Yep i got one. In low light they are really not good. In fact I don't use mine anymore. I have thought about selling them if you want.

On those Meade capture view bino's.
I have read a lot about them and generally it is not favorable.
I was interested in the alternate brand for a similar price from a company in the UK I think. Magix or Magipix or something like that. Saw someone post that Wally World had them about 2 months ago. They sounded better and they were supposed to be around 60 bucks.
I saw some others made by Pentax I think at an electronics store for around 300 bucks. I guess you will get what you pay for on these things.
Shop around. Good luck, and please post your feedback.

I bought a pair of meade's and can't get any thing out of them, they had a test picture on them when I down loaded, and I had also taken some good pictures of a buck but it wasn,t there. I don't know if its me or what. I'll try some more, then send them back to Cabela's if I can't get them to work.

My wife got me a pair of the Meade's for Christmas and I've played with them a little. There has to be alot of light or the pictures won't turn out at all. Some of the pictures are ok, while others are very blurry. The pictures are poor at best. They might be ok for viewing on your pc but you wouldn't want to print them.

Long story short, the idea is great but I think they will be better in a couple years after the technology has improved. I'm sending mine back to Cabelas.
