Amazing clarity - Best bet for amateur astronomer2008-10-26
I will def. recommend this product. It's been only 4 days, but I really like this thing, it has amazing clarity and not that bulky but for sure you will feel the weight within 10 seconds and thats the only issue.

Still, much better if you will compare to telescope. And again you need to compare the price with bulky telescopes as well. So by all means good enough for amateur astronomer like me.....
5 Star Value2008-10-25
I am very happy with this purchase. The binocs are comfortable to use and adjust and I did not have any collimination issues. The tripod adaptor works well - the cap screws off and the instructions do not tell you this so I have pry scatches on it from failed attempts. There is a lot of light coming into these things but the 15X (as reviewed by others) is hard to stabilize. The tripod does not allow you to really get your eyes up tight to the binocs without shaking. I found that you can hold the binocs while on the tripod and this gives good stability. You do need a tripod about 1' taller than you to look at most overhead objects. Very good for watching elk at dusk, as well.
fair price2008-10-16
This binoculars has a fair range, the view is crisp clear, I also have a Bushnell 15x60 that I bouhg at tatget for $59.00 plus tax that are cheaper but @ long range focus is not as good as Celestron 15x70 which has
more room for focus adjustment, a little bulky but I rahter use my Celestron than my Bushnell,for astronomical view are not as good as it should, moon is to bright that I was worry about eye damage, Orion's belt too far and not clear,that's why I gave it 4 stars, I'll use it for short time terrestrial view .
Great value for the money!2008-10-15
I don't know the difference between $80.00 and more expensive binos, but these give a very clear view of stars at night and I am very happy with them.
Great value. Good quality.2008-10-13
I bought these instead of a small telescope, and I'm very happy with them. The optics are very clear. The build quality seems very good. And the price is right. I can't really ask for much more. If I could, maybe that they be water-proof, instead of 'water-resistant'. I've been using them for some basic stargazing and sightseeing, etc. I'm steady enough to use them without a tripod, but one is recommended for any serious astronomy use. ..One tip if you're not using a tripod. Hold the binoculars at the end of the lenses, not in the middle. They'll be much more steady.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.

Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
