SAD
by John Novak from Kingman Arizona
Internal timer with no controls? No 'OFF' switch. Turn it and take pics...great. As long as you keep taking pics all is well.If you loose track of the 2 minute window..it turns off! RATS No way to extend the 2 minutes? Looking thru binocs you have no hint (is the camera on or off?) PROBLEMS:1) Internal timer-that can be fixed with a firmware download but if you extend the timer to

My boyfriend also bought one and we enjoy taking pictures together and comparing. A good

by David Stone from Berkeley, CA USA
Thank goodness I [paid less], although I don't like throwing away any amount of money. Oh Capture View, how do I dislike thee? Let me count the ways:1. Binocs cannot be adjusted for someone like me with fairly close eye spacing--camera is in the way, so I cannot fuse left/right images. Duh!!2. The on/off/shutter buttons are prominent and thus easy to accidentally press...of course this is why the [people] who designed
