Beetle_Stone: We bought these for a trip to Hawaii, and they were a lot of fun to have. We used them to see whales several times, quite a treat. Also great for hikes and to see waterfalls, scenic stops, etc. They were amazing at the live volcano! We used them every day and they are an excellent deal. A friend had the same kind for bird watching and I liked them right away: nice bright image, easy to focus, steady image... a great pair of binoculars.

Amazon Customer: These binoculars are the best I have ever used in regard to my eyeglasses; I can actually use them with my eyeglasses which I have not been able to do with others I have tried. They're not super light or especially easy for me to hold with my arthritic hands but not too bad. I bought these to use for backyard birdwatching and they're perfect for that; I am very happy w them. These binoculars are not the very best you can buy but for the money they are a good value and I would buy them again. I do feel like that I should not have had to pay extra for the "bundle", which included a case and a strap and a couple of cleaning mechanisms. I feel that this kind of thing should automatically come with the binoculars but I realize that these days companies look for as many ways as possible to charge extra.

IzzyLouIzzyLou: UPDATE: Ive had these binoculars for over a month and have since learned I was quite ignorant as to what fog proof meant in relation to these binoculars, which is concerning the internal fogging that can happen if moisture seeps into the binoculars. NOT fogging on outside of glass caused from binoculars going from inside cold air conditioned temp to out door warmer temp and high humidity. So I apologize for the 4 star rating I first gave. Still love my binoculars just need to try one of the products sold to help with the fogging outside of the glass, which does not occur often but of course when it does its when a bird I rarely see visits my yard and I run to get binoculars from inside and excitedly pop the caps and see NOTHING! :)

Perfect for backyard bird watching. Crisp & clear viewing, comfortable for my eyes and lightweight. Only complaint is that Nikon states that they are water proof and fog proof and they are definitely NOT fog proof, which sucks if you come straight out of your air conditioned house, see a bird and pull binoculars out of case and you can’t see a thing because it’s all fogged up. So are they really waterproof as Nikon states? I hope I...

Vicky: These are larger than I expected and heavier. I have carpal tunnel and arthritis so these tire my hands quickly at 1 lb, 4.7 oz (weighed with strap and caps on). Otherwise, they are an amazing value. The eyepiece adjustment for glasses works well it just takes a bit to learn how to position binoculars to get full view. These provide a crisp, clear view in 3D of wildlife 100s of yards away. While scanning for a red-tailed hawk, I spotted a bluebird on a fence post I would not have noticed otherwise because the blue stood out so well in the field of view. These are one of the top rated budget binoculars on Audubon's site and they are well worth the $116. The average bird enthusiast should be pleased with them.
