Would these binoculars be good for watching major league baseball games? Thanks. :)

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.

Yes, I would try them, I have used these in low light conditions and at night looking at moon and stars and for the price and quality of these binoculars you cannot go wrong, very good deal.

I honestly can't answer your question because I don't know what is required of bird watching binoculars. Sorry. I use these at sports events, volleyball in particular. I'm not fast enough to follow the ball but I do watch the players.

I also wear glasses. I've not found any binoculars, and I have tried many, that worked very well with my glasses on. That includes these binoculars. However, despite that problem I do like these binoculars. They are lightweight, compact and provide a good sharp image.

I've not used them in that environment, use mostly for birding which is perhaps a more challenging use for binoculars. Thus I see no reason why they would not be very good for that. I do not think you would want greater magnification with narrower field of view because you have to move them quickly in that scenario. THese are very good overall, especially for the price. If it rains, the lenses have built in attached covers to keep them dry when not in use.

I've never used them for looking at stars , but I would imagine that they would work well. If you start at the low magnification to identify the stars/ constellation(s) and work slowly toward max magnification , you should have pretty satisfactory experiences. As always when looking at stars , stability is a key requirement , so hand held binoculars might cause some frustration at times.

I think they are fair in low light conditions not as good as the higher power binoculars but when you considering a compact pair they are fair and for the price to it was worth it not spending alot of money on a pair that might not be that good. Hope that helps answer your question.

I don't think you need to buy the Bushnell binoculars because they are more for watching a baseball game, not to good on a football game.

I think they would work quite well. I used to have a pair of 10X50 binoculars and it was too hard to keep the field of vision steady. Really needed a tripod to see clearly without shaking.However, I'm not a hunter, per se.

To be honest, mine Works really nice even at 125X. About clarity in my opinión at 100x is the average. Please just learn how to use them porperly. I´ve had very good moments with my binoculars for around 2 years.

Yes, and yes. But, a good pair of 10x50 porros are hard to beat for convenience and all-around astro use. Good field of view and good magnification for most binocular objects. 8x40s are also quite useful. Young eyes might be up to using a good pair of 7x50 under fairly dark (rural) skies. That said, to take a quick handheld looksee at the Moon or Jupiter or Mars or the Orion Nebula or Comets or Hawks or Gulls this pair of 12x60 is awesome in my opinion. And that said, but if I only had one pair of binoculars I would probably opt for a good 8x40 (8x42/44) pair of water/fog proof porro prism bins. The Bushnell Legacy and the Pentax PCF WP come to mind. Or a good pair of 8x40 roof prism bins. I wouldn't bother with any porro that didn't at least have Phase Coating PC for Astro use.

They are good for birds. The really good thing about them is that with these lenses, at dusk I can see details even fairly close (25') that I can't see with the naked eye. The lenses gather so much light that you can view objects in dimmer light than my previous binoculars or the naked eye. I purchased these binoculars to watch owls at dusk, and found I can watch the owls for 10-15 minutes longer, with clarity, than I could with other binoculars.

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 believe they are great for a "general purpose" set of binoculars. I have had a few sets in the past and believe these are great. I could not find anything better without spending a LOT more money.

They are good for astronomy. I live in Los Angeles... and light pollution is horrible... I am able to see more start than with the naked eye. I have seen star clusters (M7), Andromeda galaxy (appears as smudge)... I was not able to see rings of Saturn with these binoculars... Saturn appears as an oblong light, a telescope would be a better option to view rings. I have not had a chance to look at Jupiter.

These are very good general purpose binoculars. I did several comparisons, and these were the clear price/performance leader. There are better (and more expensive...) choices for specific purposes, depending on your level of interest and expertise. Just this morning I saw several ducks on the pond behind our house, which is over 100 meters from the back of the house. I easily identified a mallard duck family (only one duckling) but had to go to the Cornell ornithology site to identify 2 male hooded mergansers; the latter were quite remarkable, with their large white plumes! Hope this helps. CS

The magnification is idea for sporting events. I would not consider any stronger magnification. These are very high quality binoculars with some special features ideal for birding (e.g. fully coated Nikon optics). You may not need such optics for a well lit sporting event, but they will make the viewing experience superior to lesser binoculars (if you can afford the cost). Fully coated optics which gather much more light than typical uncoated optics. This makes for a much brighter image. Ideal for low light and back-lit birding. Do not go any stronger for a sporting event otherwise you will be focused on too narrow of a range.
