); but this is not an accurate characterization. The manufacturer states 1.6 ft, which I verified (~19 inches from the front bumper). The coated optics are of good quality with flat uniform field, no noticeable color fringes, and no noticeable internal reflections. The two objective lenses are recessed into the body and covered with a flat window, which makes the unit easy to clean. The eyepieces have long eye relief (~distance between the eyepiece and your eye; in general, the longer, the better), suitable for use with eyeglasses. The retractable eyecups are one of the best designs I've come across. Typically a rollup rubber eyecup is used. If you don't wear glasses, you unroll the eyecup to full length to keep stray light from getting into your eyes. If you wear glasses, you roll the eyecup down so you can get your eye closer to the eyepiece. What usually happens is that the rubber cracks easily as it is rolled and unrolled (especially since the material is attacked by sweat and skin oil). In this unit, the eyecups are helically mounted. You adjust the extension by twisting it: there are three click stop positions. The eyecups are rubber coated to minimize scratching of eyeglasses. The right eyepiece has a diopter adjustment (in case your left eye and right eye have unequal vision, with or without eyeglasses).Mechanically, the design is excellent. Bulkier than other compact designs, but that's a design tradeoff needed to accommodate the close focus range. Light weight and low cost are achieved with an all plastic body. Almost the entire body is coated with rubber, including a rubber bumper in the front of the unit. The rubber has just the right texture to provide a sure grip, even with sweaty hands. It doesn't feel too "goopy". The eyepieces swivel to adjust interpupillary distance (distance between your eyes). The center focus is smooth. The shape is unusual and takes some practice getting the right grip. But it works well. You cradle it in both hands. It provides a steady grip while allowing easy interpupillary adjustment and focussing. It has a tripod socket. Pentax sells an optional tripod adapter, a short pedestal to allow the body to clear the tripod platform. If you use a ball-and-socket head, the adapter is not needed. The socket is a standard 1/4-20 thread. Note that it is a plastic thread, so it is not very robust. With the 6.5 magnification, though, a tripod is not needed unless you are viewing for long times and your hands get tired.Minor carps. [[SEE CORRECTION BELOW ON STRAP REMOVAL PROCEDURE. It comes with a neckstrap, but be sure you really want to use it. Instead of the typical spring clips that allow you to take the strap on/off, the ends of this strap have heads that snap into mating slots in the body. Once you snap them in, you can't pull them out.]] The unit comes with a dual cover for the eyepieces. The cover falls off easily and is easy to lose, but there is a loop so you can tie it onto the neckstrap. There is no cover for the objective lens. This combo (eyepiece cover/no objective cover) seems to be common these days, but I don't understand why you would leave the objective lenses unprotected. The unit comes with a vinyl pouch. There is no separate neckstrap, but there are slots if you want to attach the pouch to a belt.For the money, this unit is a good value and I'll give it 5 stars relative to its price point. Of course it won't match the optical quality of a $1500 Zeiss or Leitz, and don't expect to pass this down to your grandkids. Amazon price right now is a good deal, but the touted list price of ~$250 is well over the official list price on the Pentax website (~$130).[[EDIT 8/14/2010. Ignore the remarks on strap removal. See comments below. I've left the remarks in the original review so new readers will know what the issue was. Thanks, Ray, for bringing this to my attention.]]

Great Short-focus Binoculars

by TW from St. Louis, MO USA on 2009-11-30
These are excellent low power binoculars and have a close focus better than any I've ever seen. The 6.5 power will focus down to about a foot and a half and they are easy to hold steady at longer ranges. They would make a great first pair of binoculars, or any pair. Can't recommend them highly enough.

These don't last...

I purchase 3 of these and after less than one year of use 2 of them have failed.

