Clear, sharp images

I expected this would be a bit more powerful, but I suppose the product description says 12 x which looks about right. It comes in handy for hiking and the likes... I use it for spying on foxes, rabbits, birds and so on. It folds up nice and small, so it's easy pop into your pocket or bag - see attached photos. It gives a good view of the moon, you can see lot of craters that you can't see with the naked eye. Good buy, you won't find much better for this price.
