My wife wanted a small set of binoculars for watching the birds in our back yard. These fit the bill perfectly! She is very happy with them.

Images are very sharp and clear and the focus is easy to adjust. The 8 power is easy to hold steady. 10 power is too much magnification and the image shakes. I recommend the 8 power as on these binoculars for hand held use.

They are also easy to adjust for different distances between eyes.

I was surprised at how bright the image is with only a 22 mm primary lens. The image was as bright as looking at the scene with the naked eye.

Excellent buy!!

Slight delay in shipping due to being out of stock, but the bino's are real good. The image is more clear than my similarly spec'd Bushnell's and the Galileo mini is smaller and lighter. Only wish it had more than just the one loop for the wrist strap as I would rather have a neck strap.

I have owned the Galileo 8x22 compact binoculars for several years and have used them for bird watching and opera. I have been extremely happy with them. The image is sharp and clear, they have a nice field of view and are so light they fit in a jacket pocket. Sadly, they are also small enough as to be easily lost. I left mine in a theater and between the time some kind person picked them up and when I retrieved them from the lost and found they must have been dropped. They now show a double image and must be used as a monocular. Fortunately they are also very inexpensive and I will not hesitate to replace them with another pair. An excellent buy.

I really like these binoculars. They are small in size, large in power. I have only used them for the theatre so far, but I was impressed with the quality. These are my first pair of binoculars, I wasn't sure what to get, but I read the reviews and decided based on the reviews of this product and my needs. I am very happy with my choice and recommend them.

I use these binoculars primarily for the opera. I have been very happy with them.

Sharp image, great price, better than other more expensive binocs I own. Handy size. Would get 5 stars but no provision for a neck strap.

I received the binoculars promptly . the instructions were precise and even better short. The product is easy to use and great for midrange use. Autofocus would have made them better but the price is definitely right. Would purchase again.

These produce a crystal-clear, bright image. They are well-made and look great. The form-factor is convenient, and I was glad to see that they would produce such a great picture but still be easily portable.

I currently use them for a bit of good-natured spying on the boaters on the lake in front of my house, but eventually hope to use them for hunting, hiking, concerts, etc...
