Pros: solid build lightweight better than expected imaging. A great bargain when comparing price to usability. Cons: Case not waterproof. Neck strap Overall it?s what I needed and I?m very happy with it except for case. Bought for hiking and birdwatching

I got to use these when a stranger at the Grand Canyon offer them to me to see a spot at the bottom of the canyon. I couldn? believe the focus and clarity on such a compact binocular. My sons gave me a gift card to Adorama for Fathers Day and I bought them. Great for any use. Highly rated for bird watching.

Bought this product as a gift to my 10yr. old granddaughter who is a new birdwatcher. They are perfect for her - light weight, easy to focus, ap- propriate magnification, with a wide field of view. These would also be good for adults. Economically priced; and a great value. I could not be happier with this purchase.

These are my first binoculars ever and I am so impressed! The instruction booklet made it very easy to adjust them. Now I just want to look at everything through them. They're so clear. I'm so amazed. They also feel very nice and high quality. I would recommend these to other amateur hobbyists like myself!

Very powerful and clear. It is definitely strong enough to reach out and see the things you can barely notice with the naked eye. We look forward to find some wild life when we travel out west this summer.

Great product and good wonderful customer service. These binoculars are high quality and a lot of bang for your buck. And Adorama is awesome. Happy to shop local and always feel well taken care of.

They’re clear and bright, and seem to be a good magnification for birding. And on the first outing, we got caught in the rain, so I can confirm that they’re waterproof. Also feel very stout and well built.

Nice unit for what I need. Didn't break the bank and I'm able to use it for hiking and see things clearly.

This is not my first purchase from Adorama. In fact, my first purchase, and 8-inch telescope, was made in 1988. Your professional staff, business model, reputation, and helpful customer service, has always been exceptional. I received my latest product just three days after it was ordered. I was thrilled at the condition in which it arrived, the quality of the product, and the timeliness and professional manner you continually exhibit… which is your well-earned trademark. I have recommended Adorama to dozens of amateurs, as well as professionals, who expressed interest in potential optics purchases, since 1988. Thank you, Adorama, for another positive purchasing experience.

Immediately when I look through it for the first time a large part of the view was blocked, I don't know if this is normal for this prism type but I've always used the other prism type of binocular, and I've always been able to see the view completely. I can see details and color very well with these. I will have to see if I can find a solution to this.

Excellent quality binoculars, with sharp, clear focus, and good range of vision. I use them mainly for birding and they are perfect for that purpose. They're solidly built; just a little on the heavy side for the small size, but not too heavy. I'm confident that they are durable enough to last a long time. I'm very happy with my purchase, especially for such a good price.

These binoculars are all that I hoped they would be and more! First time use was birding. Saw an American Kestrel on a tree limb across a freeway. It is one of the smallest hawks. I thought it was a HUGE hawk at first. Lol Also, saw a butterfly open its wings very close to me on the ground. Saw every detail of a beautiful blue on the top of its wings! Just note that if someone has very small hands and has to close the binoculars completely like I do (I am a woman) a Celestron tripod adapter cannot be attached. However, that is a minor issue for me.

I've purchased several pair of these since I keep on giving them away to friends. I did a lot of research before selecting these. I did not have a budget (even considered Swarovskis or Nikon Monarch 7s). After a lot of research, I found that these were as good or better than most binoculars in the $ range. Clearly there are better binoculars but, for the price, this is the best cost/quality balance. As for performance, great off center focusing, no yellow tinting from cheap coatings found in others in the price range, minimal purple fringing, great off center focus, reasonable depth of field, and extremely good clarity. Everyone should have a pair of these. Excellent.

Good clarity, nice to know they can withstand rain if I get caught out. Primary use for bird watching. Have astronomy binos but these are nice as they are lighter weight.

