Bushnell Imageview bino's

**drkillemquick** · 05-30-2006, 09:24 AM

I have areally nice pair of nikon Bino's that I use when doing alot of glassing, however i was thinking about buying the Bushnell imageview bino's for when I am on treestand. They are an 8 X 30 with a digital camera built in. It has 3.1 Mega pixels. I find that there are so many things I would like to get a picture of while hunting and I always end up spooking them when I try to get my camera out. Has anybody tried this or have any thoughts about it. Thanks Doc

Well I didn't have to buy them, came home last night and the girlfriend had bought them for me and they were on the counter!!

The picture quality is actually pretty impressive and the bino's see pretty clear and not bad in low light. Don't think I would want to do alot of glassing with them, but for what I want them for they seem alright. My only complaint is that The battery life is going to be pretty low. It takes 2 AAA batteries.
Any ideas on rechargeables that have a good strong charge! I fiqure it will save me in the long run to buy a really good pair of rechargeables(or more) than to be buying batteries every couple of days! Well I will keep trying them and maybe post some pics from it in the photo section when I get a chance!

I know some of the guys in here have captureviews and similar type camera/bino combos. Have never used them myself.

I use rechargeable energizer nimh AAA batteries in my minolta 35mm camera and was using the AA's in my stealth cam before it finally bit the dust, also use the energizer rechargeables AA's in our 2 way radios and our old hp digital camera. They last pretty well for me.

I had a pair but sold them to maddhunter (dwin) on here. PM him and ask him what he thinks. I thought the pictures were decent especially being a dual unit.
