5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of power in a small package, July 2, 2009

This review is from: Carson Minizoom 5-15x17 Compact Zoom Binoculars MZ-517 (Electronics)

I received these about a month ago and can not believe how very functional these Binocs have been.
I have been using Binocs all my life(past 60) and the 517 lives up to the best in performance . I grew up in a Sporting Goods Retailer family and had an opportunity to use a lot of different products over the years and -for the price -really at any price -these fall into the top ten of my favorites.Compact and easy to use,these fit in my coat pocket.They are very light weight and can be easily worn around your next with absolutely no discomfort. These are small enough that I get very little " shake" when these are in full zoom. For the money-the best buy in Binocs that I have found.

these binoculars are excellent, light weight, compact, clear, crisp viewing. The zoom feature is an added plus. This instrument is well worth the price. I would highly recommend this product

I have no opinion about how these mini binoculars compare to others in it's class. I was unaware of how small these really are. I could not get comfortable with the physical size of these binoculars and feel that unless you really know what you want these are a good candidate for local purchase so that you are comfortable with the size and features. I find Amazon a great source for many of my purchases, it just didn't work out this time.
