May be good for the kids, but...
(2 out of 5) by W. D. Newman on Mar 25, 2009 (Clinton, MS USA)I ordered these after reading the stellar reviews on this site. Got them in yesterday, and here is what I found.
1. Very lightweight unit. This is because it is made of cheap plastic. Has no heft to it at all. I am sure that the lenses are also plastic.
2. Chinese made.
3. Distortion around the edges when sweeping back and forth.
4. Feels very fragile. I doubt that it would survive a three foot drop onto carpet.
5. Everything just has a cheap feel to it.
Where oh where are the good metal frames of yesteryear?
Conclusions: These are good binoculars to let the kids play with. Thats why I gave it two stars.
Other conclusions: Who on earth wrote the other opinions here? Either employees of the company selling these things or people who never actually seen any other binoculars.

Awesome binoculars
(5 out of 5) by T. Elison on Jan 1, 2008 (Albrightsville, Pa)This is a great pair of binoculars, especially for the price. I purchased them as a gift for my husband, but they're so easy to use, I like to use them too!

These Binoculars are awesome!
(5 out of 5) by K. Sattler on Jan 7, 2009I didn't know much about binoculars so I did some research prior to purchasing this item and you can't beat the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the power. I can see buildings that are 20 miles away. It's great. I would highly recommend this item.
