swingsong1's Full Review: Meade CaptureView Generation II (8x42) Binocular
Don't waste your money, buy a digital SLR camera or a zoom lens point and shoot instead. Although it might look cool, the casing is cheap plastic. The battery door pops off and on, and the LCD screen is flimsy.The whole thing is entirely too bulky and heavy. The distance between the lenses is ridiculously wide unless your a mongoloid. The controls are hard to reach while trying to steady the binoculars. I am a semi-professional photographer and could not stabilze the camera in good lighting well enough for the camera to take a close up of birds. This is seriously a bad product.
