Very good view out of the binos, easy to adjust. Great all around binos for the price.

These binoculars are light to wear and give a good bright image. The eye cups screw out to allow adjustment for spectacle wearers and there is diopter correction. Focus is quick and easy to use. Image is pretty good with very slight colour fringing. For the money pretty good.

Quality binoculars with a very sharp and bright image.

These binoculars are not waterproof. I used them for 2 months (they have a warranty of 25 years, one would think 2 months would not be a problem) and they started getting foggy inside of the lens.

cheap

Not waterproof; not great optics; not as cheap as they should be

Got these for Fathers day.Wanted to watch birds. I did pinch my hand right out of the box. Went to open them to try and got my finger.

I was looking for a good birding Binocular and really wanted a Steiner Predator set, but settled on these for the better price. I did reviews from several sites for the best birding binoculars and the Nikon Monarch rated in the top ten on most sites.

I purchased this camera for my wife for excursions to the beach and state parks to view wildlife, boat, and aircraft. It is perfect for beach conditions as it is waterproof, and fog proof. It is light so we can take it on hikes with us. The 8x magnification is perfect for our use.

Compared to other top of the range binoculars, I would say that the Nikon EDG 10x42 binoculars are priced pretty well. If you take this into account with their excellent, class equalling but not class beating optical performance and their quality construction with all the features you would expect...

Cons: Admiring the classic look of a Swarovski Habicht 10x40 W we turned a blind eye to several slip-ups of that device and its average quality/price ratio. In the case of the Nikon SE we don't lose the classic look either - all those who like old, good Porro constructions will be as much enchanted...

solid construction; handy and very comfortable to hold; very high transmission; excellent whiteness reproduction; low chromatic aberration; very low coma; slight astigmatism; sharp image practically up to the edge of the field of vision; negligible light fall-off at the edge; slight flares; high...
