Very sturdy binoculars and rubber covered. Good image quality. Not too powerful where there is movement/shake with unsteady hands but powerful enough to bring images a lot closer and allow close focussing on a tree in the garden watching the wildlife. .At the weekend I saw a white vapour trail from an aircraft really high in the sky but when I looked at it through the binoculars I could make out the colour of the rear of the aircraft. Someone was piloting a single engine plane much lower than the passenger aircraft and could make out it was a middle aged gent pilotting it !! 8x42 are a good all rounder in my opinion and I would recommend these.

I have always bought at the cheaper end of the market and have enjoyed bird watching but wanted to buy something that looked good and was the next step up and they didn't disappointThey come complete with sturdy case which has a hard shell to protect them, the bins are easy to use and crystal clear and very sharpe for viewing, the 10 year warranty is a nice touchYou can really tell these are proper made they feel sturdy and are going to last a long timeSo in reflection I think these are great all round bins that will give you long service

I have used these binoculars on safaris for the past year and are very impressed with them. The image quality and field of view is excellent even in low light conditions. In fact I had the chance to buy a reduced pair of Carl Zeiss ones, but after comparing both, there was no noticeable difference with the Barr & Stroud ones so kept them instead. They are easy to hold in one hand and the lens caps can be secured to the strap so you don't lose them. For the money these are great binoculars and would not hesitate in recommending anyone buying.

Bought a pair of 'used' (as good as new) binoculars. Savannah 8 x 42 from Barr and Stroud. The image is extremely clear and accurate, this exceeded my expectation. The wide angle view is one of the finest for bird- and wildlife-watching. Construction is solid and more than adequate for sturdy outdoor use. The focusing is brilliant and very convenient with the adjustment-knobs in their 'one-hand alignment'. Compliments for Barr and Stroud. I would recommend these binoculars to any-one, without hesitation.

If you're thinking of buying these Binoculars then don't think about it just do it. For the money there is nothing to touch them. I am a wildlife skipper and tour guide specialising in White Tailed Eagles and have used these bins for about a year and they are perfect for spotting these well camouflaged birds with a lovely wide angle and very clear stable image. I did have a problem with the pair I ordered but the seller was very quick and efficient with sorting out the issue.

Read loads of reviews as I wanted an all round pair of binoculars to use when walking the dog and fishing etc when I'm away in the caravan. Ended up ordering these and I was not disappointed. They arrived the next day. They are so easy to use, smooth focus wheel, soft eye covers so I can leave my glasses on. Very sharp view. I can't imagine why people would pay £1000's for a pair apart from to say " I own a pair of ........." for around £100 these are fantastic.

Bought these for an upcoming whale-watching cruise, really pleased with them. They feel nice and solid, but crucially the optics are great - bright image, wide angle and very little chromatic aberration. My friend has a pair of Minox HG 8x43 and we both agreed that the Barr & Stroud Savannah 8x42 have better optics, after doing a side-by-side comparison of the two.

Bought these bins because I cannot justify the money for Swarovski. I am a photographer and carry bins and leave them lying around and generally abuse them. However, the quality of these bins is exceptional and I am really pleased with them - focus is great and very good in low light. Worth every penny.

Optically superb, nicely balanced and a joy to handle, these are well made and feel like a quality product. Slightly let down by its mean-sized case which is too small to hold the binoculars without closing down the eyepieces each time and struggles to close with the strap attached - a bit of pain.

Bought for viewing wildlife in Namibia. Wide angle, bright, well made, robust and N2 filled. You will not find a better buy. Whilst away I had plenty of opportunity to compare these with some other brands. These are very high quality - right up there with the best. The extra wide angle is nice.

Great pair of binoculars. Didn't buy from amazon but from another supplier and these are great quality. Very sharp and bright images and they feel and look good quality. Slightly heavier than other binoculars in this range but still not a problem. Also field of view us great. Well recomended.

We have used the Savannah 8 x 42 on safari in Africa's Kruger park and were really pleased with them - particularly as we had never used binoculars before. Really good clear view and easy to adjust.

Great value for money, really pleased with the quality. No instructions in my box, after an email to the seller I received a link to a web page for instructions.

These are just the nuts anyone wanting good clear images go for it.Sometimes a wall support or similar is useful but can be hand held with not much problem.
