Really good field binoculars

In the attached video I give a comparison with my current Nikon Venturer II which I received for bird watching in the early 1990's. These are compact reverse porro binoculars that excel in portability and lens clarity. But you will see in the video that I had issues with a smaller exit pupil and presbyopia (focus and prism issues). When I started wearing glasses, I couldn't use Nikon anymore. I've resigned myself to using a monocular (spotting scope) for bird watching and hunting. This Bushnell

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design

A good choice for an introduction to bird watching at the feeding station

These are entry level binoculars with magnification and a lens that will appeal to some people who enjoy watching birds at the feeding station.

This is a serious problem with a distant bird that is moving. This is much less of an issue for birds close enough to perch on a fixed feeding…

Impressive quality and performance

To be honest I didn't know what to expect qualitatively from this brand of binoculars in this price range but I decided to give it a try and am very glad I did.

Universal; continuous; ideal for outdoor enthusiasts

The Engage X (BENX1042) is the entry-level model in Bushnell's Engage collection. Classic Engage, DX and X are available. Here is the difference in lens/prism coating technology: X: Fully Multi-Coated. All surfaces of the air-to-glass lenses (inside and outside) have multiple anti-reflective coatings; Bushnell's exclusive hydrophobic/oleophobic DX lens outer coating: same as X, plus a dielectric coating applied to the prisms for brilliant color rendition and 92% light transmission. The coating…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expandable
