 Useless even if you don't care about quality June 3, 2006

The other reviewers who commented on the field of view are quite right. At this price you don't expect optical quality, but this binoc gives an image so teeny that quality is irrelevant. It's like looking down a pair of soda-straws. It's my impression that they were actually designed to have a wide field of view, but are manufactured with a ring-shaped baffle inside that cuts out most of the visual field. (Admittedly I didn't smack 'em open with a hammer to check. Just tossed 'em in the trash.)The folks at Bushnell suggested I send them in for inspection and "possible" replacement, but it wasn't worth the shipping...
Extremely Poor Quality; falling apart; terrible optics; not worth $1 January 4, 2006

These are without exception the poorest quality, most dissapointing purchase of the entire 2005 Christmas season! These were purchased to replace the el-cheapo National Geographic plastic job from Target, and since they cost twice as much, I assumed they would be twice as good. Actually, the cheap plastic binoculars were as good as these, but at half the price! I am not impressed in any measure; these never should have passed quality assurance inspections.
Sadly, even the image quality is on par with the $5 plastic cheap chinese crap. It is seriously not even 10% better. Pathetic.
My son (age 4) didn't want me to return these, because due to everyone taking so much time off over the New Year holiday, these just arrived an hour ago, so he was tired of waiting and didn't want to wait for a replacement order to arrive, but I insisted on it; he'll thank me when he realizes how much these binoculars suck. It'll probably take the new binoculars' arrival to convince him that I'm right. :)
Once you push the objective lenses back into the tubes they were supposed to have been installed into originally, you can see that the image quality is so disgustingly poor that these shouldn't cost a dollar. They should be available in a drugstore gumball machine. They really are that bad. Cracker Jack Toy bad. I don't believe I will ever trush Bushnell again enough to order another of their products, ever.
One of the worst products I've ever seen! May 12, 2005

The specs look good, but Dr. Goode's review is right on. These are utter junk. I bought them for the wide field of view (advertised as 650' @ 1000 yards). It's more like 150', and the vision is so poor, the image so small, the focus so bad, that they are utterly useless--except, perhaps, as a paperweight. I didn't expect Zeiss quality, but had thought Bushnell was a reputable company. Never again! I bet they haven't sold a single pair of these through brick & mortar stores, because no one would ever buy them if they tried them first.
LOUSY!!! January 10, 2004

This item is the biggest piece of junk I've ever seen. You can barely see through the objectives, the field of vision is extremely small, and the focus slips so that when you adjust it, it just slips back to where it was. I would not give these to anyone, especially a child, because a child could not deal with the frustration. I bought these for my son and was very excited to go out and look at birds with him. I will go elsewhere. By the way amazon would not refund my return shipping for this item, saying that they are not defective--meaning they are SUPPOSED to be this crappy. Good luck!
