This binocular has the power of magnification I'd expect to find in heavy and bulky units. I was fooled by its weight and size and thought it was weak before I even looked through it. I was amazed at the power and clarity this binoclar provides even at high power. It comes with a neat belt carrying case and weighs absolutely nothing and at times I forgot I had it with me. I recommend it to anyone who wants a high power binocular in a very small package.

Compact and light but 27mm objectives limit useful power to around 30x, anything higher requires a tripod anyway. Still,for brilliant days it's nice to have the potential. If price is a factor this is a good choice.

I'm not an expert on binoculars - I just needed some for watching wildlife, sporting events, and babes at the beach. I wanted something compact, but I figured that unless these things were the size of telescopes you didn't get very good magnification. It turns out I was wrong! This binocular has excellent optics and magnification. It blows away some other larger units I've tried. I highly recommend it for anyone who hikes, goes to ballgames, or has a boat.

well, i have used the product and found its magnification and the resolution satisfactory..yes because of the 27" lenses the amount of light capture is less and could have been better..
Still good product for the price

I went for these binocs after reading so many favorable reviews, but I would not recommend them... For these Meade's you need tremendous light and they have a narrow field of view. At the maximum zoom they are worthless and even at the minimum zoom they are marginal.
