  • These are amazing!
Size: 10 x 30 Inches
I had narrowed down my search for some compact Nikon binoculars to 4 waterproof models. (The last thing you want is to spend $100-200 for binoculars and have them ruined by being exposed to moisture.) They were the 16013 ACULON W10 10x21, the 7486 PROSTAFF 12x25 Waterproof All-Terrain, the 8-24X25 Aculon Zoom and these 16001 PROSTAFF 7S 10x30's. Long story short, there is really no comparison - the Prostaff 7S is the clear winner. I use my binoculars for viewing wildlife, scenery and for concerts. The 7S not only feels the best in your hands because the slightly extra length and weight help keep them steady, but they are the best compact Nikons because they have the brightest image and the widest field of view. That wide FOV is really great when you are at a concert and want to see more of the band than just one player at a time. I have a full-size pair of Bushnell's and these compacts are the same 10x power and FOV but are actually a little brighter. The only negative is that on the extreme edges of the lenses they get quite blurry. But that is fairly common on compact binoculars and doesn't affect your primary viewing target. The runner-up in my test was the Aculon Zoom. At the standard power of 8x they were nearly as bright as the 7S and they stayed bright up to 12x, but after that the brightness greatly diminishes up through their 24x power. The zoom function is pretty cool but the image is very dim at the higher ranges. What I didn't like about them is that the native power is only 8x (a 25% difference from 10x) and the FOV was so narrow I felt like I was looking through a telescope. That plus the shiny exterior finish is so slick I felt like they were going to slip out of my hands every time I used them. Also a minor inconvenience is that you sometimes have to refocus when you zoom. In third place was the 7486 PROSTAFF 12x25 All-Terrain's. This was actually a surprise to me because they are the ones I thought I'd like best. But they had many problems. Their somewhat fat shape is awkward in the hands. The image was noticeably darker than the 7S or Aculon Zoom. And although I thought the 12x power would be an advantage, it is actually a negative because with such a small shape they are difficult to hold steady. They also have a much narrower FOV than the 7S. Lastly, the strangest thing to me was when I looked through them and then removed them to view the scene with my naked eyes I was cross-eyed for a moment while my eyes readjusted. This was very annoying and I believe it is due to the Porro prism design they use to make them more compact, which has a jog in the light path through each barrel. The Roof prism design used in the 7S lets the light go straight through, resulting in a brighter image and not having to adjust your eyes. Lastly, the Aculon W10's are a "get what you pay for" product. Good power at 10x, same as the 7S, but much dimmer image and narrower FOV. But if you were looking for something extremely light and small enough to carry in your purse or pocket, these would be great. Bottom line, the Prostaff 7S 10x30 binoculars are the best bang-for-the-buck. They are the perfect size, have the widest clearest brightest view, and they are the perfect power to get close to your subject without having a problem holding them steady. ... show more

  • Far exceed all expectations for the price

These are an excellent choice for general purpose binoculars. They are very comfortable and easy to focus - the best I have ever used. The color rendition is simply extraordinary - I am glad I paid a little more to get the latest model. They look sturdy and fully waterproof. A personal note on size. I was tempted to try another 10X50 like my Bushnell (which have a columniation issue), but decided that 10X was simply too hard to hand hold. I have always used 7X50 for marine use (this is the highest magnification you can use on a boat under way), but for use on land I wanted a little more magnification but lighter. 8X is good, and these are not heavy. I expected a significant loss of brightness at only 42, but these lenses far outperform the others I have used and I have been very pleased in low light. And the prism design makes these unexpectedly compact - porro prisms (the ones you expect to see) are bulkier. The twist-out eyepieces provide excellent variable eye relief for us with eye glasses or not, which is great for me. The main focus adjustment works really smoothly and is in the perfect place. The right eye focus adjustment is a little odd - a ring hidden against the body that is a little stiff, but works well and you are not going to change it by mistake. There are minor problems. The eyecup design works great in daytime, but does not entirely exclude light from the coming from the side, and thus at night with extraneous light from your side you need to cup your hands around them - I only noticed this because these are otherwise good at night. And the lens caps are strange. The front lens caps are thin, small and fit into the lens socket - not a good plan. These lens caps are supposed to attach to the strap by clamping on with a thin piece of slit rubber, but only one will stay on the strap - this is a really stupid attachment system. The rear lens caps are hooked together - very odd looking but effective and they do stay on the strap. The carrying case is nice - very tight so the strap must be folded on the side, not crammed into the bottom. There is no case strap which I would use hiking with the binoculars to protect (I suppose you could use the binocular strap through the side of the flap). They look rugged, but a little padding can be a very good thing. I suggest anyone buying even mid-priced binoculars research eye relief. This is a major issue especially but not entirely with anyone wearing glasses, and few have enough for eye relief for proper use with glasses (that is why my compact binoculars never worked well). Relative brightness is useful, although high end binoculars should outperform others with the same rating. The Nikon site has pretty good explanations of these and other factors, which narrowed down my selection tremendously. So, my Bushnells are being retired - one pair where the rubber eyecups failed and Bushnell would not and in fact could not replace them (not covered under warranty, no parts), and the other due to a columniation issue with no way to adjust them. ... show more
