Digital Camera Binoculars

Wow!!! Binoculars with a built in digital camera! How could you beat this idea? Well let me give you some suggestions:

1. stick
2. lead pipe
3. combat boot
4. brick

You get the idea, great concept, horrible execution. The bottom line is they are fairly decent binoculars with a really cheap digital camera built on. I've yet to get a decent picture out of my pair. And forget about getting help from their web site. No accessible support unless you phone them and there are no drivers for my Macintosh. Even Windows XP did not see the camera without loading their special software. I was hoping that the pictures mimic the zoom of the binoculars. No such luck. The camera is completely separate from the binoculars. The camera has a fixed zoom of 5x. Even though they only cost $69, they are not worth the money. If they ever come out with a pair that use the actual binoculars' optics, then I'd be inclined to give them another try.
