20X for Binoculars? you might have a hard time holding the still. Go look through some to see what you think. I've had the $50 Bushnell 10X50's before and that's what they are, a $50. pair of Binoculars. Just like a cheap spotting scope I bought, I never use it.

IMO, you'd be throwing money away.

In all honesty I think the niche you are trying to fill doesn't really exist...exactly. What I am trying to say is that if someone wants more power than the typical 10x binoculars then they usually go to a scope. If you are looking for inexpensive "Big Eyes" as higher power/larger objective" binoculars are referred to then look for some of the inexpensive porros instead of the roofs. Something like the Bushnell Legend 16x50 or maybe the Nikon Action Extreme 16x50 would be better bets than the Bushnell Powerview models.
