When I first looked through my new Nikon binocs, I was thrilled. The image in the center of the view is very bright and sharp. However, with a bit of use, limitations appear: The image is quite fuzzy starting at about 3/3 of the way to the outer circumference. Also, the focus is so precise that it requires constant adjustment. Looking at something 75 yards away will require refocusing if it moves to 80 yards.

I have not really put these binoculars through their paces yet, but so far I am very impressed. I had trouble deciding between the 8x and 10x, but ultimately went for the lower power and more compact size. The image clarity and brightness is better than I hoped for, and I have no problem keeping them steady, unlike with higher magnification. All the moving parts turn smoothly, not too stiff or too loose, and I can't see any flaws in the design or construction. No real hard use yet, but I don't expect any problems. Other reviews have commented on the eyecups breaking. They do seem a little flimsy when they are in the out position, but when screwed in for eyeglass use, they feel solid. I suppose only time will tell, but I don't see it being a problem since I wear glasses and will probably not pop the eyecups out very often. Also, the lens caps don't work, but I probably wouldn't use them even if they did. Overall, I am happy with these binoculars and would definitely recommend ...
