Sports reviews of Barska Point 'N View 5.0MP 8x32mm Binocular

Customer Review: Great for Concerts!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

Many concerts do not allow you to bring in a camera, or they only allow the little point-and-shoot digitals that most people have but those do not zoom in enough or capture enough light for very good concert pictures. I've used these at an outdoor arena (from the cheapo lawn seats) and an indoor stadium (good seats but not directly up front, as you can't take focused pictures if you are TOO close), and the pictures were great. You need a steady hand as there is no image stabilization. I just hold my breath when taking a picture. There is a slight delay writing to the card, so you can't take another picture for about 10 seconds, but I strongly recommend using a 2GB SD card for your pictures rather than internal memory. If you shoot to memory, and change the batteries, memory is wiped! So use the SD-cards. The camera can only use up to a 2GB. I use Sony rechargable AAA batteries and bring spares. If you don't use the screen, the batteries have lasted through an entire 2 1/2 show with more juice left to view at the end. Don't expect the quality of photo you get with your 7-10MP digital camera, but if you are reasonably close to your subject you can get some amazing shots that otherwise would be impossible. Its fun to have this little 'secret' camera! I would give it 5 stars but the software gives problems, I had to go into the D drive and manually click the set up for drivers and programs. But if you use removable media (SD cards) then you don't need the software anyway. I got mine when Amazon had it on sale for $ 144. I added it to my cart and waited for a sale. For the price you really can't beat it.

BARSKA's Point 'n View is a state-of-the-art integration of a high quality roof prism binocular and digital camera that is equally at home on a nature outing, sporting event, or vacation.

Each Point ¿n View model is packed with features that allow you to see, save, and share your special moments with friends and family. Simply look through the binoculars and record the scene with the digital camera. It's that simple. Once the scene is recorded, you can download it to your PC, edit it with the included software (select models) and print it or e-mail it to friends. You can even record video! Selected Point 'n View models allow you to add a high capacity SD card for even more image storage capacity. Backed by One Year Limited Warranty.
The state-of-the-art Barska Point 'n' View integrates a high-quality roof prism binocular with a 5-megapixel digital camera, giving you a terrific accessory for nature outings, sporting events, and tropical vacations. Each Point 'n' View model is packed with features that allow you to see, save, and share your special moments with friends and family. The 8x32mm Point 'n' View is easy to use: simply look through the binoculars at your subject, and then record the scene with the shutter button. Once you've taken the photo, you can download it to your PC, edit it with the included software, and print it or e-mail it to friends. You can even record video. However, you can also use the Point 'n' View as a traditional binocular while bird watching or just checking out the scenery. It's an ideal choice for people who want the function of two separate gadgets but want to carry only one at a time.

The Point 'n' View also includes a 1.5-inch TFT color screen for viewing camera images, along with a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot for storing the photos. And thanks to the multicoated optics, you can rest assured that the images will look crisp and clear. Other details include a menu/control panel, a compact design that fits easily in a backpack or bag, an automatic CMOS image sensor that makes the optimal changes in different light conditions, a USB cable, and a handy carrying case.

Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.

Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.

Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line.
