Meade CaptureView 8x22

Pros: Handy, effective, easy to use, great value for the money.

Cons: Poor batterly life, lose of pics when batteries die

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. If you want to get fancy and creative I'd suggest looking at the newer models.

Review: This is the 8x22 base model binocular with integrated digital camera. They feel like regular binoculars (9.3 ounces and 4.5''x3.5''x2.2'')and for the most part they look like regular binoculars too. The digital camera and lense are built into the mid sect ...

The Bottom Line: No recommendation here for product or Meade company.

Review: I purchased the Meade Captureview Digital Camera Binoculars. I took some test pictures in the house and lighting was bad so pictures came out horrible. That was okay, did not expect to work good, just testing. I took pictures outside and they came out ...

Pros: It does do a good job at being binoculars.

Cons: Pricey set of binoculars, poor picture quality, malfunctions.

Review: 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 ...
