from both a few webstore pages, and Bushnell's own site, those "4x30"
are apparently actually 4x21.

I own the Bushnells.

They are certainly budget binos, and the objectives are tiny and do not
collect much light, but they are very light, and when relaxing in the
lounge chair, the night sky is definitely enhanced.

As a previous contributor mentioned, they only make the naked-eye view
bigger, there really isn't much additional detail, but the FOV is huge.

Another little gimmicky do-dad that I own are my Hawkeyes, which are 2X
binocular glasses. they have a FOV about the size of a dime, but they
are nevertheless entertaining, for a while... I got them for $15 on
e-bay, but I don't see them there anymore...

I'll have both of these jewels at GSSP, so stop by and borrow them if
you like...