As good as stated.

by D. M. Pepper from on 2010-06-03
So far I have bought seven of these cameras .To date they all have preformed well with the exception of the last one I installed today. It had a cystal clear picture on it during the day but tonight has a little RF drift that is rolling over the screen.I had these professionally installed so it could be that this camera was installed with some part of the connection not shielded well.I will call the installer tomorrow to see.I have one that hasn't been installed yet so actually the only review I can give on these is on six of the ones installed. I give these camera's an A+ for performance and price.Better than most and maybe as good or not as good as higher priced.Not sure because I have only owned on very high priced camera.Price on that one was 3000.00 but it wss a ptz and I expected it to be way better .Anyway over all the camera's are as stated in their decripition and overall im delighted with them ,so much I bought one to start with and so far have bought an additional six.

Fire Hazard

by Philip Fleming from Orlando, FL, US on 2010-04-07
When I opened the box and started to put the camera components together I smelled the tell-tale odor of an electrical short circuit. As the power cord exits the transformer to power the camera, the insulation was torn allowing the cooper to be exposed. This allowed the two wires to cross and short circuit. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a new transformer. This one also had the cooper exposed as it exited the strain relief. I contact them again, they sent another transformer that had the same manufacturing flaw. They seemed to have drawn the line at replacing the faulty transformer only twice. This is the response I got from Daniel P at customer support:"I have been informed that all the adapters for this product will have some copper coil that is visible through slots in the actual adapter."Evidently they don't understand that the cooper that's exposed is outside the protection of the transformer case making this a fire hazard.

Good only if you schedule the activity you are trying to catch.

by kevinbama from alabama on 2010-03-19
I bought one of these due to increased overall "hope and change" related criminal activity lately. I read the reviews on Amazon and pulled the trigger. I was initially blown away. The picture is excellent during daylight and way better than expected at night. I have this teamed with the SVAT CVP800 mini DVR. All was well.....for a while. After about two weeks, the unit would just stop producing video. If unplugged,then plugged back up, it will begin to work again. But only temporarily. Sometimes it will work fine for four or five days, and sometimes just a couple of hours. Unplug it, plug it back up, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Once it stops working, it will stay dead until it is powered down, then back up. So, if you can schedule the criminal mischief around your property to coincide with the times this thing works, it is an excellent purchase. Otherwise, it is just one of those fake/dummy cameras. I probably just got a lemon and could be more forgiving, if it weren't for SVAT's customer service. I called them, hoping to hear something like "Send it back. When we receive it, we'll ship you another." However, when contacted, they gave me a "return authorization" number and said "we will evaluate it, determine if it is covered under warranty, repair it and send it back in four to six weeks." "If it is determined to not be warranty related, we will repair it for fifty dollars an hour." Wow, thanks! It's obvious that SVAT is concerned about my happiness with their product. NOT! I guess I'll send the thing back for them to tinker with, once I buy a camera (not an SVAT) that actually works. Anyone have a recommendation for a more reliable camera? In the meantime, I'll just hope any video-worthy activity that happens around here, happens when the CV31 isn't on one of its many "coffee breaks".

Small and compact. Takes a little practice to get the lens adjusted to fit your eyes but once you do they are great. Image is clear and crisp. Great product for the money.

More for children's use

by Barbara A. Bloom from BANGOR, PA, US on 2010-08-09
This binocular was rated as a best buy at many internet sites, but is more for a child than adult regarding distance viewing, not at all good for viewing through glasses. I'm giving it to my grandchild.

Mildly Disappointed

by Ric M. Cascio from on 2010-07-25
OK, I guess. I don't know much about binoculars, except that there is a lot to see from the windows of my San Francisco apartment. My mother gave me a pair years ago in the 70s. I didn't realize they could be so small. These would be great for use in the theater or opera. The resolution is good, but it's difficult to get adjusted to your eyes. I would prefer a larger product.

Good at a reasonable cost

by J. Henningson from Berne, NY USA on 2010-07-19
These are very good for the money. They do not produce an extremely bright image compared to more expensive binocs, but they are better then the uber-cheap models ($13-$15) you can buy. The carrying cord is oddly arranged, but they are very light weight. If you are already hauling around a spotting scope and want a pair of binocs for on-the-fly viewing, these are quite acceptable. They would also work well in your carry-on if you are combining birding and business.

Excellent opera glasses

by A. G. Miller from Newtown, PA, US on 2010-06-04
My new Bushnell Powerview 12X25 binoculars are excellent. They fit in a pocket and are totally adjustable and keep their focus. I use them for getting great views at the theatre and the ball game.

