Steiner 10x26 Safari Binocular, is made by Steiner, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$229.00. (*The prices are subject to change)
I love them!!! Saw them on sale and binoculars have been on my husband's wish list for years (I honestly never saw the need for them so when I pick things off his list for a gift they kept being passed over) so I bought them. Since Father's Day is so very far away and Amazon's return policy .....well, the less said the better, I decided to take them out and check to make sure they were okay. Okay? These are fantastic!!! I live in the middle of nowhere and I can see the deer herd move through the hills. Not only can I see them but I can now pick up little individual characteristics and tell them apart (yeah, I have no life-got a problem with that?). I watch the birds and see every little feather on their heads. Poor husband is going to get his gift and find them well broke in but a pair of Steiner binoculars will be on MY wish list soon.

Konica Minolta 8x42 Waterproof Classic Sport Binoculars, is made by Konica Minolta. The list price is around US$109.99.
I just recieved my new binoculars and as is usual with the old Minolta tradition, you get a great product at a greater price.
I worked for this company many years ago and I remember they were sticklers for detail.
The binoculars are great if, like me, you have to wear glasses; incredible eye relief. It was very heavy overcast and once upto my eyes, someone turned on the lights. It was just that bright. The contrast was not overbearing in any way; just enough snap to remind you of a good quality pair of binoculars. With a short focus of only 18 feet and a sharpness beyond my expectations, I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. I highly recommend them to both pros and amatuers alike.

Canon 8x32 Waterproof Binoculars w/Case & Neck Strap, is made by Canon. The list price is around US$260.00.
I compared this model in a sporting goods store to similar sized $500-1000 models from well known binoc. makers and to some other moderately priced units in the $100-250 range. I thought it outdid the other moderate units in handling and image quality and came pretty close to several of the high end models. For our limited uses this product is excellent. Canon is well known in camera optics but has not been well known in the binocular market and this non IS model is their way of breaking into the market. I use a Zeiss microscope everyday and appreciate good optics.

Nikon Action 8x40 Binocular, is made by Nikon, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$108.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $66.65.
Just a nice product, that lives up to the Nikon name. Not overweight, it's well-balanced and a good combination of size, magnification, light-gathering objective lens size, and clear optics. It even has well-designed lens caps. Very satisfied with this product.

Konica Minolta Activa 8x42 Waterproof Sport Binocular with Case & Strap, is made by Konica Minolta. The list price is around US$179.99.
I purchased the Activa 8x42D WP Sports recently and received them this week. I went to a local park on Monday evening around 7:30 with mostly cloudy skies. Even in low light conditions I was able to see the red streaks on a Yellow Warbler quite clearly. I made comparisons between the Nikon Monarch ATB and the Leupold Wind River Cascades and find these to be just as good if not better, especially with close focusing for insects, etc. I recommend the Activa. It lets just as much light through and uses quality optics and coatings.

Nikon Action 16x50 Binocular, is made by Nikon, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$174.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $100.99.
I bought them for my husband who is a hunter and loves looking across the yard at deer. He absolutely loves them. He has taken them hunting quite a bit, but also they are so crisp and clear compared to his other buddies binoculars. We took them to our families lake house and we were able to see all the wildlife so well. I highly recommend them. They turned out to be a great wedding present that he actually uses.

Bushnell Night Vision Goggle with Headgear, is made by Bushnell. The list price is around US$1060.95.
The Bushnell night vision goggles, is a great pair of goggles for the price it is. Although its only Gen1 goggles it still is very useful. When I brought these from a retailer and proceeded to use them at night I found out that my goggles were actually second hand, but that is besides the point. The Bushnell goggles when used with combination headgear, can feel very bulky and uncomfortable in the prone upright position, but as soon as you push the button to unlock the twisting mechisism the googles feel quite lite and compfortable.
The night vision itself is ok at best. With moonlight only the night vision can be described as a fuzzy black and white blobs, very faint to the naked eye, but combined with the bulit in IR the imaculate glow of the green, is just amazing. With its limited range and ok night vision the bushnell goggles is not too bad, alothough the bulit in Bright light circuit can be a bit at times over sensitive. Over all the bushnell goggles is an ok buy if your looking for cheap a...
