Amazing Price for a Japanese 3CCD DV Camcorder.......2007-03-08
Paid well under $600 after shipping and haven't discovered all of its features but it is a lot of camera for the money. Some of the controls are typically Japanese - meaning they are sometimes obscure and the controls themselves are made for rather small fingers/hands. Overall, the camera is light, takes marvelous video (given adequate light). Most 3CCD cameras seem to require a bit more light to look good than the std. single CCD cameras. Wish it could shoot video in 1080i but oh well...
No 3.1Mpixel.......2007-02-16
Just the camera is 3.1 Mpixel and I have a Nokia N70 mobilephone with the same quality picture, but the 1Mpixel camecorder are very nice. Dont buy these camecorder for the camera, and the battery durantion are very good.
Great camera.......2007-02-15
I bought this for my trip to India. It i so simple to use and the joystick feature for the umns is a breeze to get a hang of. I did not like the idea of having to touch the screen to do everything with the Sony's. I wanted the Canon Elura 100 but the idea of a noisy camera turned me off.
Like the other guy said, buy the tapes online because they are pricey in the store.
Great Camcorder.......2007-02-08
Bought this camcorder for christmas to film my little baby boy. I send dvds to my relatives who live far away and they love the picture quality. All of my friends who own camcorders agree the picure is very sharp. The camcorder is easy to use and comes with everything you need to get going except minidv tapes. Buy these with your online purchase because they are too expensive in stores. The only complaint I have would be the low light recording quality. It is only average(all camcorders are bad in low light). The camera does have a low light feature, but it produces tracers and ghosting with fast moving objects. The camera does have full manual control that will help with the image, but you need to learn camera jargon and take time to adjust before the shot. You can buy a mountable light to put on the camera, but they are not cheap. If you want a camera with good low light features, buy a sony. I'm am very pleased with this camera and would recomend it to a friend who does not shoot at night.
Great camcorder.......2007-01-15
This is my first camcorder, therefore I can't really compare to previous experiences. Regardless I really like this product, it's is relevantly small, very easy to control and the manus are pretty easy to manipulate. I haven't done any outdoors shots yet, but I was impressed by the low light performance. The colors where decently preserved, even though you can see some granularity (which I understand is normal) the picture was great (I was watching it on 720dpi HDTV). Way above my expectations. As I read in some reviews I would agree that the 3.2 mega pixels still shot is a nice feature, but by no means it's replacement of you digital camera. The software coming with it it's by now means friendly or feature rich and if you need to burn DVDs you would need to acquire AVI to DVD conversion software (I really liked Nero Vision, but you can get free once as Video DVD Maker).
Product Description
In low light, it's usually your eyes that have to adjust. Now it's your expectations. In rain or fog, at dawn or dusk, your eyes don't plan on seeing much detail. So when you put one of the new Excursion series in front of them, what they see may come as a shock. This composite chassis, roof prism design is lightweight and packed to the eyecups with quality features, from PC-3 phase-coated lenses to BaK-4 prisms. The result? Outstanding clarity, detail and brightness in low-light conditions. Your eyes will be amazed. So will the rest of you.

Arrived Broken .......2007-12-07
The binoculars arrived broken -they were cracked near the point where they pivot. Not sure if this was a product defect, due to very rough shipping/handling, or someone else had purchased the product and returned it broken which the store did not catch before they sold to us. In any case, the fact the binoculars were broken speaks clearly as to the poor manufacturing/quality control.
In the future, I will cross Bushnell off my list of acceptable brands.
Disapointed.......2007-03-05
I bought these binoculars because I wanted a medium size pair to use primarily for birding. First time out, I had difficulty getting a clear focus. To make maters worse, every bird that I looked at had a halo of red chromatic aberration around it's head. I have a pair of Nikon 10X25s which out performed the Bushnell's hands down in terms of both clarity and sharpness. I am returning the Bushnell's and considering the Audubon Equinox HP binoculars instead.
Don't Buy These Binoculars..........2007-02-16
...unless you want to have trouble focusing, have difficulty using them indoors at a sporting event, or have the neck strap bracket break off, etc. I wear glasses and these never did focus well for me. I was not happy when the bracket broke off the day I received them, just as I was to leave for an Africa safari vacation. The biocs kept slipping off my neck the whole trip, and it was frustrating.
Even more frustrating was trying to get them repaired. Suposedly there is a warranty on these. Hah! When I sent them to Bushnell for repair, they wanted [...].
Excellent for the price........2007-01-19
I got a pair of these for Christmas. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of an inexpensive roof-prism optic, and this isn't my favorite brand name either. But contrary to my expectations, I've been extremely impressed with them so far.
Good brightness, contrast, sharpness, field of view, and close focus all exceeded my expectations for a binocular at this price point. Feel, fit and finish are all very good.
I wear eyeglasses, and these binoculars still deliver a nice wide view through the eyepiece. The twist-down eyecups are quick to extend / retract if you are sharing these with someone who doesn't wear glasses.
They come with a decent carry case, and relative to porro-prism types, the weight and compactness are both a little bit better.
If you are looking for a good binocular for birding or general use, I highly recommend you take a look through these in addition to the other popular models. I think these really hit the sweet spot for price / size / weight / performance, and I'm very happy with them.
