Bushnell PowerView 2 Binoculars, High-Definition Binoculars with Multi-Coated Lenses, Durable Aluminum Alloy Chassis, Wide Field of View, Ideal for Wildlife Observation, Hiking and Sporting Events

Probably THE best binoculars for the money out there. So good I immediately ordered a second pair for my boat. Images are bright and razor sharp when focus and diopter are properly set beforehand. 20x MIGHT be a little too much magnification for some people, so consider whether or not you actually need that much magnification. To put it in perspective, with these binoculars I can tell the difference between a swallow and a sparrow, in flight, at a quarter-mile distance. They feel very solid and well-made, too. Not cheap feeling or flimsy. The carrying case is sorta cheap feeling, but I wasn’t planning on using it anyway. The neoprene neck strap is good.

Awsome binos

Good product you can see clearly in a long distance

not bad but need as mentioned in other reviews you need a stand for it otherwise it’s a bit hard to see anything because of the zoom, purchased it on sale

These are excellent binoculars and a great value for the price (I got mine for about $55). I had previously purchased a chinese knockoff from Amazon which claimed the exact same specifications but I was not happy with the knockoff's actual magnification. They were described as 20x but didn't look any different than my old 7x Bushnell. The new 20x50 Bushnell are EXACTLY as described and images are much bigger and appear more twice as close. There is a little trick where you can actually determine approximate magnification -- set the binoculars on a light source (white screen on cell phone) and measure the WHITE dot/circle that you see on the eyepiece (lens). Then divide the Objective lens (in this 50mm) by the measured dot/circle (about 2 to 2.5mm), 50 / 2.5 = 20. That is the magnification. In the case of the BUSHNELL binoculars, my 7x35 had a "dot" of 5mm (35/5=7x) and my 20x50 had a dot of 2.5mm (50/2.5=20). But my chinese knockoff (20x52 claimed) had a dot of 7mm (52/7~7.5x) so way less magnification than 20x claimed.

For the price these are great. The images attached to this review are of Toronto Canada from the USA about 45 miles away across Lake Ontario! The only real step up from these are thev gigantic heavy Celestion $250 20x80 binoculars that have larger pupil lenses and better optical coatings, that require a tripod. I recommend while viewing through these binoculars, rest them in from of you on the back of a chair on a towel, since a still image at these magnifications is far, far superior than hand held. Only complaint, I wish the wishbone that holds both eyecups was made of metal instead of plastic that flexes which causes focus issues if you press to your face to hard. At this price these don't have coatings to prevent fog so if you're bringing them outside to humid summer air from being stored in the house air conditioned cold air you may get condensation on the outside of the lenses that won't stop condensing on until the lenses warm up. These aren't for everybody, they're GREAT for magnification but at the sacrifice of some sharpness and contrast. Our $35 Bushnell 10x50 binoculars also from Amazon are much easier to view with glasses on, and have superior sharpness and contrast!

Good quality product I like it..light and good zoom

These are real 20X, if you are tired of buying 20X and returning them because they're really 10X than you will be set. You can't beat them for the price. The glass is not as clear as L Pold but they don't cost 10 times as much either.
