Magnification: 10×

Objective-lens diameter: 42 mm

Prism type: BaK-7 prisms

Lens / coatings: Multi-coated lenses (“multi-coated” or “fully multi-coated”) 

Fog / moisture resistance: Nitrogen-purged to resist fogging

Eyepieces: Twist-up eyepieces for those who wear glasses

Build / other: Ergonomic design, centre focus wheel

BaK-7 prisms are lower in optical performance compared to premium prisms (e.g. higher quality roof prisms with better glass, or ED glass). This means some compromises in sharpness, contrast especially near edges, chromatic aberration.

Probably not waterproof: It is nitrogen-purged for fog resistance, but I haven’t seen IPX7 or similar waterproof rating specified. So in heavy rain or submersion, it might be vulnerable.

Exit pupil: With 10×42, exit pupil is about 4.2 mm. That’s decent, but in very low light (twilight, dawn) you’ll notice more difference vs lines with larger objectives or premium optics.

Build / lifetime: For a budget model, durability may be lower vs more premium binoculars. Coatings, housing, focus wheel might not hold up as well in harsh, long-term use.

The Bushnell All-Purpose Green 10×42 is a strong choice if you want a budget-friendly all-rounder:

• Good for general birding, wildlife during daylight, hiking, travel.

• Especially useful if you don’t always expect extreme low light or harsh weather.

• If you’re okay with moderate trade-offs (optical finesse, edge sharpness, ruggedness), it gives more than enough value.

If I compare it to the ones you mentioned earlier (Hawke Endurance ED 8×42, Bushnell R5 10×42, Tasco 10×25):

• It does better in light gathering than the Tasco 10×25 (bigger objectives).

• It’s likely less sharp/contrast than the Hawke ED or Bushnell R5 in dim light/edge performance.

• But much cheaper than those, so value per rand is high.
