I've got eight pairs of binoculars in the house: Celestrons, Bushnells, Nikon travel set, Canons (large and compact), but my go-to pair is this compact 10X30. Lightweight for long field use; excellent light gathering (and not bad in low light); waterproof; great price.

Bought this binocular for wildlife viewing in time for Eagle season on the Mississippi and we are very happy with it. Lens covers a slight bother but not really a problem. Size and weight make it very portable and easy to use. We are amazed at what we can see at long distances.

These light weight binoculars are amazing. Easy to focus with sharply defined image, even at several miles. More than I expected at this price.

Great buy. They are very good and great for general purpose use - watching birds to watching ballet.
