While comparing items in the store where I eventually purchased these binoculars, I noticed two things that immediately set these pair from the rest. The "InstaFocus" one-finger focus was excellent and dead on. Also the ability to track moving objects far exceeded a pair of Tasco's I demoed. The Falcons seem to stay in focus, without needing adjustment, for considerably varying distances.

I used the binoculars at a racetrack and professional football game (not having the BEST seats) and could easily make out names, etc. Great clarity, decent power, excellent focus make these a great purchase.

There is really no need to get binoculars that cost 5 times (or more) for casual use. These work just fine and I've owned one for a couple of years. If you get any higher magnification than 10X, they are difficult to handhold - so 7X is really the sweet spot as far as magnification goes. The other number refers to the exit aperture (bigger the number - more light gets into the binocular). These also work quite well in darker situations - letting in plenty of light and giving you a bright image. I've noted small differences when compared with an Olympus that cost about 8 times more - but really, for their price, these can't be beat..

The lenses are also coated and combined with a prism system (instead of mirrors), makes for sharper images.

Only con is that this type of binocular is not pocket sized. However, its pretty comfortable to carry on your neck (neckstrap)

For the reviewer who claimed that these were worse than toy plastic binoculars - well - just one word comes to my mind "clueless". They either had sphagetti on their lenses or were looking at birds through the wrong end of the binocular...

I find the fast focus on this item to be very useful. Product is not like the old days but at the price I paid it was a bargain. It's just what I wanted, and I'm quite pleased.

This is my second pair in the last year, one for my wife, and then me, my old ones are the same style and brand, but just a lot older, so I wanted to replace them.
What can I say except, for the price, you get a pretty good pair of binoculars, and these, they're rubber-coated, so it makes them all the more nicer.
I use these to help me spot what I will photograph next, spotting a bird that I am unsure of, that kind'a thing.
This doesn't take the place of a spotting scope, but it's perfect from what I need them for, and it's a lot more easier to carry than a scope would be.
The optics are bright and clear, and at this magnification they don't shake like the higher powered ones do, not knocking those, but that's a whole 'nother animal, at least for me.
I love these things, I'd highly recommends them to anyone that doesn't need a high dollar pair, and really, these should be double what they cost, they're that good.

We have ordered 15 pair of these at different times because we use them to give away to disadvantaged groups, where teachers need a binocular set for night observing that is decent but not expensive to replace (we send or take binoculars overseas). We also use the same set at home for demonstrations and binocular observing. Every pair we have had has been the same, which means the quality assurance is very good. Optically, for the price, these binoculars are well above average. The view is clear, right diopter adjustment works easily, the instant focus is smooth and quick to operate. Amazon's price was a little better than anyone else.

I wanted these for back porch bird watching and they do the trick. They are not heavy and the object is nice, bright and clear, which is what I wanted. The price can't be beat, so how can I complain?

Great binoculars. Light weight. I bought these to see wild life in my backyard,and they are great. Easy to focus. I love these.

This binocular is really nice. Sharp, easy to focus but, best of all, very bright image. I gambled on the junk Vivitar 7x50s for slightly less and they were a joke--hard to focus, very dark image. So I bought this bushnell for barely a ten spot more money. Wow, very bright image, focus dead on and easy. As others have said, this is all the binocular a casual user will need. My wife's 10x25 Nikon for twice the price (also on Amazon) are very nice and light weight especially if you need more power. But these Bushnell's are the best value for sure. Bright and clear.

Was not sure how these would be when I received them. For the price they are very nice the vision is clear ,crisp, and they are lightweight. Excellent binoculars for the price I would recommend them to anyone.

I just wanted a pair to play around with while hiking and whatnot. Very satisfied, nicest pair I've owned. I thought they would be a cheap pair since they were... cheap. But they are pretty heavy duty and see clearly far enough away for my taste.
