compact

Unfortunately, what seemed to be such a great combination package turned out to not produce what was promised. Our trip to the Canadian Rockies had some incredible picture opportunities, and seeing the results after returning home was very disappointing. The binocular function was fine, but the only pictures that worked well were those in very bright light. The camera indicated full at 63 pictures, well short of the 160 indicated on the box or the 120 in the description. There was no camera/tv cable as described. Someone will come up with a combination that eguals our separate digital camera and binoculars, but the Celestron is not yet to that point.

This works great indeed if you didn't have a nose. Pics are blurry unless U have VERY bright sunlight, otherwise..dont' take pics. Not what I expected.
Would not recommend.

As binoculars, it focuses fine but the only way it would ever be comfortable to hold to your face is if you had No nose! Handling is very awkward and your nose gets in the way because of the way the camera is positioned in the center of the binoculars. As a camera, it's not!! Your pictures do NOT focus in on what you are seeing through the binoculars. It produces blurry pictures no matter what the distance. It also does not auto-balance the light, your pictures will also have unnatural shadowing unless you are in very bright sunlight. The enclosed instructions are also very little help in picture taking and troubleshooting...
