  • Excellent binocular. Great price.
Size: 10x42 Configuration: Binoculars
As an amateur astronomer I have long been aware of Celestron's history of (mostly) excellent optical equipment. As a result, when my wife and I first began birding about 20 years ago we purchased two pairs of Celestron 7 X 50 binoculars for about $50 each. That was not a totally "cheap" bino at that time. We were very happy with them and they lasted about 5 or 6 years. Various mechanical problems, mostly arising after we dropped them or handled them carelessly, finally made them difficult to use. The optical quality was always excellent. Since then we have gone through various other binoculars by many manufacturers at prices from $100 to $300. Because we do not always take the best care of our binos, we have never purchased any high end $2500 Leicas or Swarovskis. I recently saw the need for a 10 power binocular so my aging eyes could get up a little closer to the birds. Trusting to Celestron's reputation, as well as many good experiences with their products, (and the recent rebate), I decided on these reasonably priced Celestron Trailseekers. I have already had them out a number of times and am quite happy with their performance. The field of view for a 10X binocular is excellent. So is the close focus which will allow you to focus on a bird less than about 10 feet away--as close as most birds will allow. The focuser works smoothly, the weight is about average and the general feel of the binoculars in my hand is comfortable. As for the optical quality, these binoculars produce a bright, sharp image that shows no aberrations except possibly toward the very edge of the field--and not much even there. While they won't produce an image as nice as a $2500 pair of binos, these cost less than 1/10 as much. Unless you are used to the ultra expensive binoculars, these are an excellent compromise between quality and price. Actually, it's not really a compromise since Celestron is not compromising on the quality. They are giving you a beautifully made product with exceptional optical quality that would have cost much more, if this quality was even available, 30 years ago. Optical glass and coatings have advanced a lot in the past 20 to 30 years and we have been able to benefit with better quality and lower prices. I believe these are a good choice for anyone seeking a good performing binocular at a very reasonable price. ... show more

  • Great for casual birding
Size: 8x42 Configuration: Binoculars
I am very pleased with this purchase. The clarity, field of view, and range of view are all very excellent. The weight is not terrible and the protectors are durable rubber. Would absolutely recommend for the casual birder who is getting more serious about the hobby.

  • Amazing binoculars!
Size: 10x42 Configuration: Binoculars
The binoculars are nice, medium size, great weight, attractive, well built and are absolutely optically wonderful. The view is so bright and sharp and full. I have no issues with being steady handed or with a narrow depth of field (they don't feel narrow at all). I'm so glad I got the 10x42s and not the 8x42s. They're kinda perfect. Oh, the lens caps are a little weak. Those could be better, but who cares. ... show more

  • Good birding bins
Size: 10x42 Configuration: Binoculars
These binoculars have been great. I do lot of bird watching and the amount of clarity these bins offer is truly amazing. Very robustly built. I have had it in slight drizzle and lot of dust. There has been no issues on the performance of these bins. Colors are well rendered with no obvious purple fringing but it's there if you go look for it. For the price these have been great. The case and the harness have been great too. ... show more

  • Amazing value, incredible clarity, perfect for birding.
Size: 8x42 Configuration: Binoculars
The first time I went out birding with these , the phrase "game changer" kept popping up in my head. I'm amazed that I was able to get such a great pair of binoculars for under $200. The clarity is fantastic. The field of view is great. Using my old binoculars, it was difficult to track birds in flight. With the Trailseeker 8x42, I can do it with ease. I really enjoy being able to look closely at the details of birds. I was thinking about getting the 10x42 (my old binoculars were 10x). I decided to trust online sources that said that 8x were better for birding, and I don't regret it. I haven't found much of a difference in the 8x vs. 10x. Perhaps the quality and clarity of the Trailseekers make up for it, but I feel like I can see more details of the birds I'm looking at. It also makes it so much easier to track warblers hopping from branch to branch. I also wanted to mention the brightness. I was skeptical about how much of a difference the lens coatings would make. I went out on a cloudy day, and was pleasantly surprised when I looked through the lenses. It seems the Trailseekers allows more light in, so that the image you're looking at is actually brighter than your eyes see. Bottom line, I feel like I'm using binoculars that I would have had to pay $400+ for. These are fantastic. ... show more

  • Excellent - an outstanding value!
Size: 8x42 Configuration: Binoculars
I own four pair of binoculars - each for different purposes. I am very particular in the choosing and, of course, the proper deployment of each instrument for its purpose. With optics, you are dealing with trade-offs. Want light weight? Be prepared to give up high magnifications and wider fields of view. Want a wide field of view? you'll need to compromise on magnification. Want super powerful magnification? Get ready for some significant weight to tote around, For these reasons, althoughI am a big fan of reading and comparing numbers on the web, in order to properly purchase the right binocular you have to hold them in your hands, look through them, judge weight and eye relief along with focus speed and other factors And it helps to have an idea about what you want to bring closer and the conditions you will be doing that in. At some point, the investment in both the optics and the activities they accompany become worth the effort. These Celestron binoculars certainly fit the bill as to weight (23 oz), super wide field of view, and relative sharpness as compared to their more expensive brethren. I like the dark green color and I like the relatively long eye-relief (17mm), as well. For a 42mm objective (the larger, outer lens) they are fairly portable, feel good in the hand, and provide a clear sharp image. Taking the price and warranty into the equation delivers an outstanding value. Keepers! ... show more

I upgraded to these and wow. Crystal clear. I use them primarily for bird watching but I recently took them on a tiger safari in India and they did not disappoint!
