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.

 Perfect Fit July 25, 2010
Troy L. Williams (Graham, NC)
Product arrived as described, absolute Best pair of Binoculars for my line of work. Came with carrying case and an attached small string. Fits perfect in my vest pocket and always have close at hand. Great Deal Everyone
 Convenient and Inexpensive Binocular July 23, 2010
Wellington Su (San Diego, CA United States)
Convenient and inexpensive for carrying in the pocket. I am more used to the larger poroprism type. The double hinge in the middle takes a little time to get used to it.
Excellent for My Limited Purposes July 12, 2010
John J. Stahl (Middletown, NJ)
I bought these glasses in order to have a lightweight, easy-to-carry option to use at the race track. They are excellent for this purpose. From the grandstand I can clearly see the horses' numbers on the backstretch, a distance of about 500 yards.
Bushnell Powerview 8x21 July 7, 2010
Timothy Duffy (Greater Philadelphia Region)
I purchased two of these because the price was right. I have higher-quality, more expensive binoculars and these stack up quite nicely. I was used to very large binoculars, and upon delivery thought these would be too small and compact to deliver quality results. I was wrong. I purchased these for boating and other full-light conditions and have been very impressed with the quality. If I lost my original pair, I would purchase again immediately.
 Quite mediocre July 3, 2010
Will (Texas)
This are great to give to your kids, and that's pretty much it. I ordered one pair of these and one pair of the Tasco binoculars of the same size. The Tascos are better.
In fact, the first pair of these I ordered I had to send back because the collimation was completely off. So bad that even with adjustment they couldn't be fixed.
So the new pair came in today and they have problems, but I'll keep them. The focal points of the lenses vary--that is, the bottom of the scene will be in focus while the top won't be. I have to constantly refocus and only the exact center of the view is in focus at any one time.
If you must go with binoculars this cheap, go with the Tascos; the ones I got at least were much clearer and better.
The real problem with these ultra cheap binoculars is their lack of quality control and their lack of durability. I would suggest you throw these in the back of your truck as "beaters" but they simply will not stand up to any bouncing, dropping, or banging around. The plastic parts barely fit together and work as is; any rough treatment will render them useless.
Binoculars--unless used as toys--are precision instruments. There is unfortunately no way to make them cheaply and still have them serve the function for which they were intended. These Bushnells are fine for the most basic of tasks, but they are not pleasurable nor rewarding to use.
