I received my Celestron Eclipsmart 10x42 binoculars yesterday from B&H Photo. (they were $59, so got free 2 day shipping) I just checked out the sun, and was able to see my first sunspot. It looks like they've bumped the price up to the usual $69 now.

This is a reasonable facsimile of what I see through them, a round globe with a very distinct dark dot just right of top center. I don't see the lighter areas around the sunspot.
