    Pros: A great second generation camera/binocular combo that meets my expectations.
    Cons: Could use stabilization for camera alone or both bino/camera. Also, better battery holder.

    Pros: It looks interesting. Acceptable optics.

    Pros: True 2 MP sensor. Capable of some good shots. Excellent PC I/O
    Cons: Poor light handling. Very sensitive to shake. Not stable.

    Summary: This second generation integrated binocular digital camera does make some firsts: It is a true 2 megapixel camera which can interpolate up to 3 megapixels. Now there's enough resolution to see something and have enough pixels to work with in a photo edito
