Sports reviews of Bushnell PowerView 20x50 Super High-Powered Surveillance Binoculars
Customer Review: Great Binoculars
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Bought the binoculars for my husband for Christmas & he says they are really good.Customer Review: Great for the Money
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is the first Binoc purchase I have made and I will say I am quite pleased.
I have some outdoor friends that have those higher end models made from camera companies that are a few hundred dollars and in all honesty, I can't tell much of a difference. Just remember, this is coming from a beginner. Obviously experts will point out of the "niddy griddy" flaws, etc. for one reason or other. I do the same in other fields of my expertises. But unlike the typical expert, I throw away my pride and firmly believe in the most bang for your buck.
And these Binocs definitely pull through.
Would have been five stars, but I agree with everyone else; the strap is a piece of crap. Haven't even bothered putting in on.
P.S. remember that these magnify 20x. The average person will find it hard to keep the magnified image stable. Military uses 6-8x binocs for this reason.
Customer Review: Better than anticipated
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
As a town agency inspecting possible development sites, I needed versatile, fairly rugged, yet budget priced binoculars. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. These Bushnells were built very rugged, were surprisingly clear and easy to use and offered a much better field of view than similar models we had used in the past.
The carrying case could be beefed up a little more if, like me, you tend to toss them in the back of the SUV and head out into the field. The lens caps also were a little skimpy and easy to lose. But, for a good day-to-day field work unit, it offers both ruggedness and precision viewing. Easy to focus and the magnification is perfect when you are in locations that tend to be inaccessible and you need long-range viewing power. In that price range, the Bushnell 20x50 is more than worth the investment.
Customer Review: Nice Binoculars but.....
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
When I first received these binoculars I was seeing a double image. I tried re-adjusting them as per the instructions but no luck.
I then contacted Bushnell tech support via their website's email. No luck, they never responded to me, even as I write this review. It's been over a month now.
I took it upon myself to un-screw each of the larger lenses's then re-screwed them on and bingo I fixed the double image problem. They now work great.
Even though I believe that Bushnell has good products, I would not make them my first choice in purchasing any other products that they manufacture simply because of the total lack of their customer service practices.
Customer Review: Excellent high magnification for the price

I was very pleased with these binoculars. I am a bird watcher and had been using 10X binoculars. I wanted a pair with higher magnification to aid in identification. The Bushnell 20X binoculars give me a much more detailed view. That said, I still use the 10X pair for quickly spotting a bird in a tree--the 20X pair have a smaller field of view when trying to see a small bird in the middle of foliage. I switch to the 20X after I've zeroed in on the bird, or if it's on water or somewhere else with an uncluttered background. There is some "shaking" to the image, which is common with higher powers. Otherwise, a great product.