I can't focus it well.

by Mark from on 2010-05-16
However I tried and followed the direction, I get a blurred image and it tires my eyes out. If I close one eye and look, the image is good, but when look with both eyes, the image is very blurred and it hurts my eyes. I can't really use it for anything. I don't know why.

Nothing to rave about

by Capt Barb from North Carolina on 2010-04-02
You get what you pay for. These were very inexpensive and not all that great.

Bad then Good

by HPL from Cols, OH on 2010-03-09
When my binoc arrived, the optics were terrible. Vertical disintegration, no way to correct. Returned and exchanged and this pair is perfect. 12x is fine for my hands and the view is great. I miss my Minoltas (does anyone know where they went?), but these will do and the price is more than right.

Two lenses will not focus into one picture

by Robert Dickinson from Covington, In United States on 2010-02-09
Bought these as Christmas gift for my spouse, and right after Christmas we took a motorhome trip, not testing them until we were on the road. We both did everything possible to get the left and right sides to come together as one picture but to our great disappointment nothing helped. Although rated highly on Amazon by other customers, this was a defective pair of binoculars. Problem now is that we were on the road for over 30 days and now it's too late to return them for a full refund.

Real Night Vision (within reason)

by Wayne Kuban from Goodyear, AZ United States on 2009-11-08
Bought these with moderately high expectations, and fully understanding the limitations of first generation night vision technology, I can say I'm satisfied with the performance. They work ALMOST as good as the military grade night vision gear I used in the 1980's. If you do a bit of research you'll see that 2nd generation night vision optics are significantly more expensive. If you're rich go for 3rd gen equip. Lesson here is Gen 1 stuff is affordable, but comes up a little short from turning night into daytime.I recently went camping in the boonies and took these along for the following review:Performance on starlight alone is not acceptable (at least with my pair) as I could not resolve much of anything without the I.R. illuminator turned on (more on that in a sec), but these binocs do work pretty good when there is a moon overhead. I could see further than I needed to except for anything that might have been in shadows. Shadows keep their secrets well unless the illuminator is turned on. No moon tonight? Flip on the I.R. illuminator and see pretty much everything in the dark quite good up to say 60-70 yards. The I.R. lamp (illuminator) has a sort of "spotlight effect" in that everything in the center is really bright, kind of like when you use a flashlight on the wall you will have a really brightly lit spot, and then area outside of that spot is somewhat visible, but much less so.Each eye is focused independently of each other, and when properly focused is fairly sharp. I did notice that focus is easily knocked out of whack by the lens cover(s), so each time I pulled off the covers to have a look I needed to fine tune them again. I wish they could be locked into place. There is also a macro focus, but I did not investigate that. I was more concerned about what there was to see outside of the camps perimeter.For those who don't know, everything has a very green appearance, and that's just the way it is. Newer generation night vision may be less green, but since it's so expensive I haven't investigated it. And you can use these during the daytime as well providing the front lens caps are in place. They have daytime filters allowing for daytime use, but I much prefer my regular (and higher magnification) binoculars for daytime usage. In a pinch though, these will do both. Hope this helps some folks out since reviews on these are hard to come by.

At $28.00 these binoculars were a super buy. They really pull things in close. Just as good as a more expensive pair. Amazon,s shipping was also super

Very good for amateur use

by Gerardino Jose Illescas Alvarado from Guatemala City on 2010-08-10
I am an amateur astronomer and this binoculars get the job done letting you make a non deep observation of the sky at night. It's pretty easy to focus on this ones (and easy to get them out of focus).They include the binoculars (obviously) with their protective caps, a not very soft cleaning cloth, a string for hang them and a bag for carrying.The only complain I have is that after a while they feel slightly heavy, but could be because I point them up to the sky in a tiring manner.

Bushnell Binoculars

by Richard G. Allen from Douglasville, GA on 2010-07-09
This product is very good for what I ordered it for. I needed it to look at targets on the firing range after making my shots to see where my hits were going.
