I purchased a cheaper pair of unknown binoculars at Big 5 before buying these. These Bushnell binoculars work perfectly!! Images are super clear especially for concerts at night (even from the lawn!!). from Amazon.com Never had a problem with Bushnell, but could not get an image with these, and had to return them. from Amazon.com I got the Bushnell 8x21 as a compact choice for a trip to England. I had my eye on (no pun intended) a more expensive one, but this was well reviewed and now I know why. from Amazon.com For that they are just fine. I won't say that they are as clear as my 10X50s but they didn't cost near as much either. I have had pretty good luck with Bushnell and ANY problem that I have ever had was taken care of promptly. You might find better quality but twice the quality will run you 10 times the price! from Amazon.com But there are certain specific types of uses that make this pair less than ideal. As long as you know what you need it for, this may meet your need at a great price. Bushnell is known for quality and is a good brand overall. These binoculars also have some nice included features that you normally get at a much higher price range. from Amazon.com I purchased this hoping to get a compact, easily "pocketable" yet useful binocular, and I am more than satisfied with the Bushnell Powerview 12x25. These are impressive. from Amazon.com Was using 7 X 25 Bushnells to watch the birds at the bird feeder. treated myself to these 8 X 30 Bushnells and just a world of difference. from Amazon.com I was sharing them throughout the whole performance, and I did not have any problem at all with the focus; they were in focus all the time. I did not know much about binoculars, so I did some research online before buying. I found out Bushnell was a very reliable brand, and the price of these on Amazon is just great ($19.99 while I am writing this review). I wear glasses, so I have to take them off to use them properly; but that is just fine with me. from Amazon.com A gift for my 10-year old birdwatching granddaughter. She was delighted. I would have preferred a lower magnification; 12x is too much for extended viewing, and 6x or 8x more generally usable. The pair was well made, very good value. from Amazon.com That's why this item has received such differing ratings here, from five stars to one star. So you have two choices -- gamble $20 that these will work when you get them, or just go ahead and spend more money in the first place and buy something that is sure to work. I spent about twice the price of these for a pair of Bushnell Powerview 12x25 Porro Prism Binoculars. I took a chance going with Bushnell again, but the new pair works well, and has a contoured shape that provides a secure, comfortable grip. from Amazon.com
