3 out of 5 stars OK, but...............2005-12-21

It is a little bukier than I expected. A huge problem I had was the battery life: I only took 8 shots before a new pair of Duracells run dead. When the light is right, the picture is quite good.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great grown-up toy to have!.......2003-06-16

My wife and I have so much fun with this digital cam/binocular; it is just awesome!

1 out of 5 stars good idea bad concept.......2003-05-27

The binocular is pretty good excellent optics.The digital camera part is the problem.REALLY low quality and that's on the high setting.The image is fuzzy and not only because of shake.Is even worse in low light conditions. Another problem is the battery length, with 2 AAA batteries you can get about 15-20 shots only.If you want to get anyway i would suggest getting lower priced combo it can hardly be worse than the Carson ....

1 out of 5 stars This camera is horrible and customer service stinks.......2007-08-16

I purchased two of these cameras for wildlife surveys and they both worked for about 1 week then one of them started to only take black images both day and night. So I sent it in for repair and they charged me 10$ to send it in even though it was under warranty then I got it back and it worked for a few weeks and it messed up again and I sent it in again and another 10$ and then it broke again so I gave up on this camera. The other system worked for about 1 month got some good images on it then it started doing the same thing as the first one so then I quit using either camera now they are just sitting and collecting dust. Probably should just throw them away. I have since purchased three other camera brands and would recommend the leaf river IR3-bu as my favorite IR flash camera even over the the other two cameras I have tried the no flash cuddeback and stealh cam I230IR.

1 out of 5 stars This Product Doesn't Deliver.......2006-04-18

I have used the Bushnell Trail Scout Pro 2.1 MP for a little over two weeks now and it has been a disappointment. The unit has not produced a single in-focus picture in any of its operational modes. Although not described in the instruction manual, the device appears to use an infra red focusing light and receiver. The 'focusing' time interval is several seconds long before the camera snaps a picture which may suggest that the source/receiver aren't well matched or are underpowered. It may also be that Bushnell is using a single compromise algorithm for both visible and infra red light when focusing - the result of which is that the camera is never in focus.
Both the LED flash and the incandescent flash are so weak that almost all night images have to be extensively post processed just to see what is in the photo. The incandescent flash is good for about 15 feet while the IR flash is even less. This is unfortunate since the infra red motion detector works for over 30 feet even for small animals.
The unit I have is also erratic in performance: a fair number of photos are inexplicably overexposed while others (at night) are totally black and can't be processed at all. The instruction manual in the box and the Bushnell website have not been helpful. The worst of it is that the Bushnell folks are very hard to contact. They do not have a customer service email address posted on their website which leaves telephone fax or writing a letter. After telephone waits I have faxed them a number of times and am still waiting for a response.
The idea of this product is good and the equipment appears and feels rugged so if the folks at Bushnell can figure out how to make it work properly and then describe it with a better manual they will have something worth the price. Until then I suggest purchasers look to other sources for a better product, but I will warn you in advance - other solutions will be more costly.

        4 out of 5 stars Best buy for the time being.........2003-11-26

        I bought my Pentax digibino in Istanbul-Turkey, it is quite nice and user friendly equipment. I rated it with 4 stars,as it needs external memory slot and more powerful lenses to get all five (at least 10x optical zoom). Pentax has the quality as expected,
        battery life is a bit short so it is better to use with 1800-2000 mA rechargable Ni-Mh or Li-ion batteries.. It is being sold about 350$ (inc. VAT), but I bought mine for 220$ that is very good buy thanks to sellers favour..It is not a toy as some comments marked it out if you check its prices comperatively with the normal digital cameras with 7x optical zoom..Thanks to PENTAX for not letting me to buy cheaper versions of similar kind of cameras by producing well designed Digibino.

        1 out of 5 stars just an expensive toy.......2003-08-14

        The concept of digital binoculars is exciting. Unfortunately, the ones that have been produced so far are nothing more than expensive toys. You might as well tape together the cheapest binoculars and cheapest digital camera you can find. Most of the digital binoculars on the market are clearly toys, but this model has the appearance that it might be different. It's not. Look at the tiny lens in the center. Does it look like it would produce good photos of distant objects?

        5 out of 5 stars Terrific for birders!.......2003-05-02

        I bought the DigiBino mainly to use while birdwatching, and it's ideal for that purpose. I'm very pleased with it. The built-in digital camera is a solid middle-of-the-road digicam, with a good memory capacity (100 shots at best quality), and the automatically adjusting shutter speed lets me take pictures more quickly with less fussing. I'm not a photographer, so I like all of the automatic features built into the camera. The zoom is excellent. And with the camera off, the DigiBino works just fine as a medium-end pair of binoculars.

        Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't have any difficulty adjusting the width of the eyepieces or the focal settings. The digital menus and settings are clear and easy to use. The DigiBino is USB-enabled, and I installed it on my computer with no trouble or fuss at all. It took about five minutes and it was up and running. It's easy to get the images off the camera onto the hard drive to save and edit them, too.

        I think the Digibino is an all-around good value -- I would definitely recommend it for someone who enjoys birdwatching and would like to take pictures of the birds they see, but who is not a serious photography buff and doesn't want the expense and hassle of buying and carrying a separate digital camera. I love mine!

        5 out of 5 stars love the digibino DB 100.......2003-03-01

        well having read a couple bad reviews on this camera...i decided to buy it...i trust pentax. turns out that it was exactly what i was looking for...im really impressed with it. only thing i dislike is the soft case...it should be a more durable material to protect the camera. so all you folks...if you have doubts about it....go for it....i love mine!!

        2 out of 5 stars This item really "is bad".......2003-01-11

        Bought this for my wife, an avid bird watcher. She was shocked at the poor quality compared to the high price to say the least! First, .8 mega pixels "is bad". Next 3X is even worse than the low megapixels. And worst. There is no way to adjust the distance between the eye pieces, therefore, if you are more than 10 years old you can't see through the thing. So it is back in the box and will probably never be used again. This item would be 5 stars if it were "a lot less than I paid for it." It is a yard sale item. Best price and best service on Amazon as always.
