A few days later I fell in love with these binoculars. The magnification seems reasonable for boating: not too high (to minimize image shake) but strong enough to really help identify buoy numbers etc. I'm used to using my high quality compact binoculars for travel so maybe I'm just used to a dimmer image but I was blown away by the brightness and clarity of the image in these binoculars. Center focusing is also very soft. A side note: the lens end caps (attached) are very handy, but it would be nice if the eyepiece caps were a one-piece assembly that could be attached to the binoculars with a string like you see on some other binoculars. But other than that very, very minor issue, they're great. They are very durable and feel well balanced - easy to hold on to. Worth the money in my opinion.
