Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron VistaPix 8x22 Digital Camera BinocularsCustomer Review: Vistapix 8x22 bino/camera is features per dollar bargain! Summary: 5 Stars
If the highest resolution of this binocular/camera (640x480 pixels) is good enough for you, you won't find a better deal than the VistaPix 8x22. Though it is the same size as the similarly priced Meade Capture View 8x22 binocular/camera, Celestron says that the Vista Pix will hold 3 times as many high resolution frames (that is, 120 exposures)! Experience with my own unit seems to indicate that they are rating it conservatively because the camera appears to store many more frames than that, though I haven't checked to see what the actual limit is yet. Since both the Celestron and Meade binoculars have the same amount of memory, the extra pictures must result from a different video compression method that makes each picture take less memory.Add to that the Continuous Exposure Mode (up to two minutes of action video in low res - a bit jerky but acceptible for many purposes) and the Time Delay mode (with 10 second delay before a picture is automatically taken) and it is obvious that this product is quite a deal for the money! Oh, and did I say that the binocular optics give very crisp clear views?
