Summary: Great for football fans!
Review: I received my Amazon/Meade Binocular order the first time with an inoperative video screen. Amazon sent out a replacement the next day.

New order arrived, read manual, experimented with photo capabilities, video screen worked and looked great, excited.

Then...on/off toggle button stuck, and stays stuck that same day, after only a few hours of use, another serious designer flaw from the factory. Now I'm starting to feel cheated. The unit becomes inoperative, looping through boot-up commands, then turning off automatically. Item returned, I'm sitting out the next dance.

My discoveries...I liked the 3MP capabilities, still shots looked great, video quality is at a lower resolution than expected, camera is separate from binoculars, this is acceptable since the camera has auto-focus.

Critique: Eye to binocular contact not as comfortable as some standard binoculars I've had, manual focus knob on binoculars placed in a strange position, unit is a little bulky.

Overall, very user friendly with lots of potential, good luck.

Summary: Awesome pictures!
Review: I took some pictures the first day and they turned out great! 3.0 mp setting is best quality. Amazing how close up pictures turned out clear and crisp. The other reviewers statements about outdoor pictures being bad, HE'S WRONG they are better or as good as my nikon coolpix 775 2.0 mp. way to go meade!

Summary: Good Binoculars, Cheap Camera
Review: The digital camera looks and works cheap. Had to return product.
The battery compartment cover was not engineered properly, and the camera kept shutting down or not turning on at all.
2) There's no tripod screw!
3) The camera screen is not made well. In direct light you can hardly see the image. And it feels like it will fall off in the near future.
4) No lense covers!
5) The camera case is plastic!
6) Great Binoculars however.
The product is made in China. It shows with the digital camera.
Solid idea in integration of the products. However, engineering needs work for that price.

Summary: Instant Replay Digital Binocular w/ Display & Video
Review: The product is user friendly. I am able to use all features of the binocular without referring to the manual after less than an hour spent reading the manual and becoming familiar with the controls, menus and other features. I am very pleased with my binoculars. They are comfortable and easy to use while viewing a sporting event. I used them for every play while watching a football game and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The binoculars' field of view was perfect and I used an SD card to expand memory to allow recording of the entire game. The resulting pictures both still and movies were excellent quality. I am looking forward to using the binoculars at baseball games, for fishing trips and during other outdoor activities.

Summary: INSTANT REPLAY DIGITAL BINOCULAR W/DISPLAY & VIDEO
Review: THE PRODUCT IS USER FRIENDLY. I WAS ABLE TO USE ALL FEATURES COMFORTABLY AFTER LESS THAN AN HOUR SPENT READING THE MANUEL AND BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THE BINOCULARS! I LOOK FORWARD TO USING MY CAPTURE VIEW BINOCULARS FOR INSTANT REPLAY OF SPORTING EVENTS, FISHING, HUNTING, HIKING AND FOR OTHER ACTION ACTIVITIES ALL OF WHICH ARE PERFECTLY SUITED FOR VIDEO RECORDING AND INSTANT REPLAY.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: waste of money
Review: This is a terrible product: 1. The binoculars are very heavy and awkward to use. 2. The pictures are extremely poor. 3. The company offers poor service and packaged instructions are very brief and insufficient. WA
