Reviews & Ratings for Nikon Action Extreme 7x35mm Waterproof Porro Prism Binoculars — 13 reviews — Page 1

These Nixon binoculars are actually my 2nd pair. My wife bought me a pair of 10X50 about 13 years ago and they still work as good as new. These are smaller, but still powerful enough to birdwatch, hunt with, etc. w/o any loss in quality. I highly recommend Nixon glass since every product of theirs I've used has been outstanding, these included. And shipping was very fast!

I have always been a big Nikon camera fan, and I felt very comfortable in my selection of a pair of these full size Nikon binoculars. I was not disappointed. Nikon's well known standards in the manufacturing of cameras applies to their binocular offerings as well. The Action Extreme 7X35s are well made, rugged, and have great optics. They're also waterproof, which is a great plus when using them out in the field or on the water. I highly recommend purchasing a pair of these Nikons. You will be pleased.

I bought these for wildlife watching.
They have very good grip, really WIDE field of view, very comfortable focus wheel and nice eyecups (i use eyeglasses, and its good for me). They also provided with wide neckstrap (i found it similar to my Nikon DSLR strap) and nice case. I really like fact that forward lens are deep inside and its really hard to accidently touch or hit them. The only dissapointment are covers for forward lens but I am not going to use them anyway.

I use my new Nikon 7X35's to watch bird feeder which is fairly close to my house. NOTE: object still must be at least 20 or so feet from your usual viewing spot. Works very well and decently clear.
Pros: Well made. Decent lens quality for price. Good for close up viewing lika @ bird feeder 20' away.
Cons: Not near Swarovaski quality BUT I can afford Nikon.

I bought it for astronomy, birdwatching at the backyard, airplane watching. It provides very clear and contrast picture of astronomical objects, much better than my decades old binoculars. Very good eye shades, good ergonomics and acceptable weight.
Pros: Sharp bright picture, wide view angle, waterproof
Cons: Inconvinient lens covers

Exactly what you need for the money you pay. Large field of view, good image sharpness except small lack of focusing around the borders, that you may expected because of the large angle of view. Good light and color of the image. Rubber protection of the eyepieces must be improved with less diameter and more soft material.


Pros: large field of view
Cons: nothing for the price you pay

excellent product,very well made,non-slip body,waterproof,excellent optics,excellent for eyeglass wearers.

Surprised by just how great these 7x35's worked. Instructions were good ( & needed). Heavier and bulkier than prev. cheap versions. Feels like serious hardware.
Pros: clarity
Cons: size & wt

I bought these for backyard use. I wanted a wide angle, hand-held, sky view for star-gazing (in conjunction with my tripod mounted 15x70 Celestron Skymaster). I also wanted a wide-angle view for birdwatching. Humming birds move so fast, it can be difficult to follow them. A wide-angle view is also a must for fast action/large field sports.

The Nikon Action Extreme 7x35 is perfect for these functions. I find that these have a very nice view due to depth of field, optics clarity and ease/accuracy of focusing (there is no 'play' in the focus knob).

These are not FMC but it doesn't seem to have a noticeable, negative effect.

Waterproof, fog-proof and shockproof (nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed), rubber-coated for a good grip, easy to adjust the diopter, eye-cups stay in place, excellent warranty.

I do wish that binoculars came with tethered lens covers...I always have to buy them separately.

A nicer strap would also be great (i.e neoprene/padded), but that can be purchased separately also (and some folks prefer a bino harness).

Bin manufacturers REALLY need to come up with a better way to attach straps! An 'O-ring' on the bin and snap-on attachments on the strap would be great. This would allow the user to easily switch between no strap, strap, or harness.

Are these the best binoculars available...no. But when comparing cost vs functionality...these are DEFINITELY a "best value".
Pros: Sturdy/well made, focusing knob, 3D view, sharp optics
Cons: No ...

My main gripe is the incredibly bizarre design of the bridge (which allows the lenses to open or close to adjust for the distance between your eyes). I've never been told my eyes are closer together than everyone else's but I can just barely get these things closed enough to get a clear circle of focus. They are definitely designed for people whose eyes are set far apart. Definitly won't work for a kid. In fact, if you think you're 'average' in this regard I'd be sure to check them out in a retail store before you buy them - just to make sure they will fit.
Pros: Great bang for the buck ! Very clear, crisp and sharp focus. Excellent for those for wear glasses.
Cons: Design of bridge, a little heavy
