 Great Fixed Power Binoculars!!!Feb 09, 2009
By J. Sebenus
"Jamie"
Greetings,
These binoculars focus great from up-close to far away. The PowerView Zip Focus works great for fast focusing and the views are sharp. This is a great deal for the money. Always set the Bino's on a stationary surface when setting the diopter for matching your eyes the first time. Focus left eye first with PowerZoom focus with right eye shut, then open right eye and close left and adjust the diopter (twist right eyepiece) for right eye focus. Once set, you will experience great performance from your Bushnell Bino's!!!! Enjoy! ...Jamie

 Great for the MoneyFeb 22, 2008
By Andrew Toussaint
This is the first Binoc purchase I have made and I will say I am quite pleased.
I have some outdoor friends that have those higher end models made from camera companies that are a few hundred dollars and in all honesty, I can't tell much of a difference. Just remember, this is coming from a beginner. Obviously experts will point out of the "niddy griddy" flaws, etc. for one reason or other. I do the same in other fields of my expertises. But unlike the typical expert, I throw away my pride and firmly believe in the most bang for your buck.
And these Binocs definitely pull through.
Would have been five stars, but I agree with everyone else; the strap is a piece of crap. Haven't even bothered putting in on.
P.S. remember that these magnify 20x. The average person will find it hard to keep the magnified image stable. Military uses 6-8x binocs for this reason.

high power fi that's what you wantJun 03, 2009
By gobber
I read the reviews on this product and was a little reluctant to buy it beacuse people complained that they were too strong and difficult to hold when looking at a distance. If you want strong binoculars that's what will happen. These are fantastic at long distance and need a steady hand. If you want close distance you will need to get weaker ones.

Better than anticipatedNov 15, 2008
By Donald P. Gagnon
"'Unquenchable thirst for understanding'"
As a town agency inspecting possible development sites, I needed versatile, fairly rugged, yet budget priced binoculars. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. These Bushnells were built very rugged, were surprisingly clear and easy to use and offered a much better field of view than similar models we had used in the past.
The carrying case could be beefed up a little more if, like me, you tend to toss them in the back of the SUV and head out into the field. The lens caps also were a little skimpy and easy to lose. But, for a good day-to-day field work unit, it offers both ruggedness and precision viewing. Easy to focus and the magnification is perfect when you are in locations that tend to be inaccessible and you need long-range viewing power. In that price range, the Bushnell 20x50 is more than worth the investment.

Very PleasedMay 08, 2008
By K. JEFFREYS
Ok so the strap is kind of cheap. Other than that, I find the binoculars to work great. Of course I've been using a pair of Jason 7x35 for ten years so this is a big step up. The birds I've been watching from afar are suddenly practically in my living room. I find them very easy to focus and the images are crystal clear. I am very pleased.
