She requested binoculars so I wanted to give her something that was durable, water resistant and with decent optics, but not for $75-$100. These seem to meet all those criteria. I would be happy to use them for camping or at concerts. The only reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is because I just don't know how water resistant they are -- haven't been in the rain with them. I advised my daughter NOT to test them for water resistance! I bought these as a birthday gift for my daughter’s 9th birthday.

I am not a hunter or dedicated bird watcher, so do not have the experience to compare against high priced models, but the clarity and operation of these are top notch. <br /> <br />I have small hands and a small face and these are the only binoculars I have found that allow the eye sockets to be width adjusted so you get the 'single circle' view you are supposed to in binoculars. <br /> <br />The crispness of the view even at the longest distances is amazing. Great value, great product. These are the best binoculars I have ever owned.

I have two of these, which I purchased after my son started getting interested in birds. The optics are simply bad. The alignment of the lenses is bad. Looking through the lenses I can clearly see that the components in the two units are in different positions. The lenses themselves are bad and impurities are easily visible. And the mechanisms are bad; when trying to focus on an object, most of the image remains out of focus. I even had one of the two units replaced by Amazon shortly after I received it and the replacement wasn't any better. Six months later I decided we had to replace them. They now sit in a drawer most of the time. I would be too embarrassed to even give them away to someone, knowing how bad they are. I won’t go into too much details.

The neck cord is a shoestring and there are no "handles" to attach a comfortable strap. The weight "feels" a lot heavier than the specification. Comparing these to my old porro-prism Bushnells, I think the porros are more compact. Definitely lighter. I'll be re-ordering something along those lines.
