I bought these binoculars to replace my spotting scope for hunting and spotting during target shooting. I had read numerous reviews about binoculars and Nikon AE binos kept coming up as a good buy with sharp optics. So, I bought the 16x50 and I have not been disappointed. The image through the binos is sharp and clear and for the price I don't think you can go wrong. I liked these binos so much, that I also bought the 7x50 version for astronomy use. They also are a best buy.
Pros: Relatively Inexpensive, sharp image
Cons: Cheap objective lens covers
