Bushnell 12 x 50mm Powerview Wide-Angle Binoculars, 01/10/2010
By BassFisher, Pittston, PA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Hello,
I am extremely happy to add these fine binoculars to my equipment. Without a doubt they are the best pair of binoculars I have ever purchased both regarding their performance and excellent price.

I was looking for a new stronger pair of binoculars for spotting and watching waterfowl and these more than satisfied my needs. I already have an older pair of Bushnell binoculars that I purchased back in the '80's that still work excellent. This pair of new 12 X 50mm Wide Angle Binoculars allowed me to watch many species of waterfowl up so close, I felt I was on top of them. They are very well made, clear, and focus extremely well and fast. I had no trouble determining fine details on any of the waterfowl species I observed. I was also able to see fish under water from a good distance and even insects floating on the surface of the water. With that, I will definitely use these for fly fishing and observing rising trout from quite a distance away on the stream bank.

I am sure I will get many years of use from these binoculars as I still do from my older Bushnell pair. I would highly recommend these binoculars to anyone for sports, wildlife, or any other use.

I would buy another pair of these and give them as a gift in a heartbeat. I hope they are available for a long time.

Great buy!

the binoculars did not arrive in very good condition, they appeared bent but I think they were not assembled correctly. With some gentle persuasion we managed to straighten the lense and they seem to be functioning fine.

By an anonymous customer, Missouri
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We purchased these binoculars as a Christmas gift for our 9 year old grandson to use deer hunting with his grandfather. These binoculars far surpassed our expectations. They are as good as our old ones we purchased decades ago for less money. They are also better than a pair we recently purchased at Cabela's for more money! I would highly recommend these for the money and ease of use. Would be great for window sill birdwatching!

My Dad wanted binoculars to watch the birds, deer, and other creatures in the field across the street from his house. This pair was perfect. It allowed him to see more detail on the animals than his old pair (this pair is stronger). He said everything is clear, crisp, and bright.

I only had one problem with the strap in that it was difficult to attach it to the binocs. As to the clarity, ease of use, it excels.

I have wanted a decent pair of binoculars for a while now. I read about a zillion reviews and decided on these because I tend to be lets say, frugal. These are more than decent, they are great. Now I have to keep an eye that my son doesn't "borrow' them for hunting.
The case is pretty nice too.

These binoculars are an excellent value for the money. They give amazing detail from a long distance. I took them on an American bald eagle boat tour and was awed by both the bird and the view I got using these binoculars. I highly recommend them.

Difficult to focus, needs longer relief for eyeglass wearers and view could be clearer. Good buy at $50.00.

Binoculars are fair for the price. The neck strap was cheap junk and the carry case was borderline on being too small. I would still buy them again.

Packed poorly and the words "unbelievable" came out we it fell apart coming out of the box on father's day. When lens cap came off one lens fell out. Adjustment rubber fell of as glue seemed dried out and not good. Eye piece fell off.

Good binoculars for bird watching., 04/20/2008
By booknutzz, Colorado Springs, CO
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I like this product but not so much the lever action focusing. I much prefer the nob type of focusing. They perform well and are great for distant viewing but not for viewing any birds closer than 20 feet. Once you get the viewing adjusted for your eyes, they are not too bad and can focus quickly. Good for bird watching.

Bought 2 pair for nephews, who are Scouts. I tried them first and are fantastic. Kids will love them when camping or just looking looking out their back windows at wild animals.
