Excellent Value for the Money!

Strengths: High-powered binoculars, great for bird-watching from a long distance. Very good optics, clear field of vision, plenty of light to see in shadow. Price is right for a 20x50 binocular, so why pay more?

Weakness: A little bulky, no ability to zoom in, fixed distance, unable to focus one eye differently from the other, due to Powerview focus feature.

I found these binoculars on the internet at a great price at B&H Photo. Shipping was fast and reasonable. The product lived up to expectations for a cheap pair of high-powered binoculars. I use them for sporting events and bird-watching, and find them to be more than adequate for these purposes. I recommend these Bushnell binoculars.

20x50 Powerview Porro Prism Binocular

Strengths: Solid construction, good optics, reasonable price

Weakness: Heavy

These Bushnell binoculars were a prefect match for me. My environment is a high rise office building overlooking NY harbor, so solid construction and performance were the top requirements. The heavy weight of these binoculars is not an issue for me, since they are stored in my office drawer most of the time. The $50 price was what sealed the deal.
Once the binoculars are focused for the left eye using the main control, the right eye focus can be fine tuned via a separate control. I am very pleased with performance. Most of the objects I'm trying to see are one mile or more away. No complaints.

Good low end binoculars

Strengths: high power, solid product, clear view

Weakness: Heavy and no zoom

Very good product for such a price (50*/-). View is clean and clear. But is kind of heavy. very well built. Too bad it doesn't have zoom function. Because it is a high power binoculars the subject and close range won't able to see it.
