 Worthless, despite the high CR rating December 9, 2007
16 out of 20 found this review helpful
I bought this as a gift because it had been rated highly by Consumer Reports. I was terribly disappointed. They look, feel, and perform like a child's toy. The eyepieces are tiny, so it's hard to even get them to line up with your eyes; the field of view is miniscule, the image is muddy and incredibly dim. We returned them and purchased a pair of Nikan Action 8x40 for a similar price, and were delighted.
If you are considering these because of price, look at the Nikon Action 8x40 -- crisp and bright, and similarly priced. If you must have something pocket-sized, consider the Nikon Travelite V series. The image is nowhere near the Nikon Action 8x40 mentioned above, but it's still superior to this one. Also the eyepieces are much wider. Nevertheless for birding etc, I would hesitate to reccomend any of the pocket binoculars. You're much betetr off with a full-size, esp. a (relatively) light and cheap one such as the Nikon Action 8x40.

This product magnifies objects as much as much larger sets and provides a clear, sharp image. I was very pleased with it during a recent football game in a very large stadium.

I bought these binoculars based on the previous reviews and I'm glad I did. I will be using them primarily to hunt elk and deer in northern New Mexico. I wear glasses and these are very easy to use with my glasses and the size is great especially when out on the trail.

I don't think I have ever been more disappointed with any product. I bought these for a recent trip, and found them to be almost unusable. Granted, I am not a very experienced user of binoculars. However, I'm not sure you should have to be experienced. Should be pretty simple right? Look through them, maybe focus as needed, and stuff that is far away looks bigger right? Not with these. So many adjustments, with no adequate explanation of what the adjustements are for, or how to make them. Something about having to adjust the left eye before focusing both together. Instructions were a joke. Even when I was able to get them properly focused, I found them to be so uncomfortable, that I could barely see through them. HORRIBLE!!! Sold them immediately.
Small but powerful. July 20, 2007

After researching binoculars, I chose this one. Easy to use and very clear and sharp images. The size is small and fits in the palms of your hands. Simply adjust focus on left eye and then do the right eye. Good close up on the moon.
