The Magellan 8x42's, while slightly heavy, are sturdy and compact for the price. My pair had excellent alignment, a firm focus control and a sharp, bright image with minimal distortion. The two quality issues I encountered were minimal eye relief (4...

Compact size - fits in the palm of your hand- and easy to use for zoom and distance focus. The additional close-up facility is very useful to see full detail of plants etc. - you need to extend the barrel of the scope to use this facility. Only...

Pro's = Small, compact, Lightweight, easy to use Con's = Hard to view items as eye peices are so small, very tricky to keep still as they are so light weight and small

I found these binoculars too fiddly and dull to use constantly. OK to drop in your pocket but get the full size binoculars if you want to see the big picture

Product is functional only - the view achieved using them is only marginally better than the naked eye.

Answer to the Title Question: the one that you have onhand. \n \nI like to carry "optics" when I travel (touring), when I go out into the wild (for sights and birding), and I would always have some optics on me when I go tactical (like on my rifle,...

I got these binoculars because we have been having problems with people lurking around our house. Plus my girlfriend is newsy. Also to watch my child while he plays on the basketball courts. Well the first thing i noticed is the + & - for the right...

Being an avid bird watcher, I am always looking for new ways to refine my hobby. Carson's BinoArmor saves me a tremendous amount of time when I am out in the field. I no longer have to bother with taking the time to take off my lens caps on my...

I've owned a variety of binoculars including several zoom models, and these were by far the worst. The set I got could not focus clearly on either eye even at minimum zoom, and just plain horrible when zoomed even 20x. I'm not talking about stability...

"I would also agree that the strap does really suck. Best Buy does sell straps for their cameras and such (such as SKU #8900166), so you might want to consider picking up one of those up, too. Other than that, the set is great! Comes with a rugged...

Works well. Batteries not included. Special type needed. I was slightly dissapointed on the threaded (unscrewing) of the focus in the rear. I think a smoother & more stable method would be better. Expensive product but works well.

I love these binoculars. As soon as I got them I went out and bought the battery and a memory card for it. Then I took a walk through the park and shot some pictures with it. They are not crystal sharp pictures, but they're not bad either. For the fun...

This set of binoculars is a great value for the money. Through the use of the zoom it is easier to locate an object and magnify it to a very large size. Although they are large it is necessary to gather the amount of light necessary to make the objects...

This K-M best seller is a good compromise between the low end and the really high end models by Zeiss, Fujinon, and Nikon. Feels real good,although the porro prism design is not a small lightweight model,if you are seeking same. Good rubber...

[...] These binoculars are great for keeping in the glove compartment. Next time you go to the beach or a sporting event, they will be available and handy. 6-power is great for dual-duty use as opera glasses and use as field glasses at a football game....

These binoculars do provide you with a longer, better view of details for birding at mid-range. However, they lack clarity at far distances. For this reason I would recommend the 10X over the 8X magnification.It is a bit annoying that the image jumps...

Bought this for the cheap seats at a U2 concert, and I'm not disappointed. They are compact, fit nicely on my belt, and were not in the way while trying to cram out of the arena. Image was fairly bright considering the low light at the concert. The...

I have always had trouble holding binoculars steady. The image stabilization really helps clear the image. They are reasonably light weight so holding them at football games isn't a problem.

I received the Celestron Outland 8x21 compact binoculars today from Amazon. I give you here my first impressions. The optics are about average or a little better for inexpensive binoculars ($35). The parallax alignment seems to be good. The diopter...

The night owl night odyssey is one of the best out there in my opinion it works like magic and it is easy to use. It's waterproof so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. When you turn the infared illuminator on, it's like there is a huge flash...

Years ago I bought a pair of these after a rave review in a UK birding magazine. I wanted a pair of bins with a close focus and at that time few quality binoculars focussed closer than 4m. I used them for a few months but found I preferred my cheap...

These binocs are made in China and work pretty well. While not the same quality or build and optics as say the Fujinons are they are also hundreds of dollars cheaper. Exit pupil is 7mm and eye distance is 22mm so they are good for people who were...
