Great pair of binoculars for the price.
(5 out of 5) by Todd on Oct 4, 2005 (Massachusetts USA)I was looking for a medium-powered pair of binoculars for back yard astronomy. I had picked up a pair of Bushnell 10X50's for a few dollars less than the Nikon's and I was disappointed with the quality (there was something wrong with the optics... could not get them to ever completely focus). I promptly returned them and picked up these. What a difference! They were much clearer than the Bushnell's, and the focus is extremely sharp in the center. I take them out just about every night and they offer me a great view of the sky. If you're looking for a good all-around pair of binoculars that's worth more than what you're paying, look no further!

Great Binoculars
(5 out of 5) by S. Stoessel on Sep 9, 2005 (Niskayuna, NY USA)These are wonderful binoculars. Rugged, and easy to use, these binoculars have great clarity, as much magnification as you can get without spending thousands of dollars, and come with a 20 year guarantee from one of the best optic producers in the world. You really can't go wrong on this one.

worth the money
(4 out of 5) by E. Engelhardt on Oct 9, 2005 (NY)I know these are a fraction of the cost of some binoculars but for amateur use the Action series are fine for everyday viewing. The Nikon name also means a lot and considering that it comes with the tripod mount, they are well worth the money.

Excellent for the average user
(5 out of 5) by Jagadeesh K. Venugopal on Jul 1, 2007I purchased this product as last year's Christmas surplus at a very good price, but even at the list price it is a worthwhile buy.
Image quality for most average uses is excellent (you would invest in something much more expensive if you were a serious hobbyist). The advantage of this pair is that it is well made, and serves the purpose over a range of multiple uses (backyard birding, airplane spotting, landscapes, etc). And at the price point, if the kids drop it into the water, not a huge loss.
The unit is made well with excellent fit and finish, worthy of the Nikon name. I would recommend unhesitatingly for family use.

Nikon quality
(5 out of 5) by C. Church on Apr 4, 2007 (West Hollywood, CA United States)Quality optics and solid construction, as I would expect from Nikon. Good binocs for basic astronomy. Smaller diameter of the light exiting to the eye is better for old eyes.
