Fantastic Binoculars at low power
These binoculars are great, they look really good and are easy to grip and fairly compact.

These binoculars provide a crystal clear, surprisingly wide view (for a 25mm) at 8x. You can zoom in a little and still have a good view, but zooming too far (closer to 24x), the image gets very narrow and dim. At 24x on a partly cloudy day at noon I could barely see anything at 24x, possibly in very bright light it would be better. This seems to be the case with every zoom bionculars I've ever tried - which is why I went with Celestron, I figured if anyone can do it right they can.

I'd still have to give it 4 stars because at 8x the image is spectacular, but I do have to critisize Zoom in general in binoculars. If you want the option to zoom in you're probably better off carrying 2 separate pairs, one 8x and one 16x or so, and swapping them as neccessary.

Good Binoculars for the Price
This binoculars is best bang for the buck. For the price paid, the lens quality and zoom is very good. Includes case and strap which is nice. Very light and compact to carry around. I gave only 4 stars because of the finish quality and appearance of the product which is good but not excellent.

compact lightweight binocular for the traveler and sportsman
Compact, and lightweight with good coated optics. Well made. Only 25mm, so field of view is limited at 1000 yards. Easy to focus, and the texured surface makes it very comforable to grip. One needs a steady hand to avoid shaking as power is increased above 10 power, and which decreases the field of view. Soft carry case is a plus-saves more weight. Moderately priced. Very good value for a high multi power binocular.
