I have had opportunity to use three different models of binoculars with built in cameras and from my experience it is true that they take a picture, but the quality of the pictures range somewhere between poor and useless. In most cases you can barely print the photos larger than 4x6.

In my humble opinion you would be much better served by purchasing an inexpensive "Point & shoot" digital camera that has a 10x to 20x optical zoom lens.

Nikon, Canon, Pentax & Kodak all offer some really nice "point& shoot" digitals with 10x to 25x optical zoom lenses that start out at about $120. Those cameras are very user friendly and they will produce an image quality that you could easily blow up to qualtiy 8x10 prints.

I think that a 10 x 25 binocular would be useless for photography - not enough light gathering power and the tele power is fixed at 10 times. The poster above recommended an low cost camera with an optical zoom lens. I agree with that recomendation.

10 x 25 => 10 power by 25 mm diameter objective lens. An officer's binocular is about 8 x 50. Its brightness is roungly 50/8 or a little over 6. Use "6" as a standard for comparison. The 10x25 brightness is 25/10 or 2.5. This thing is dim. Furthermore, you won't be able to hand hold a shot at 10x magnification. A very stiff tripod is needed to steady the shot. Also, the fastest shutter speed you can get is needed. The low light of the 10 x 25 binocular will not provide a fast shutter speed.

A good camera with zoom provides much more light gathering power measured by its f/stop number; The lower the number, the greater its light gathering power. A zoom lens should be marked with two f/stop ratings, for example f/2.8 - f/5.8. The largest ratio, f/2.8 is the opening at the lowest end of the zoom range and the smaller ratio, f/5.8, would be the opening at the high end of the zoom range. Look at the Canon Power Shot series. These cameras have some of the widest openings at full zoom. However some other brands have sensors with better dynamic range of exposure.
