Where can I purchase/download drivers for my Bushnell 111025 Binoculars w/ digital camera?
I have tried Bushnell’s website and scoured the internet and every link I come across is dead. I purchased them a few weeks ago off Craigslist and the seller did not have the driver disc.

If you happen to have the drivers please email them to me at starbucksguy76@yahoo.com

Have you posted a similar request on CL?

Any stores online or otherwise sell this model? Or if they sell Bushnell I would contact them and see if they can help!!!

Good luck starbucksguy.

Are the bushnell 10×25 binocular digital camera any good for air show and nfl football games?

Other than for the fact that they are binocular, not really. You would do far better with a digital SLR and a lens of about 70x300mm zoom. The 25 is a very narrow window of view and a 10×50 is quite heavy. I have a 7x15x50 zoom pair I use at air shows and a Pentax SLR with 2 lenses, a 18×55 and a 75×400 and covered the Dayton international air show and have many terrific shots of the Raptor in particular and of the “Heritage Flight” consisting of a P51, F16 and the F22 together.

The binoculars are OK, not great, but OK for football and air-shows. The camera does not have a 10X lens, though. What you see zoomed in through the binoculars is not what you will get when you take a digital pic. You’ll just get a plain digital pic. with a “1X” magnification. Also… the resolution is not as good as most other digital cameras on the market.

Does anyone have the binoculars that are also a digital camera?
I put this under outdoor stuff because I’d like to know if they work well when scoping in animals and taking pictures of them. I’m thinking of getting one of the Bushnell middle make/models.

Binoculars that have an integrated digital camera are great, especially because you can take automatic snapshots with great zoom. But I wouldn’t recommend their use unless you don’t care about the image quality. In my case, I would rather get a digital camera with good integrated glass, such as the Panasonic FZ50, that has a 12x zoom with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
BUT, if you don’t really care much about image quality, and if you are in a tight budget, then I would recommend the following Bushnell binocular:

This binocular has a 2.1 MP integrated digital camera. If 2.1 megapixels are enough for you, then go for this model.

I do not own this binocular, so I don’t know the specifics, but I’ve read the reviews and it looks good.

Hope this helps.

Looking to get binoculars to take digital photos…?
Hi. I am eligible to receive an award at work, and one of the prizes I can choose from is a Bushnell Imageview Binoculars. I was looking at the Bushnell website to find out how many megapixels the camera has but it only says “VGA megapixel still pictures.” What does this mean….? How do I know how many megapixels the binocular camera has? Thanks.

“How do I know how many megapixels the binocular camera has?” Sorry to say, but the binocular camera probably does not even have 1 megapixel!!

The term VGA is often used to refer to a resolution of 640×480, regardless of the hardware that produces the picture.

640×480 resolution is equal to 307,200 pixels (less than 1/2 a mega-pixel). This is close to the image quality of a standard definition TV. 500,000 pixels would be about 1/2 a mega-pixel.

This kind of resolution (640×480) is good for emails because the file size is small. You could make small prints but enlargements would look very coarse.

You should not use a camera with less than 2 mega-pixels.

I’m having a very hard time choosing my award for my service anniversary at work… in case you are wondering where this off-the-wall question came from, lol.
There are others but I’ve narrowed it down to these. We have a regular grill and a propane grill but no smoker. We also have a coffee grinder but not one this nice.
Thank you B’s momma for the camera info; I have never heard of it.

The telescope – it will be great for your boys and I wouldn’t personally ever just buy one on a whim…

I don’t like smoked foods and a coffee grinder doesn’t sound like a good work anniversary gift (plus you already have one but I know you like coffee…). I have no use for binoculars and the camera is only 5MP and won’t take the best pictures.
