My Nephew's New Favorite Pasttime! . My 8-year old nephew received the binoculars for a Christmas gift this past winter (2007) and has thoroughly enjoyed the item and its diverse uses for play, school, and creative exploration of nature. His dad (my brother) reports he has never seen such a good quality set of binoculars that a child can use so readily and without supervision because of the ruggedness and reliability of the product. Highly recommend this item!

Celestron Upclose 16x32 Reviews
Nice Budget 16x Bino's . Surprisingly good 16x power reasonably compact binos at a low price. About 1/3 longer when folded than the usual 10 by 25 binos, but a great deal closer and brighter. Mine arrived in black but with orange logos and an orange center focus dial that do not appear in the (outdated?) all-black photo of the item. I'm pleased with their performance as car glovebox, boating and cruise-ship glasses. I'm not a backyard birder but I imagine they would work well for any more or less stationery object. These don't pretend to compete with $300 binoculars so no use making comparisons. But for their budget price these are a pretty solid choice and I certainly am getting my money's worth.

Celestron Upclose 16x32 Opinions
Very good binoculars for its price . Its is a very good binoculars at this price. However, please don't compare with high end and costly ones. I purchased it around a month back for my nephew and tested it myself first when i travelled to Niagara falls. I was overall happy with its performance. I was able to focus distant objects to a reasonable clarity. Using it from the window of aeroplane was also fun. It is light weight and reasonably small.
For seeing distant objects, it will lost some of clarity and details. However, you can not expect more than that from this binoculars. Rigth eye has cylinderical adjustment and helps in focusing the object. I wish that it was having this adjustment in left also. Most of the times, i was using it with only one eye because using the binoculars with both eyes was blurring the images to some extent.
I would recomment it for users who just want to chill out with a very good binoculars in this price band and don't have any serious passion for binoculars.
Personally, i would be spending more money to get something exceptionally good ;)

Cons Review
Keep looking . Real short here. I had associated the name 'Celestron' with telescopes and therefore astronomy in general and assumed that the company made high quality products.
If these binoculars were the cheapest available I would recommend them for those looking to spend the least amount of money, however they aren't, for example The Bushnell Power-view Bushnell Powerview 12x25 is a few dollars cheaper and in my experience better. In my use of the products it seemed that the Bushnell had better focus than the Celestron and were also more compact. It doesn't get much simpler than that, one has more clarity at a distance and is more practical to carry, one isn't.