My first set of birding binoculars. I have been wanting some for a long time, but was overwhelmed with all the types and price ranges. Finally I read a nice review from the Cornell Labs and found these here at the best price with free shipping even. We love these binoculars, they are clear, bright, not too heavy, waterproof and easy to use. We are watching a bald eagle nest with new chicks here in our neighborhood in SWFL. I came back and bought a tripod adapter, also for the best price. great store.

These binoculars are perfect for the type of hiking and nature watching we do. We like them so much we bought another pair. Adorama delivered faster than we expected too!

A really solid pair of bins. Small enough to carry around daily but not so small that you sacrifice quality or features. It also won't break the bank. After comparing many other options I settled on these because they had everything I was looking for: waterproof, BaK4 prism, long eye relief, fog-proof, and fully multi-coated lenses. For the price (which depending on where you look, can be as long as $), with all those features, plus a carry case, strap, and objective and eye piece protectors...it was a no brainer for me. After using them for a few weeks I can confidently say that these great! I have no major complaints. My only minor issues have been: -They are a little heavy for me, so my arms get tired after awhile (but that's more a result of my puny arms). -The neck strap attachment points can dig into my hands a little depending on how I hold them. -There's slight chromatic aberration visible when focusing on far away birds against a bright background. None of those things are a deal breaker though, especially not at this price point. Overall, they are very solidly built, have a smooth zoom action, and the image quality is wonderful for everyday birding.

Great binoculars at a very modest price. Optics and construction comparable to glasses costing 3-4 times as much. I have a "good" pair of binos that cost over ($) a few years ago, and these are just as good.

Very pleasantly surprised at the quality at this price point. Solid construction, good optics. A great value for anyone wanting a good pair of binos for a modest price.

Great product. Shipping was fast. Can't wait to get back down to the Copper Canyons of Mexico with these.

Pros: Feel well-built, sharp, bright, advertised as water- proof and fog-proof, nitrogen filled, rubber-like covers for both ends, separate neck strap for binoculars as well as soft carrying case with shoulder strap, decent instruction manual and warranty. Cons: On the heavy side to me, but not prohibitively so. Note: Tried $200 Nikon and $150 on sale Occulus binoculars at Bass Pro and the Celestron was brighter than the Nikon and looked/felt like the Occulus

This is an excellent, solidly built binocular at a very reasonable price. Light gathering and image quality superior. Feel great in your hands or hanging from your neck. Perfect for birding.

Bright image, light weight, wide viewing angle, close focus, smooth focus adjustment with comfortable range, seemingly well made, excellent value, easy to recommend to friends and strangers. I'll be surprised to hear they disappoint.

Birding Binoculars
By Cookie A.
When we joined our local Audubon we had no idea how inadequate our binoculars were. Lacking funds for the more expensive brands some people carried, we researched and decided between 2 brands. Because Celestron was voted best by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, that was our choice and we are very happy with them. They are light enough to hold up for the time it takes to find and see the birds, easily adjustable, non fogging and very clear. Now we can see whiskers and eyelashes and even whether th...

This high-quality binocular is equipped with a phase-coated BaK-4 prism and fully multi-coated optics, revealing intricate image details that are often missed with other entry-level binoculars.
As a premier choice in the realm of large-aperture sport optics, the Celestron Nature DX 12x56 Binocular delivers views that rival those of more costly models, making it a cost-effective solution for those seeking superior performance without breaking the bank. The BaK-4 prism, renowned for its high quality, is phase-coated to boost contrast and resolution, ensuring crisp, clear images every time.

Featuring large, 56mm objective lenses, this binocular boasts impressive light-gathering capabilities. This allows for extended viewing sessions, even in dim light, where smaller binoculars may fall short. For added convenience, this model is tripod adaptable, providing stability for those longer viewing sessions.
The 12x56 model offers the highest magnification available in the Nature DX binocular range, allowing you to get closer to your subject, even when observing from considerable distances. This makes it not only an excellent choice for wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and outdoor sports but also a reliable option for casual astronomical viewing.
