Bushnell Imageview Model 11-1026

I recieved a pair of Bushnell Imageview Binoculars as a free gift for using a particular horse racing website to place my wagers. Because I recieved these for free, I wasn't expecting them to have high quality, but I was wrong.
These binoculars aren't like any binoculars I've used before.
These have the ability to not only magnify, but capture images as a digital camera would. The binoculars were a little bit difficult to focus completely because the focus knob in the middle was pretty stiff. Once I loosened that up, I went to the racetrack and used them to view the races as I have done with many sets of binoculars. These binoculars don't magnify any differently than other sets I've used, but the feature that allows you to take pictures is definatley very cool.
After the first race of the day, I had two pictures taken. I went home, and attached a cord to my computer, as one would with a digital camera if they were looking to move pictures to an email. The pictures came out crystal clear and although most binoculars don't require 2 AAA batteries, the price you pay for those are definately worth the ability to take pictures of your favorite horses and scenes.
You don't have to be an expert with computers or with computer equipment to figure out how to use them either. You simply need to attach a cord and click a few buttons on your keyboard. I'd recommend these binoculars to anyone who likes horse racing or sightseeing because I found them highly effective for both.
