BushnellPowerView 20x50 Super High-Powered Surveillance Binoculars, Black

I bought these binoculars for daytime use, with no digital features/batteries to be able to use in case of any electrical disturbance or EMP, to be paired with a laser rangefinder. The daytime images are crisp and clear up to 700 yards (according to the rangefinder). Even in very low-light condition,s images are crisp and clear out to 100-125 yds. However, these are not night vision binoculars and should not be bought if that is what you are looking for. The lever-like magnification adjustment in the center connector is a plus as it makes adjusting images to ranges desired simple and quick and does not irritate your finger as the usual circular ribbed adjustment knobs do. There is a single eye piece/focus adjustment on the right, so you cannot adjust separately for each eye. All adjustments are manual. These are full size binoculars-I wouldn't call them large or excessively heavy. They are surprisingly light for their size but feel like quality, sturdy, well made binoculars able to take some bumps and drops with their rubberized skin. Basically, they are as advertized, with the reviews generally accurate regarding performance and build. There is a neck strap which is comfortable to use and they do not pull down on your neck with the strap. There is also a strap for the carry bag, which is large enough to hold my rangefinder and the binoculars together. For someone who is going to be on the go or in tactical situations I would suggest getting a molle administrative/padded pouch to mount on a plate carrier or chest rig for long-term carry needs.

I bought this pair of binoculars as a replacement and upgrade for what I had for the past twenty years.When I orderd it, I did know it would let me see more at much farther distances than what our previous pair allowed. But when I actually had the chance to compare them both side by side when it was delivered I was amazed at how much difference there was. I only now wish I had made the switch many years earlier.Well worth the price, very good close ups for sporting events, travel, recreational, and hunting activities.The quality is very good, and I have had no issues with the mechanism so far. The only short fall, and it is a minor one at that, is the strap. It could be of better quality and a little better thought out with its functionality.However with its carrying case, the strap is not that much of factor. I do rate it a good buy overall. If you buy it, you will like what you see with it.

Nice strong 20x, sure its shakey but I expected that.

Bushnell is one of the most trusted names in binoculars & scopes, The 20x power brings subjects very close with very little loss of detail. With the 50x Diameter lens, it lets in just so much light for a 20x magnification. For the optimal experience use these in daylight, the brighter the day the better the image quality. The higher the power (20x) not only magnifies the image but also magnifies the hand movement, these binoculars have a tripod adapter built in if you need it.

a great value. Very clear and incredible magnifications. Big and bulky. You'll see the shake in your hand. They are not sealed the best. I had these and got some condensation in them some how and opened them up to dry out. Friends uncle messed with it and chipped a lense. Bushnell does not make and will not sell ANY parts nor service these. You are done if you damage these. Buy another pair. I really reccomend buying these and another more durable and warranty or repairable set. I was upset that they would not bother to repair or sell parts. This kind of magnification is what you want sometimes. You can read aircraft numbers or street signs from a mile away. Great value and performance, but lacks repairabliity or longevitiy. Trying Celestron next

Overall, these provide a good viewing experience. However, at their minimum closure, the eyepieces are too far apart for me.

I was rather hesitant to spend such an amount of money on this product, but you get what you pay for. These binoculars are INCREDIBLE. It is clear and responsive. The quality of these binoculars was much better than I had anticipated. I've had them for about 2 years now and still work like new. I enjoy using them to look off the mountains in my area and at the moon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED. Though I do recommend a tripod to stabilize the optics because with the bare hand it's rather shaky but that's expected of a high magnification optic.

I'm somewhat experienced with SLR cameras and have a number of telescopes and binoculars of varying price ranges. I found these to be problematic to the point where I wonder if they're broken - except some issues are physical limitations.Pros - Nice solid feel. That's it.Cons --The closest you can get the eyepieces together is still too far apart. I can just use it, my girlfriend can't have both eyes using it at once - she's 5'4 and her eyes are normally spaced for her size.-Blurry. Blurry. Blurry. Even with diopter adjustments, I simply cannot get a reasonable amount of clarity out of these. It's really bad. Using one side at a time doesn't seem to help.-Focus requires much more pressure than I'm used to.I use these in broad daylight to look at things on my property (fields, etc). Stationary, plenty of light.I have a Vanguard set that I paid $200 for (Amazon, on sale) and they are flat out amazing. I have other glass that was in the $80 price range which is far superior to this set.I've had them for eight months; going to reach out to Bushnell and will update if they are helpful.
