these were a replacement for my originals whose mechanics finally wore out from use, dust, rust.

I plan to take these just about anywhere and everywhere with me to get a closer perspective on things! The beach and the mountains are easy traveling distances, so the binoculars will come in handy to better see foliage, wildlife and areas unreachable yet viewable things. Sporting events will also be enhanced!

Replacing a pair that I had bought 12 years ago and at the time they were the cats meow (paid about $115). Have brutalized these poor binoc's whitetail deer hunting in very challenging environments and they never let me down. Have drop, smacked, -20degrees, +100degrees and boy did they help me fill my tags. But alas, this season they fell from a ledge and that was a little to much for them. So instead of returning to NIKON (most likely will in the future) I decided to buy two pairs. [...]

Very useful for birdwatching and stargazing. The only drawback is that the binoculars are a tad heavy.

Bought it mainly for variable star observing: the really wide field makes it easy to find stars and compare them with other stars. MUCH brighter and sharper images than competing models!!! Very accurate colors. No edge-of-field distortion as one review noted for the 8x40 model. Can use with glasses but the range of focus is so great I can use it without my glasses (a real bonus). A real favorite, especially at this price point. Very highly recommended!

The Action VII Series binoculars utilize a multicoated, high resolution, aspherical lens system engineered to provide an extremely clear, distortion-freeimage over the entire field of view. The advanced eyepiece design also offers substantial eye relief, which makes the binocular eyeglass compatible
The Action Series binoculars are built on an all-metal chassis and lens fittingshoused in a tough, lightweight polycarbonate body shell. The binocular bodies are ergonomically shaped, tripod adaptable and are rubber coated for an easy, non-slip grip. A new black color scheme complements the updated design of the Action Series binoculars
Like all Nikon central focus binoculars, the new Action Series features a diopter control for total viewing consistency. This control, located on the binocular's right eyepiece, is essential to compensate for common left eye/righteye vision imbalance
Nikon Action Series binoculars incorporate multi-layered anti-reflective lens coatings formulated to deliver optimum brightness, high contrast, true color rendition and flare-free viewing. The Action Series also utilizes BaK4 high index prisms for clear, round images free from vignetting
