Good
This is an wonderful product which i have ever bought. Its handy and i can carry anywhere i can go, this product is good for travelers as it can even fit in your jeans packet not only, the images are so clear and great, i would recommend this product to everyone. The price is also good.
Great Value. Nice Quality Binoculars.
I bought these as a second pair of binoculars to carry in a pocket or glove box. I was genuinely surprised at the quality. They are heavy (from a quality standpoint, not a cumbersome one) and solidly built. They open and focus smooth and fluid-like. The image is crisp and crystal clear. I am very pleased. For $19, these are as nice as any $50-$60 compact binoculars I've ever used. The right eye piece focuses independent to compensate for one weaker eye, as is my case. Of course with any compact binoculars you sacrifice wide-angle and light gathering power. They are best suited for daylight viewing. Well worth the price.
In the box: Binoculars, neck-strap, soft case, lens cloth & instructions.
Great binoculars but beware hand/arm shake
Attention theater- and concertgoers: After carefully reading the reviews of these Bushnell 12x25 compact binoculars and the Bushnell 8x21s (see my review under that heading), I couldn't decide which would be better for a recent trip to New York, so ended up buying both. My wife and I tried both pairs and agreed that we preferred the lower magnification pair. These, like the 8x21s, are superb quality for the price and truly enhance one's enjoyment of concerts or plays from the nosebleed section. They're easy to focus and the carrying case is handy. The only caveat is that without a tripod or something else to lean on, it's hard to hold them steady for any length of time. For that reason alone, we'd recommend the 8x21s. But birders might of course prefer the higher magnification. An excellent and cheap pair of compact binoculars.
