Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.
Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.
Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line.

Customer Review: Bushnell H2O 10x42
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Just what I wanted. Small and light weight with some power. Feel very good and works smooth.Customer Review: Nice pair of binoculars for the price.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased these binoculars mainly for the purpose of watching football games from my upper level seats. The view of the field is very sharp and clear. During night games the view through them is surprisingly very bright. It seems to gather in light very well. For a full size binoculars it's not as bulky as I thought it would be. To me it's just a little bigger than a pair of compact binoculars. Only problem I had with them is that they were a little heavy as they hung around my neck. And because of the weight I had to really hold it steady with two hands if I wanted to keep the image I was looking from shaking. Other than that I was happy with the binoculars overall.
Customer Review: Good choice
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Bought these for an Alaskan cruise. It was a good choice. Our party had a variety of binoculars ranging from cheap no-name (which did not work at all) to Nikons. For my use these worked the best. I did notice the captain of one of the excursion vessels had the full-size version of this exact binoc. Yes, they are waterproof and I needed them to be. Easy to focus. The right magnification for viewing whales, eagles, glaciers, etc.Customer Review: Carrying case is un-useable
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The plastic O ring on the carrying case which holds the large shoulder strap came in broken. Thus it renders the case un-useable.
By the time, and my cost it would be to file a complaint and ship the case back is not worth it to me.
However if Bushnell would send me a new carrying case, I would be very pleased with the transaction.

Customer Review: Couldn't really tell the difference
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I'm no hard-core bird watcher, but I bought these anyway to replace a cheap old set of 8x32's I had received as an upgrade to the hand-me-downs I received from my father. Honestly, I couldn't tell a difference. Yeah, they're nice. But for occasional use, I can't see spending the $80+. Returned these to Amazon.
