The binoculars are excellent. The camera however is a novelty. Do not expect a high-resolution close-up shot of what you are looking at. It will give you an ok 4x6 picture. It is a .3 mega pixel camera, and that is exactly what you get. The magnification of the picture looks as if you stepped forward about 5 yards and took a regular picture. I like the rubber eyecups. They make it more comfortable for extended viewing. The software is easy to download and use. I highly recommend using a tri-pod though for the best pictures. I am pleased with the binoculars and the camera is fun to use. Do not expect more though. If you want more resolution buy a set with more mega pixels. All in all I am pleased with it, and it is worth the $54.00 I paid for it.
