Each Point 'N View model is packed with features that allow you to see, save, and share your special moments with friends and family. Simply look through the binoculars and record the scene with the digital camera. It's that simple. You can even record video! This Point 'N View model allows you to add a high capacity SD card for even more image storage capacity.

Summary: Great for Concerts!
Comment: Many concerts do not allow you to bring in a camera, or they only allow the little point-and-shoot digitals that most people have but those do not zoom in enough or capture enough light for very good concert pictures. I've used these at an outdoor arena (from the cheapo lawn seats) and an indoor stadium (good seats but not directly up front, as you can't take focused pictures if you are TOO close), and the pictures were great. You need a steady hand as there is no image stabilization. I just hold my breath when taking a picture. There is a slight delay writing to the card, so you can't take another picture for about 10 seconds, but I strongly recommend using a 2GB SD card for your pictures rather than internal memory. If you shoot to memory, and change the batteries, memory is wiped! So use the SD-cards. The camera can only use up to a 2GB. I use Sony rechargable AAA batteries and bring spares. If you don't use the screen, the batteries have lasted through an entire 2 1/2 show with more juice left to view at the end. Don't expect the quality of photo you get with your 7-10MP digital camera, but if you are reasonably close to your subject you can get some amazing shots that otherwise would be impossible. Its fun to have this little 'secret' camera! I would give it 5 stars but the software gives problems, I had to go into the D drive and manually click the set up for drivers and programs. But if you use removable media (SD cards) then you don't need the software anyway. I got mine when Amazon had it on sale for $ 144. I added it to my cart and waited for a sale. For the price you really can't beat it.

Summary: Barska PV 8X32
Comment: I bought this item earlier in July 2008, & I did get the 2GB mem card also. The binoculars were not in focus when it arrived. The focal length was off so you couldn't get both eyes in focus at the same time and the left eye prism was ascew so you would see two views instead of one. I was able to take the item apart and properly align the optics, and now the whole thing works great, and the camera takes hi quality pics @ all 4 settings. @ $30 an hour, I figure Barska owes me $45 for repairing their pour labor. I'm taking this Item to Alaska this fall, and I'll post a good pic when I get back.

Summary: Huge disappointment
Comment: We bought this item for travel. We tried it before we left and the pictures are very low-quality, it works 'ok' during the day, can't see a thing at night. We ended up leaving it at home, haven't used it in 6 months!

Summary: 2 that would not work!!!
Comment: I received the first one and it had batteries already installled and corroded. I received the second one and it would not come on due to the battery terminals were under the housing which occured during assembly. Amazon stated that they had several returns of this item and no more were available!
