Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image. Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view. Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. | | | Features: | |

 Excellent ValueSep 01, 2010
This is actually the first pair of binoculars I've purchased. We always had a pair when I was a kid when we would go on hiking trips, but that's as far as my knowledge of binoculars goes.
That said, these seem like a great pair of binoculars. I decided on these based on the small size and great reviews. I can throw these in my backpack and they're so light I probably won't even know that they're there. They feel well made. The attached cord seems a bit thin, but that isn't anything I really care about.
I was surprised at how inexpensive these are, yet the quality appears to be excellent. They also include a carrying pouch so that you won't scratch the lenses.
Very helpful.Aug 27, 2010
Ordered these binoculars for myself and a friend to take when we went to see Cats. Although our seats turned out to be fairly close to the stage, we were happy to have the binoculars to see the fantastic makeup jobs. We had thought about opera glasses but were very happy with our choice.
 Great lightweight binocularsAug 21, 2010
We purchased these for wildlife viewing. The magnification was sufficient to see many of the things I wanted to see, including animals at a distance when safety and respect for the animals would not permit getting closer. Because they are so lightweight, I was able to watch for more extended periods. I am happy with the product.

 DisapointmentAug 18, 2010
You get what you pay for
This unit is very difficult to use, and is not worth the money
I recommend this unitBushnell Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars (Black)
Easier to use, and better vision through lenses

Powerful Little BinocularsAug 08, 2010
We tested 8 sets of compact binoculars before we decided on these. We bought 100 pairs of the Bushnell Powerview 8x21 binoculars as gifts for a group that we are hosting on an upcoming Alaska Cruise where we hope to spot whales and other wildlife. I have a much more expensive larger pair of binoculars that I will also take with me, but these are perfect for taking on excursions due to their small size (portability) and the amazing image quality. AND, you just can't beat the price.
