Nikon 8x42 ProStaff 3S Binoculars - High-Powered and High-Performance Optics for Birdwatching and Nature Viewing

lori: I've always been a Bushnell person. But like everyone else I read the article from Audubon on binoculars and the reviews before buying. These things are great. They are definitely more lightweight than my Bushnells are. Nothing against my Bushnells they still great too, but we needed another pair for an Alaskan cruise. Very vivid. Like someone else said in review " if these are the inexpensive binoculars per Audubon I can't believe what the expensive ones would be like." These binoculars are very good. Haven't tried the shoulder harness thing.

mugglyn: After doing some research I picked these for a beginning birdwatcher. They are easy to use and provide a clear field of vision. Chose to purchase this product because it came with some extras for less than just the binoculars alone at the sporting good store.
Only negative is that I have no idea how the harness is supposed to work and I haven’t received an answer. So as of now that is kind of a useless piece of equipment, but the binoculars are great!
Neck strap and case are pretty basic but do the job.

Matthew T.: Great binoculars for the money. Bought them because of Audubon’s recommendation. Great for birding. Easy to quickly focus on short to mid distance. Eventually I will add a longer range binocular but these are easy and fun to use with great clarity. .

12134FRD: Bought this model based on an Audoban article listing top binos in different price ranges. Since this is our first pair for use around the house and woods behind (birds, fox, deer) we can't offer a critical review. The images in the binos are nice and bright and very sharp. I can say that this package from Focus Camera seemed like the best value for the money - including nice accessories but charging the same price others were for just the Binos. And shipping was fast and arrived nicely padded.

"Hey, was that a song sparrow or fox sparrow?"
"Neither, it was a LBB"
"LBB, what is that?"
"Little Brown Bird"

:^) That is the extent of our birdwatching right now, but maybe it will get better... Buy these Binos!

Gail L Goldberg: I was interested in binoculars that would be well-suited to birding but also do double-duty for wildlife observation. Both my husband and I wear glasses nearly all the time, and so I also wanted binoculars that worked well with glasses as well as without. Happy to say that these fit the bill in all respects, and at a very reasonable price. My only regret is that these binoculars do not allow for use of an iphone adapter to take photos--but all things considered, these were a great choice. It took no time at all during my first birdwatching class to adjust the binoculars and locate what I wanted to see.
