From the Manufacturer
Camera and binoculars in one ... the compact CaptureView 8x30 1.3 is the perfect harmony of function and style. The precision-ground and polished 30mm objective lenses of the binocular and the 1.3 megapixel digital camera produce bright images, perfect for viewing and imaging both indoors and out. Increases in image storage capacity is possible with optional SD memory cards. Great for yourself or as a gift for school sports, concerts, and general sight-seeing. The compact size and lower weight of the CaptureView 1.3 also lends itself to critical inspection and investigation work with only a mild sacrifice in image resolution over the CaptureView 8x42 2.0D.
