Bushnell Powerview 12x50 Reviews

Bushnell

No problems with delivery or packaging of the product. For the price I paid is about what the product was worth. The binoculars weight is okay. The focus to me was touchy. I think the clarity is not as crisp as I thought it should be for the 12x magnification. Over all the product is okay but I think I would look into another brand just to see if the clarification is sharper.

When I received the binoculars all I could see was double. Sent them back to Bushnell direct insteasd of the seller. I paid for the shipping back to Bushnell. Bushnell sent me new binoculars (free shipping) and now I see only one of what I am looking at. Very clear and so far so good.

Happy With Purchase

I recently bought a pair of these Bushnell PowerView 12X50 Binoculars and have been quite happy with them. The quality is good and the price from Amazon was great. The feel of them is good, not to light and not to heavy. I like the 12X50 fixed power and they focus very well with the "InstaFocus"lever. Looking through them I get a very clear bright view of what ever I'm looking at and the 12 power brings in what ever I'm looking at nice and close. I had another pair of zoom binoculars that were 12X60X70 but they proved to be much too big and powerful for my needs so I sold them and got these and I would defiantly recommend them if your looking for a good general pair of binoculars. Bushnell has been around for a long time and they give a lifetime warranty. It also came with a with a good storage case and although some have reported that the included strap is poor I don't agree and I find it is heavy enough to serve it's purpose of hanging it around your neck. I've had a number of pairs of binoculars in my life and I like these and would recommend them. The lens covers are also fine as well and do what their supposed to do.

Decent value for money

Decent pair for the price. The separate covers for each (4) lens "window" is very inconvenient though. Focusing also is not much fun.

Poor optical alignment
by J. Anderson , 2008-12-28

The bino's did not provide good sight alignment in the field of view. The picture you saw with your left eye was slightly offset from the picture you saw through your right eye, creating a 'dual image.' I have used many types of bino's in the past and was not impressed with these.
