1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 21, 2004

By	Juan Zaratiegui Biurrun "Jotxo" (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this binoculars hoping Carson had come with an inexpensive solution to provide high quality zoom in binoculars. I was completely dissapointed when I got My Z80. The image was fuzzy and when I used the zoom at its maximum, the image was impossible to focus and really dark. I returned the item to Amazon.
The Binoculars look great from the exterior, but really do not live up to the expectations.

Beside, I found out that a 20X magnification is a lot, not really that necessary, not to say a 80X.

Should try other less powerful models with better optics.

4.0 out of 5 stars good binoculars, November 1, 2004

By	John C. Leopold "JL" (colorado springs, co United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this binocular and knew before that when viewing something with small binoculars at very high mag you will get a dimmer image with some shaking if hand held. The unit is well put together and fun to use. Just at high mag you will have a better image in daylight. Highly recommended keeping the above in mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too impressed, July 15, 2006

By	Marc Roche (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the zoom is great, the main problem is that a lot of light is required to see the image at x40 upto x80. Also, at these zoom levels, you really need a tripod as every little shake does affect the viewing very bad. So while it's great for sports when you are sitting in the nose bleed seats, it's not easy to get the tripod into the stadium.
