These binoculars are a great idea and I love capturing the images I see. The camera takes good pictures, according to a person far from the photographer. However, the image you see through the eyepieces is NOT the image you get when you are not pointing the camera lens at the object with the LCD screen as the viewer. It's really more like a separate camera and binoculars in one device. I also have a hard time aiming the camera lens accurately at the subject using the LCD screen, but I think it can get used to it over time. Also, the binoculars aren't as powerful as I thought they would be, and no better than my old pair. Overall I'm glad I got it and the price is pretty reasonable. The product makes a solid, compact and well-made impression.
