Default binocular/digital camera

I am thinking of buying a pair of binoculars that have a digital camera in them. Anybody here have one of these or heard anything about the quality.

I know of only one because that's the only ad I've seen for them. Here's some info.
The Pentax Digibino DB-100
They say that it's the first camera/bino combo.(That's why no other ads.)
7x37 magnification
Fast focus even when using telephoto settings (whatever fast means)
Focusing range from 6.6 ft. to infinity
As a digital camera it has 16 magabytes of internal memory, 800,000 pixels on images recorded in JPEG format.
It's capable of shooting up to 10 frames, at 5 frames per second (that's pretty fast)
It has through-the-lens center-weighted metering.
It comes with connections for PC for image downloads.

I tried to copy and paste a photo of it, but can't for some reason. You can find it @ pentax.com, under cameras.

Good luck.

I have never used or seen but people I have heard with them are not happy with photo quality.

I just bought one from www.gartsports.com, looks pretty cool. Some are not very good, but they do have some really good ones... i will let you know how mine turns out. If you want to look at them, go to the site above and search for binocular, then go to digital binoculars. They have 4-5 different models i believe.
Would be a great thing to take hunting/scouting.

I found another one for you to investigate. It's in the Bass Pro cat.. It's on page 603 of the 2004 Master catalog. Or you can find it at basspro.com I would never buy it myself because it starts with "Simmons".
Anyway, there it is.
Good luck.
