Comments about Bushnell 10x42 H2O Binocular:
I bought these H2O 10 x42 Binoculars to take on safari to Kenya & Tanzania with me. They were perfect for the job, lovely & clear. Their compact size is great especially for travelling.
I found B & H's service excellent & my purchases arrived very quickly - most impressed.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 H2O Binocular:
I buy this binocular for bird watching, but I don't like too much. That have a good focus, but have a problem with the colors. This binocular shift white for a little yellowish and have a dark image. This way, I don't recommend this for bird watching. Maybe for something else.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 H2O Binocular:
I have used these for birding on several occasions in heavy snow fall so having waterproof binocs is a great feature. No problems with fogging, i like that all the lens covers are attached so you don't have to go digging for them. Used in low light, overcast conditions and the image is very clear. Easy to adjust with and without gloves on.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 H2O Binocular:
This set has a good tradeoff between price, aperture and magnification. 10x are a bit on the high side for birding and wildlife, but the large viewing angle makes up for the extra shake of going from 8x to 10x. The 42mm aperture also provides for plenty of light.
These were good enough to see the four main moons of Jupiter even in slightly a hazy night in Florida during a full moon night.
The focus knob was a bit tight at first, but that'll probably loosen to acceptable levels after a bit of use.

Comments about Bushnell 10x42 H2O Binocular:
We plan to tour the national park over the next few years. The Bushnell 10x42 H20 seems to be an excellent choice. Long range viewing is perfect. Being water proof and light only adds to usefulness. Only regret is that I did not check out the zoom feature. May have been a nice feature.
