This was one of two pairs of waterproof binoculars we bought for a recent Alaskan cruise. I like the porro prisim design and was happy with my Bushnell 10 X 50 wide angles. So when I saw these at the price offered I felt confident with ordering sight unseen. Delivery was as advertised and packing great. Of course I had to compare them with the 10 x 50’s so I took both outside to view a nearby hill. Other than the obvious differences in power 8x vs 10x, and light gathering ability 42mm vs 50mm I found the optics clear with no noticable distortion on the edges, no light flares or reflections. They are comfortable and easy to carry. I did buy a leather case from Cabellas as the flimsy one that came with it provides only the most minimum of protection.
These will compare nicely with Braska and easily with pairs costing twice as much. Bushnell produces a fine product at a good price. On sale…its a great value. Just remember what you are paying for them, and that they are not at the Zeiss or Canon level.

I bought this for birding and general use, after a recommendation from a California Park Ranger. I’m generally pleased–bright optics with crisp resolution, quick focusing, rugged construction. They are definitely worth the money. My only disappointment is that these binoculars are a bit on the heavy side.

If you are an amateur bird watcher, never ever come this way. Professionals don’t even think about this as a backup. This is for the kids, who are strong enough to carry this around. Also good for guys who want to watch others in the neighbourhood. The eye-piece focusing is poor. The binocular looks like it is rain-proof. Gives decent quality viewing. All together three stars, earned by the price tag and the image quality. Go for it if you are looking for a cheap, decent binocular.

My wife and I got these for while we live Belize because there’s some great birding, and these have been perfect for us. It gives a super clear image and easy control of focusing, and we can venture around streams where birds are often very active or anywhere during the rainy season without being afraid of getting the binoculars wet.
If our pair of Bushnell H2O 8×42 binoculars happens to break or get lost, I’m sure we will replace it with exactly the same thing.

These binoculars were a gift for my step-son-in-law. He uses them for work as a meter reader. He loves them because they work so well at distances that he doesn’t have to get out of the car on a cold winter’s day!
