i have looked through dozens of those, and i do consider them a good buy. The 8x36 is better optically, sharper, brighter, cleaner views. It is very difficult to manufacture a decent 10x binoculars at that price, and the 10x36 shows it.

I'd agree - in my experience the 8x is significtantly better than the 10x. That said at the prices warehouse are selling them for both are bargains.

Well worth the money, 8x is best.

8X - from Warehouse Express, they are really good bins for the money!

Whilst I'd agree that the 8x is very slightly brighter than the 10x I couldn't detect any difference in sharpness and the 10x is hardly dull . Personally I prefer a 10x bin so went for that, for me the extra magnification is worth the fractional drop in brightness but it's really a case of on which you'd rather compromise. Both are excellent binoculars for the price.
