The prodeuct description said that a soft case was included. It was not. The unit is encased in a plastic molded monster that degrades from a Nikon brand product and is hard to open

Compact

I guess it is kind of ironic that most people use their binoculars to observe the beauty of nature, whilst the binoculars that you are looking through have done their bit to damage the very thing that you are looking at.

Still in two minds over these

smallish; not horrifically expensive; sharp image

slight colour fringing; a bit cheap looking; hard and uncomfortable eye cups for non glasses wearers

Has reviewed 8x25 with. It is small and handy with good performance for the price. Optics are not in the top and the size of course gives less light emitting. Predicted 8x because 10x became daring. 8x also felt a little sharper.

We find the Nikon EX DCF 10x25 a good pair of binoculars. While we have only had them for a short time, they appear to have good quality lenses and frames. The thing that attracted them to us was the folded size, very important for travelling.

My 10x50 binos broke and I had to replace them fast since I was going out to a hiking trip. These don't give the same image quality but that's more than compensated by these being lot smaller and lighter. The price was a fraction of my broken and heavier 10x50 binos.

Having the 8x42 configuration I purchased these to take advantage of the compact size and wide field

Compact; bright; wide field of view

Image is not as sharp as comparable sized Minox HG or Nikon SE

Needed to replace a set of compact binoculars my wife uses at concerts/theater. These provide improved magnification while retain a wide angle view that similarly priced competition cannot match. Clear image, easy to focus.

Close Focus; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction; Works Well With Glasses

Bulky

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Compact; Great Clarity; Lightweight; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction

I got this product for my son. He loves them and so do I. They are easy to hold and are very clear closeup and far away. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!!!
