Truly educational, but not in the way they intended.......2007-11-22
Oh man, these are trash. I picked up a pair at the local drugstore on a radical discount, just to see. They were so far out of alignment that even when I could get the images to merge, convex objects looked concave. Guaranteed to induce headaches. Then there's the mushy focusing, and the chromatic aberration on bright objects. Finally, the view is noticeably dimmer than in my 7x35s, which shouldn't happen with double the light-gathering area on the objective lenses (pi*35*35=3846 square mm; pi*50*50=7850 square mm). My guess is that the manufacturer should have passed on the "UV coating" and added some coatings to enhance light transmission, like you find on decent binoculars. If they'd done that, though, these would sell for more than the cost of a movie ticket (hint: don't pay any more than that for them!).
So I disassembled one side. Now I have a 7x50 monocular with all of the problems listed above except the misalignment, plus a cheap eyepiece for my travel telescope, two cool prisms to play with, and one lousy lens that I have no idea what to do with. So as a bag of parts to tinker with, this was a good buy *at the ridiculous discount I got*, but at anything more than that, or as a functional piece of optics that you can use for more than two minutes without getting a migraine, these should be avoided.
excellent bargain.......2007-10-11
excellent quality binoculars, for an amazingly low price.
shipped on time. No complaints whatsoever.
didn't know what bad binocs were.......2007-08-08
didn't know what bad binocs were, until I tried these. My 8x42 has a far wider view. This 7x50 is very difficult to use for me due to collimation issues. Color problems and very small views. Someone might be able to find its $10 Walgreens price valuable.
I do not recommend this one to anybody. .......2007-03-14
It is too big, and does not work as well as I expected. The price is also too high for such a binocular.
BAD QUALITY.......2006-08-29
Purchased because of very low price and 7x50 spec. I didn't expect great quality at this price, but did expect them to be useable. First one produced double vision. Took it back to Walgreens for another. The 2nd one has single vision but focus was so poor that I couldn't read a small distant sign that was absolutely clear with my other brand (low cost) 7x50.
Vivitar should be ashamed of themselves for selling such low grade trash. If you are tempted to buy these, go to a store where you can test a few and pick the best one.

Great Binoculars, Novelty Camera.......2004-02-26
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.

WORKS AS ADVERTISED.......2007-04-24
I bought the Vivitar MagnaCam 1025x1 as a "refurb". I took it along on a roadtrip through the Salmon and Snake River country in Idaho last summer. Found the binoculars to be quite useful and netted around 50 photos that turned out to be real keepers. I was particularly pleased with some of the details the Vivitar Magnacam picked up on tall rock formations. My other digital camera just didn't have the lens. This camera is not for the family picnic or class reunion, but I could see a hunter, hiker, skiier or pilot finding lots of uses for the product.
Viewmasters are nicer.......2004-07-02
A large group of my co-workers and I each recieved this product as a gift (about 300 of us). Regardless of our individual gratitude levels, not one of us has had a single nice thing to say about the product. First and foremost it is a horrible binocular as well as a horrible digital camera. Secondly, many of us (not all) can't get the eyepieces close enough together to be able to see in stereo. Thirdly, the battery pack hits you in the nose when you put it up to your face making it impossible to get the unit close enough to your eyes to be able to look through the lenses. It's lightweight and cheap feeling. Not one of us has taken a single photo with it that has come out anything but terribly blurry. I wouldn't spend $1 for the product and would return it for a full refund if I had in fact purchased it myself. I'll be passing mine off as a gag gift at my next "white elephant" party. I pity the recipient.
A Good Buy.......2004-06-03
This camera is excellent for tourists. Not good for taking close up family photos, unless you want them to pose at the end of the road :).
When the battery is finished all the images that is stored in the Camera goes, so beware.

Save your money.......2005-02-23
Disappointment, even at the $90 + shipping I paid for it. Good focus and clarity at 20x, but only with very high contrast (white on black) is the resolution any better--and then only very slightly better--at higher power, because the clarity/attainable focus drops as much as the magnification goes up. With lower contrast subjects one gets much better resolution at 20x than 60x! And what the Vivitar web site won't tell is that despite the fact that they're based in California, the unit is made in China.
