Summary: unusable
Review: I had to return mine. Maybe they were defective, but unless I held them "just so" I experienced huge brightness shifts and blackouts. Recommend sampling optics in stores before buying online.

Review: I have bought this binoculars from Amazon through a friend in States to be delivered to Singapore. I needed the bino to check if there are any available slots in the golf driving range about 400 metres from my room. : )After reading all the great comments about this piece of baby, i decided to buy it. The magnification wasn't as terrific as i thought, the distance is too far? guess i was bought by the writeups posted by the previous reviewers. I've not tried the other binoculars before, but i'm pretty convinced the other brands will do just as fine minus the higher price tag.

Summary: ***Lesson learned: "Compact" and "Small"
Review: I just received and returned these the same day. Somehow I didn't expect binoculars the size of a paperback. Don't get me wrong ... They look like great binoculars. It is just that I didn't equate the words "compact", and "small" with dinky. My bad :) So, I thought I'd share my experience to help you avoid repeating my mistake. If you are looking for small binoculars, you should definitely consider these. If you are looking for standard sized binoculars do not order these.

Summary: Just the right size!
Review: I own several pairs of binoculars and these are my favorite! They are small as noted by several of the other reviewers, but there really isn't any reason why this should be an issue. The optics are great that the adjustments are easy. These have a permanent place in my daypack and get used several times each week.

Summary: I GUESS THEY ARE GOOD?
Review: I was fooled by great reviews and a great price. I guess they are good but I wanted something more powerful. They are compact and lightweight. They have a nice design but I did return them. I am going to buy something more powerful but I guess I am going to have to spend the extra money.

Review: I was looking for a quality compact pair of binoculars, this
was exactly what I was looking for. There well built, optics
are exellent. As good as a porro design gets. I can't see how
you could go wrong at this price. I'm very satified with them.

Summary: Great Binoc's for the $$$, buy these!
Review: I was questioning the power of these binoculars prior to buying them. I wanted something lightweight enough for hiking, backpacking and birdwatching so I bought these. I am very pleased with the optics and recently compared these to a small pair of Nikon's my friend had paid double the money for, needless to say, the Canon 8x23's put his to shame. They had much better clarity at further distances, plus there was more viewable area with better lighting. Don't waste your money on other brands, Canon has done a great job with this product and I am going to buy a second pair for my wife. I would put these up against full size Binoculars any day, but not of course a $1K pair! Great buy for the money and you will be pleased.

Review: I wasn't blown away by the optics of this brand of binoculars, but they are light and comfortable. I did not want a heavy, bulky item, so I think the sacrifice in optics is worth the added comfort.
