The binocular is pretty good excellent optics.The digital camera part is the problem.REALLY low quality and that's on the high setting.The image is fuzzy and not only because of shake.Is even worse in low light conditions. Another problem is the battery length, with 2 AAA batteries you can get about 15-20 shots only.If you want to get anyway i would suggest getting lower priced combo it can hardly be worse than the Carson ....

OK, but........

It is a little bukier than I expected. A huge problem I had was the battery life: I only took 8 shots before a new pair of Duracells run dead. When the light is right, the picture is quite good.
