 Just what I expectedNov 22, 2009
I purchased this product for sports events and it does a great job. I have a wide field of view and I can adjust it to a closeup view without without losing the steadiness of my view. I used it during the 2009 Steelers Bronco game in Denver and I did not have a problem condensation.

 Not bad, Just don't breathOct 19, 2009
Nice clarity, compact, and focus is easy to get adjusted. I'm sure they're waterproof as advertised because I've been out in the rain with them and they still work. However, they are NOT fogproof as advertised. I was siting in a tree stand deer hunting on a cool damp morning and lifted the binocs to my face to look around. I got about 3 seconds of good viewing before they completely fogged over to the point I couldn't see anything through them. I might try treating the lenses with rain-x or something and hope for the best. The #1 reason I bought these was the claim Bushnell made about fogproof. To say the least I'm a bit disapointed.
 Great if you want to see doubleAug 08, 2009
Received as a gift. Unfortunately no matter how I adjust the binoculars, I can not get the left and right images to align. One image is up and left and one down and right. I own 2 other pair of binoculars that don't have this problem. Images are bright and clear, but seeing two of everything makes these binoculars useless.
My wife can see!!Jul 01, 2009
Very nice binoculars at a great price. My wife has always had difficulty with seeing birds on our nature walks. These binoculars deliver a crystal clear view and are easy to adjust. Very quality construction. They feel like they will last for years.

Compact and perfect for outdoors and any but the most demanding birdingMay 15, 2009
I can understand some field biologist saying they need Swarovski binoculars and none of those should even be reading this review. For all else, I can easily recommend this product. I had used porro prism binocs earlier but these roof prism ones are so much more convenient and lighter to carry during hours of treks. And I personally tested the waterproofing claims of this product when I dropped them into shallow waters during a kayaking trip - I wiped all the water off and it was good to go in moments.
There are a couple of issues though - these lenses fogged easily enough during early morning cold temperatures. Dont know if there are any better fog-free options there but that feature isnt its best strength. Also, the neck cord Bushnell packs it with looks really cheap - I would bet my binocs will definitely outlast it. And thats a concern when all that is holding the binocs from falling down is this band.
Overall, a very good deal - I bought the 10x42 H2O when they came down to about $48 in Sep 08. So, it was a brilliant deal I got. But I'd buy it again if something happened to my current one and I had to pay $85 for new ones.
