BushnellPowerView 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

There are times when you just want to see farther away then normal with Binoculars. 12x is usually the nicest view for biggest magnification needed for everyday adventures. 16x magnification is really pushing the limit on if you can hold them steady enough for a good view. At the low price it is easy to take the leap and try.These are quite nice because you seeing objects very far away, and see what you didn't know was there... the sharpness may not agree with some but to me it is quite amazing, License Plate numbers and signs are easy to read. As you see further away some views may not be considered as sharp. But they are very good views. I am very happy this new magnification to my collection.I would never recommend binocualars over 12x magnification. In daylight holding them steady, the problem with higher magnification, is quite possible if you grew up around binoculars so you know how to hold them. Most by 8x or 10. Some love 12x. Remember the more magnification the less of a field of view you will see. It gets very narrow past 12x. These are not good for finding birds, enjoying scenery or the Night Sky.Bushnell is a trusted brand name. All their binoculars have great enough views for all but the rich and elite. You could get the perfect view with buying a pair for over 1000 dollars I never really saw a real purpose for the perfect look. I love the cheaper almost perfect look.Remember 8X and 10X is all you really need to have a very good day.

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.

Use these from time to time. Do as they are intended to do. Good value.

Perfect. strong and clear. and what a great price. I don't know why somebody would spend hundreds of dollars more.

We got these for our kiddos for wildlife viewing while camping. Well worth the money, and was a great gift. Well made and they work surprisingly well. Came with a carry case and neck lanyard to go onto the binoculars to prevent drops. I’m super happy with the quality of viewing.

Great field of View.

Good fit in hand. Spotting wildlife is easy and easy to use

Power view 10x25. Cheap and you get what you pay for. Optics quality is OK, but terrible tunnel vision for eyeglass wearers due to the short eye relief (<10mm). Focal range is poor, does not focus closer than 10 or 15 m. I'm buying this size for light weight pocket sized walking around binoculars.... a good choice is Olympus 8x25 WP 2. Bushnell has several options below $100 also. Also Carson 8x26mm. Pentax AD 8x25 is wonderful, but 4 x the cost of this Bushnell.
