These would be pretty good for football games. Nice wide field of view and a bright image certainly help to see who has the ball.

We use it for hunting and works great. I would image they would be great for football games. My husband says they are the clearest binocs he has ever owned and he has owned alot.

I've been using this binocular for spotting birds or watching objects. The optics quality is better than than 300mm telephoto lens. One problem I found is that seeing objects for few a short period of time, i.e. over 20 seconds, develops shaking scene by slight hand movement. A monopod with binocular adapter will fix this, which I gonna try.

They are an excellent binoc. I do have some problem with lost width due to wearing glasses but that's not a big deal.

These optics will work but I think that the 8 power may be too strong. I would go for 7X with as wide a field as I could find. For best results it is important to perform adjustments in the order given in the instructions. Enjoy the games.

I would say there is probably too much zoom if you wanted to used it exclusively for football. My uncle uses canon image stabilized binos for football games which might be easier to use depending on where you sit. I do loves these binos and would purchase them again in a second.

Not football but other videos in large seminars and the picture quality is really good. We are even at a much lower resolution than if I were watching a movie at home. I use it because of the short throw function onto a very large screen.

I've used them at two games so far. They are okay for viewing the game but the field of vision is not as wide as those made specifically for football games. I will continue to use them.

I used this lens for evening HS football games with a D800E. I did use with a monopod, and ran higher ISOs to keep the shutter speed as hi as possible.

Yes, your husband will be able to see football on it. And with very good quality !

It is okay for sports. The only thing I dislike is the power on button is somewhat loose, so if you run or jump around the button makes a slight clicking noise which distracts from the music.....not a big issue but an issue none the less.

My wife and I watched the first Ohio State football game this weekend on our new Samsung curved TV. We found that the picture is so clear and life like that it gives the feeling of being there with the added advantage of all the different camera angles. This thing makes viewing a football game a totally different experience. You will not be disappointed.

I cover High School sports, and in teh fall that means football, outside, at night, in varying light conditions. I typically run ISO3200, and the camera works fantastic. The camera is overall far better than I had hoped, and the pictures are fantastic.

Maurice. I would not recommend this for a football. The problem with Obenauf's LP is it's moderately thick, oily and takes a considerable amount of time to soak into leather. As a leather protector it is an excellent product; however, it will darken leather and depending on the type and density of the leather it can permanently darken your product. I can't imagine it on a football - it would make it pretty hard to handle and your hand would be a "mess" (think covered with grease). I don't use LP on many products due to its "heavy oily nature"; however, I do strongly recommend it for classic leather winter type boots that get exposed to salt, water, etc.

I have the Epson Home Cinema 2000, it's plenty bright enough for football in a normally dark room, (lights out, kitchen light on, blinds closed, no blackout cloth) even in eco mode; and I'm using a 135 inch screen. It doesn't have the black level of a higher contrast machine, but, at its price, you really won't find anything close to the quality. I am extremely happy with my choice.

Absolutely, that is why I bought mine...for outdoor tailgates and camping (so I can watch sports). Works great the few times I have used.

Never used it on football pads but I would say pick it up as the price is cheap and there is a very good chance it will work just fine.

I like the one I have. I have not compared the two so can't answer that question. You'll just have to do some research on what you want in a player. Good Luck.

No lag, works and looks fantastic for the price. Played Madden and Assasins Creed so far. Only downside is you will be hosting a lot more moving forward...

We use this at sporting events ie football games and at practice in daylight. We use the setting that lets in the max amount of light and have not had any problems, but everything is usually well lighted.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)
