will these work for birdwatching?

I'm not a bird watcher so I cannot really answer. I live in a condo with a view of the ocean and a wide river with lots of boat traffic. The binoculars are great to watch the boat traffic.

Sorry, but I am not a birdwatcher so can not give a knowledgeable answer. They are however great for everything I use them for and it is amazing that they need no focusing. The only things out of focus are those that are very close (within about ten feet).

Yrs as long as they are not up close .i us mine every day .i love the fact they are so clear with no need 2 focus

Anything closer than about 50-75 feet will be out of focus. Beyond that they are great. These are auto-focus and you can not adjust the focus manually.

Yes, very much so. Not having to focus means more chance of the bird not flying away before you can focus on it. The higher the Power the farther away the subject bird must be. I have both the 7x35 and 10x50 Power Models and somewhat prefer the 7x35's for most viewing.

If you mean Turkeys, Hawks, and Eagles...yes...they do an awesome job spotting deer in our back yard too.

NO, UNLESS you are watching them from a 100 yd's or so. Mine was a failure at most distances. suggest a good Bushnell standard 50 and set them for your eyes. Don't loan them out.

Since this has a 10 power magnification, with a fairly good field of view, I think they'd work well for bird-watching. You might consider something with an adjustable focus and magnification but this is commoner on single lens spotting scopes or camera lens applications than in binoculars. For a fixed power device, this is a good option. Paul M.

I find them to be fantastic for general use. Recently used them for inspecting the roof and upper parts of our house from the ground. They are superb for birding and wildlife watching. They focus quickly and work well if tou wear glasses. Well worth the money.

I think they would be great. I love mine. I bought them specifically for bird watching and they are great, you can be just 5 feet away and still look at the birds even closer with those binoculars. They also have great magnification for longer distances and they are small and lightweight, which would be nice at the ballpark.

Marnee, We are not experts on this issue and this is the first set of binoculars we had purchased in a few years, but we use them to view birds in our tree tops, 40, 50, 60 feet up. We also view birds further away, of course, but these binoculars are well suited to close viewing.

Yes they are BUT I find that they are too thin and stretchy. They are indeed comfortable. But when you raise your binoculars to your eyes in windy conditions, they will vibrate as they catch the wind--very annoying and not birding friendly IMHO.

Well, I am not a birdwatcher, Thelma, but I would think they would be great... lightweight, and the fact that they are instantly and automatically in focus would enable you to catch that glimpse before the bird flies away.

sorry - don't know. I only use them to see birds and animals in my back yard at the moment.

Yes. They are lightweight, sharp of focus and easy to focus. The field of view is great for Alaskan wildlife.

Sure--wildlife viewing is primarily what I use them for. I keep them by a window overlooking my bird feeders and a vacant lot that's full of quail, doves and the occasional hawk. The only possible problem I can think of is the 7x magnification--it's fine at suburban range, but I live in Nevada, where it's common to be able to look for 20 or 30 miles across the desert. If you'll be some distance from your objective, Nikon makes a 10x50 version of these that might suit you better. The tradeoffs would be increased weight and a smaller field of view at a given distance. For general use, though, I like the 7x35s. Sure--wildlife viewing is primarily what I use them for.

I think they should work just fine. There needs to be some kind of loop on the binoculars where straps will be attached.

They are very good for star gazing and bird watching by helping to eliminate the natural tremor in our bodies. They will not, however, eliminate wave action from water

They are very clear and work well for me hunting and bird watching. Unless you need some very long distance viewing they should be fine.I have some very expensive Zeiss optics and these are just as clear at about 1/4 the the price.

I don't think these will work well for astronomy. You might look at the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter available on Amazon at under $60.

No, I do not think so. My mother (macular degeneration) has failing eye sight uses it so she can see birds out the back door. At most, she can see them on feeders about 2 yards and 10 yards from the back door. She says she needs her binoculars [(using only one side) as she is 90% blind in her right eye] to see further into the yard and into the trees.

Yes they are perfect for birding. You will not be disappointed. You can spend 3 times them amount and get less quality.

Yes these should work great for you , my sons has glasses and uses them all the time hunting.

I think they would be great. Although sturdy, they are fairly lightweight, compact and easy to grip. The neck strap is very comfortable. I use mine on the ranch, but I know people who use them for bird watching, so you can zero in on your favorite player and not miss a touchdown.
