My wife wanted a small set of binoculars for watching the birds in our back yard. These fit the bill perfectly! She is very happy with them.

br /Images are very sharp and clear and the focus is easy to adjust. The 8 power is easy to hold steady. 10 power is too much magnification and the image shakes. I recommend the 8 power as on these binoculars for hand held use.

br /They are also easy to adjust for different distances between eyes.

br /I was surprised at how bright the image is with only a 22 mm primary lens. The image was as bright as looking at the scene with the naked eye.

Slight delay in shipping due to being out of stock, but the bino's are real good. The image is more clear than my similarly spec'd Bushnell's and the Galileo mini is smaller and lighter. Only wish it had more than just the one loop for the wrist strap as I would rather have a neck strap.

Compact, good quality
