 overrated August 30, 2008
Bought these after the glowing reviews for a gift. They were not the caliber I expected from the reviews. Bulky and heavy. Optics good but you have to press your eyes very close to the viewers to see well, and I felt there was not enough of a wide angle to justify the bulk.
Spend some more $ if you can do so and invest in about a $250-$400 pair-- I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for--you'll be a lot happier.
Thanks to Amazon and their great return policy!
 Husband Is Very Impressed August 2, 2008
Got these as a gift for my hubby and he's really happy with the quality and clarity of these Nikon Action Binoculars. He was worried we'd have to spend a fortune to replace some very old Bushnell ones he'd lost, but he's pleasantly surprised. Says these are better and we're glad we ordered them!
Just What I wanted! July 5, 2008
I love my 8x40 Nikon Binoculars. It brings objects in so clearly and concisely. I live on 34 acre property with lots of trees and enjoy watching the birds and the deer, etc. I have tried other binoculars but none compare to this one.
 Excellent low-cost binoculars June 25, 2008
Just a nice product, that lives up to the Nikon name. Not overweight, it's well-balanced and a good combination of size, magnification, light-gathering objective lens size, and clear optics. It even has well-designed lens caps. Very satisfied with this product.
Best pair of binoculars I tried regardless of price! May 20, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I know nothing about binoculars (I didn't even know what 8 x 40 means!) but wanted something to replace the old binoculars I inherited from my dad who purchased his pair 45 years ago. They were very heavy and very large and when watching birds in my back yard feeder they got very heavy very quickly.
I started out by going to the store and trying every single pair of binoculars they had starting with the most expensive since I thought, well, they must be the best. And they had some very expensive ones there with image stabilizers and laser range finders and who knows what all else.
The sales guy was very patient (he was from a different dept and didn't know anything either) and even looked with me through each and every one. We were amazed to find that the Nikon Action 8 x 40 were the absolute best of the batch they had in the store including the ones that cost hundreds of dollars. They seemed to be the right balance of view, sharpness and brightness.
When I got them home I found them to be brighter, sharper, and clearer and slightly lighter then my dad's old binoculars. As a bonus because of the rubberized coating I found I could lean the front of them against the window and stabilize the view and support some of the weight. The old ones were metal and I didn't feel as comfortable scrapping them against the window.
I can't comment on the neck strap and I will never use it because of my bad back. I found that hanging anything around my neck caused my back to ache so I hand carry them if I take them anywhere but I mainly use them from the window looking into the back yard or carry them in our SUV.
I also like the fact that one set of the eye cups are joined together allowing me to pull them both off at the same time. I wish the other end was this way. Anyway it's one step less then pulling all 4 off the old set.
In closing I highly recommend at least for backyard birding and the price is amazing!!
