Binoculars Camera

[Ilivetogo]

I save Coke codes and get points for them that I can use to "buy" stuff. One of the items they're offering right now is a Binoculars Camera. Since there was no "brand name" listed on the Coke site, I wrote and asked for it. I received an e-mail back saying there was NO BRAND associated with this product (??) but they sent me all the stats on it.

Would anyone know if this product would be worth having, if not for anything else but some fun trying it? It wouldn't cost me anything, so that's not really an issue. I'm kinda thinking it would be neat since we may go on a cruise this summer to New England/Canada and it might be fun to play with there.

I'm just looking for some of you "smart guys's" opinions as to what would be good and bad about this thing. THANKS!!!

You're looking at a 0.3 megapixel sensor, probably not sufficient even for respectable 4x6 prints and forget about larger sizes.
