Bushnell Powerview 8x21 Compact Folding Roof
Prism Binocular Review
These are great binoculars for children who like to tag along on your field trips because of their compact size
and easy to use weight. But don't simply dismiss them as of no use to adults. Because of their small,
lightweight, compact size they can easily be slipped into your pocket and carried with you for those
times, for example, when you come across a bird or other wildlife you didn't expect in your everyday
activities. They're also great for concerts [which is what most users seemed to use them for], sporting events or
for use on your vacation because they're easy to carry and easy to use. When folded they folded they are about the
size of a GPS or digital camera.
Some users found them a little difficult to focus but anyone who went back to read the manual and applied the
proper sequence of steps finally found the proper way to focus them and get a crisp image. Others found the push-up
rubber eye piece was not long enough to work with their glasses but did find they were able to focus them well
enough once they remove their eyeglasses. If this may be too much of a hassle for you to continually have to remove
your glasses you may want to move on to another pair of binoculars.

Low Price But Well Made
Great for kid use. They're perfectly configured for small hands, and their ease of use will facilitate a child's
interest in birding and wildlife. Also great to take to a concert or other event because you can easily slip them
inside a pocket.
Highly Affordable With Excellent Optics
Despite their low price these binoculars offer a very good view of your subject. You can get up close detail for
example when you're on vacation and viewing all those amazing historical buildings.

"great purchase. These were purchased for my nephews, who are 3 and 6 years old. I was going to buy toy
binoculars, but these were no more expensive. When they arrived, I was pleasantly surprise..."
"For so few bucks, you can't expect the world. So don't. As another reviewer said, they're better than toys
(much better, actually). But they don't offer a sharp, high-contrast view..."
"i would recomend these to anyone who wants good yet doesnt want to spend alot of cash!"
"These are great little binoculars, they are lightweight and easy to store in your pocket. Good clear field of
view for any outdoor activity. Great price! If you are looking for small,lightweight,easy to carry & easy to
use then these are the binoculars for you. I purchased two of them one for my 5 year old grandaughter who loves to
look at birds and she learned to use them in just a few minutes, she was thrilled & so was she."

"Amazing binocs for the price.... for 3x the price.... very light, very small, perfect for any events, even
indoors since they are the smallest binocs I have ever seen, and I have seen dozens.... well worth the money...
easy to focus wheel. Highly recommended. One of my few five-star product reviews."
"These easily fit in a pocket next to a cell phone, or with the included case strap to a belt. I used these for
game viewing in Africa and was not disappointed; got me close to the action and were never a hassle to lug around
or take out. For the money, these are a great value."
"I wasn't expecting much for the price here, but the first pair was so impressive that we ordered a second.
These turned out to be just right for our purposes--looking at architectural details, frescos, etc. on a trip."
"Got these for dance and theater performances and they work just fine and are easy to carry. Used them from the
upper terrace at a baseball game, and they weren't quite as good from the greater distance, but overall they are a
great value."

"If you are in the market for a pair of inexpensive binoculars that you can carry around in your car, purse,
knapsack, and maybe even in your pocket, you have to add the Bushnell...."
"sted as being rustproof, but not waterproof or fogproof...Each lens barrel has a rubberized exterior from end
to end, however, the relatively long connecting bridge between the two lens barrel is not rubberized."
