Great set of binoculars!
I just got these binoculars and I love them! They are not too heavy (only about 3 pounds) and work very well! I got rained on earlier this week when I used them and so far, no problems!! They're a good price as well, I highly recommend! ... Read more

Who Needs Binoculars Like These?
Not everyone needs a high quality set of binoculars like these. For most people, most of the time, a little set of 8x25 binoculars for about a hundred dollars is sufficient and more easily carried around. The best set of binoculars you can have are the ones you have with you when you want them! Compact size is a big plus; there is no excuse to leave them home when the binocs easily fit in a small pocket. But some people will want more.

For those who want a very good set of binoculars (are willing to pay and carry more) these Pentaxs are a good choice. These are very high quality roof prism binocs. Resolution and color are very good and they gather plenty of light with their 42 mm objective lenses. What you get for your money (as oppossed to a nice pair of 8x25s) is truly a brighter image, especially good for birders at dusk and dawn and while looking into shady trees and at small birds silhouetted against the sky. These are the classic cases in which little or no detail can be seen with small binocs. In such cases the larger objective lenses pay for themselves in rich detail. However, you could get the same quality images for less money by going to a binocular with porro prisms. These can do everything that roof prisms can and do it for less money. Still--the porro prism models are physically larger, heavier.

So, who are these Pentax 8x42 roof prism binoculars for? For people who really want a binocular that will gather enough light to pierce the shadows, yet want something a little more compact than you can get with a similar porro prism model. (IF you don't know the differences between porro and roof prisms, you're not ready to choose moderately expensive binoculars. Do some research first!).
Overall, these Pentax binocs provide very high quality images at moderate size and weight. A very nice set of binoculars for the person who can justify the higher price. Phase coated too. They can't match the best binocs (these Pentaxs are priced hundreds of dollars less than the best), but they are very close! ... Read more

Best buy for the time being..
I bought my Pentax digibino in Istanbul-Turkey, it is quite nice and user friendly equipment. I rated it with 4 stars,as it needs external memory slot and more powerful lenses to get all five (at least 10x optical zoom). Pentax has the quality as expected,
battery life is a bit short so it is better to use with 1800-2000 mA rechargable Ni-Mh or Li-ion batteries.. It is being sold about 350$ (inc. VAT), but I bought mine for 220$ that is very good buy thanks to sellers favour..It is not a toy as some comments marked it out if you check its prices comperatively with the normal digital cameras with 7x optical zoom..Thanks to PENTAX for not letting me to buy cheaper versions of similar kind of cameras by producing well designed Digibino.

just an expensive toy
The concept of digital binoculars is exciting. Unfortunately, the ones that have been produced so far are nothing more than expensive toys. You might as well tape together the cheapest binoculars and cheapest digital camera you can find. Most of the digital binoculars on the market are clearly toys, but this model has the appearance that it might be different. It's not. Look at the tiny lens in the center. Does it look like it would produce good photos of distant objects?

Terrific for birders!
I bought the DigiBino mainly to use while birdwatching, and it's ideal for that purpose. I'm very pleased with it. The built-in digital camera is a solid middle-of-the-road digicam, with a good memory capacity (100 shots at best quality), and the automatically adjusting shutter speed lets me take pictures more quickly with less fussing. I'm not a photographer, so I like all of the automatic features built into the camera. The zoom is excellent. And with the camera off, the DigiBino works just fine as a medium-end pair of binoculars.

Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't have any difficulty adjusting the width of the eyepieces or the focal settings. The digital menus and settings are clear and easy to use. The DigiBino is USB-enabled, and I installed it on my computer with no trouble or fuss at all. It took about five minutes and it was up and running. It's easy to get the images off the camera onto the hard drive to save and edit them, too.

I think the Digibino is an all-around good value -- I would definitely recommend it for someone who enjoys birdwatching and would like to take pictures of the birds they see, but who is not a serious photography buff and doesn't want the expense and hassle of buying and carrying a separate digital camera. I love mine!

love the digibino DB 100
well having read a couple bad reviews on this camera...i decided to buy it...i trust pentax. turns out that it was exactly what i was looking for...im really impressed with it. only thing i dislike is the soft case...it should be a more durable material to protect the camera. so all you folks...if you have doubts about it....go for it....i love mine!!

This item really "is bad"
Bought this for my wife, an avid bird watcher. She was shocked at the poor quality compared to the high price to say the least! First, .8 mega pixels "is bad". Next 3X is even worse than the low megapixels. And worst. There is no way to adjust the distance between the eye pieces, therefore, if you are more than 10 years old you can't see through the thing. So it is back in the box and will probably never be used again. This item would be 5 stars if it were "a lot less than I paid for it." It is a yard sale item. Best price and best service on Amazon as always. ... Read more
