I wasn't expecting much from a binocular at this price point, but the bantam is surprisingly good. It's not a toy. Build quality was good, although the ocular guards were a bit loose. Focuser works smoothly. Eye relief is good and works with glasses. It is a bit finicky about eye placement to avoid beaning. The view is bright and sharp at the center. Falling off begins on the outer part of the view, but isn't too dramatic. The field of view is decent. For a child/youth it will do the job and they will love it. For Christmas or birthday they will be delighted. Adults can use it as well, if they are looking for something light with low magnification. At this price you will be hard pressed to find something better. In addition, the warranty is great if anything goes wrong.
