Excellent binoculars -- at a low price
By Theodore Kobernick
We bought these binoculars as a gift for friends. Before giving them, I tried them out. They have wonderful optics and nice armor. Our standards of comparison were my wife's Waterproof Elites and my Leicas, both of which were almost the best binoculars available a few years ago. Ours are roof prisms, so are more compact and lighter than these porros. Otherwise, the only advantages ours have is the incredibly close focus on my wife's binoculars. Any optical superiority did not show up in our comparison, which was made on a bright day. It's really wonderful how affordable great optics have become: each of our binoculars cost nine times the price these binoculars. Of course, we do not know how well these Bushnells will hold up under use. But as far as we can see, these are a real winner. If you can afford these, don't get a cheaper pair.

Quality Optics and Value
By David K. Crabtree
This was one of two pairs of waterproof binoculars we bought for a recent Alaskan cruise. I like the porro prisim design and was happy with my Bushnell 10 X 50 wide angles. So when I saw these at the price offered I felt confident with ordering sight unseen. Delivery was as advertised and packing great. Of course I had to compare them with the 10 x 50's so I took both outside to view a nearby hill. Other than the obvious differences in power 8x vs 10x, and light gathering ability 42mm vs 50mm I found the optics clear with no noticable distortion on the edges, no light flares or reflections. They are comfortable and easy to carry. I did buy a leather case from Cabellas as the flimsy one that came with it provides only the most minimum of protection.These will compare nicely with Braska and easily with pairs costing twice as much. Bushnell produces a fine product at a good price. On sale...its a great value. Just remember what you are paying for them, and that they are not at the Zeiss or Canon level.

By Writerdog
I bought this for birding and general use, after a recommendation from a California Park Ranger. I'm generally pleased--bright optics with crisp resolution, quick focusing, rugged construction. They are definitely worth the money. My only disappointment is that these binoculars are a bit on the heavy side.
