Review: Awesome!!!! - Let me start by saying that I'm a begginer astronomer and that these are my first and only binoculars. I bought them so I can watch the stars and the moon on my camping trips. I wanted to start by getting the best 10x50s I could get so my trips would be light and also cause I'm starting getting to know the sky. I researched on every forum and read every review about a ton of binos. At first I was leaning towards some Celestron binos or maybe some other well known brand...but my dad owns a dslr by Nikon and it's reliability cannot be denied...so I bought them. The wait was long because I live in South America and I had to figure out how to import these binoculars, so I was obviously thrilled when they arrived. The product is pretty rugged and sturdy. Nikon makes some excelentent lenses and I was immediately satisfied. Let me carify something before I get to the important part. These aren't heavy nor light...but stand right in the middle. The reason I say this is because when I first looked at the moon, I found trouble to get a steady hold of the binos, so I would really recommend a tripod adapter. If you buy these for any other reason like birdwatching or hunting, I would say that they are light enough, but leaving in the middle of the equator makes it hard to get a steady image. The first night I got them I was astonished observing my city, unfortunately the sky was filled with clouds. As time went by (two long weeks), I saw the moon for the first time since I bought the binos. The sensation was pretty awesome, the image very bright and clear...no collimation...no problems at all, everything was absolutely beautiful. Yesterday was a turning point for me. The sky was clear and I could see around 13 stars with the naked eye. Then, I got my binos and i wouldn't say the sky was filled with stars because there is so much light pollution around here but I dare to say that the numbers of stars I could watch tripled. Then I grabbed my phone and checked on my space app that Jupiter was on clear sight, so I pointed the binos towards the planet and focused the image...BAAAAAAM!!! I couldn't beleive what I was watching. The planet was round. The longer I stared at it the more excited I got.... And then...I could see three of its moons. This blew me away. I can't wait to take this awesome thing to my next camping trip. My only complaint would be that the lenses covers aren't what I expected. They're don't see very sturdy but it also isn't a reason I wouldn't buy them again. I highly recommend this product, Nikon never dissapoints.
Review: It's all about the optics. - I've had several other binoculars at cheaper prices. The most recent was a highly rated 10x roof prism of about $40. But when I tried using it to not just make things look larger, but actually see detail... cheap was just not cutting it. So I got these. The difference is night & day. The cheaper roof prism ones struggled to see house fly sized details at 25 meters. These Nikon porto prism binoculars can see house-fly sized details (and more clearly) at 100 meters. The low light performance is also dramatically better. You can look at craters on the moon with them, and then slide the focus knob a bit, and see a bug crawling on a leaf in the moonlight in the foreground. And porto prisms have naturally better "3D" visuals, since the objective lenses are further apart. These are heavy though, I'd recommend an aftermarket strap. Also, 10x is a bit shakey if you don't rest your elbows on something. I'd say 10x is at the upper limit of usability for hand-held use of binoculars without a rest to stabilize it. One could make an argument for getting these in 8x if you're going to use them by hand in the field a lot. But I like them. Durability seems very solid, though I haven't exactly drop-tested them or anything. The rubberized coating is very securely fitted. The focus knob hasn't become loose with use, like in many cheaper binoculars. Despite the visually purple tint of the objective coatings, color quality is very accurate. If you want more compact and light weight than the 8x version of these, I'd just get a quality monocular instead of binoculars. You're better off sacrificing stereoscopic vision than optical clarity. You get what you pay for. If you want to actually see crisp detail through your binoculars, you're going to need to spend over $100. I can't say how these compare to every brand out there, but I think it would be difficult to significantly out-perform these without a much larger budget. And while roof prisms have made strides in becoming better, AT BEST they can only equal a cheaper porto prism, and with less 3-D visual effect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for a binocular that is exceptionally good in low light to watch feeding owls at dusk and after.  How do these 10x 50's perform?**
A: Good low-light performance is almost entirely dependent on the magnification and diameter of the lens. From this you can derive exit pupil diameter and twilight factor which are both important for low-light viewing. These binoculars have an exit pupil of 5mm (50mm lens / 10x magnification), which is close to as wide as human pupils get (~7mm in total darkness). The twilight factor for 10x50mm binoculars are about as good as it gets while still having the magnification and size low enough to avoid excessive shaking of the image from your hand movement.

Many people will try to talk about light transmission as important for low-light, but keep in mind that almost all decent Porro lens binoculars that cost more than $100 or so will have light transmission greater than 80% across most of the visible range. The difference between 80% and e.g. 95% light transmission has a rather small effect on perceived brightness, and really shouldn't be an important factor in choosing your optics. Blue light transmission is more important in low light conditions, and some binoculars have significantly lower or higher transmission in that region of the light spectrum, but still these binoculars have been spec'd at >75% transmission for blue. Keep in mind that the difference in brightness between 95% and 75% transmission is approximately equivalent to the brightness difference between one minute and the next minute during the time between sunset and dusk.

**Q: The specs say this product weighs 4.8 oz but some of the reviews complain of the weight. Just how much do these binoculars weigh?**
A: Weighed in at 36.68 oz and another 5.5 oz for the case and strap. (approx 2.6 lbs all in)

**Q: Will the 7245 be good for bright moon or star observations. There has been some reviews that state the lenses will distort on a full moon.. ???**
A: Actually I use these to observe the moon and they are wonderful. I certainly do not notice any distortion and can see many dozens if not hundreds of moon craters and the image is bright and razor sharp.  I can also easily see the Galilean moons of Jupiter with these.  Jupiter is visible in the early nighttime right now.  The Galilean moons can be clearly seen with these binoculars hand held but for a steady image I highly recommend a heavy tripod with a binocular adapter. The 7245 of course has built in threading for a tripod binoculars adapter.  I was so surprised that such celestial objects are clearly visible with these. Highly recommended.

**Q: On the product information section it lists batteries: 1 Lithium ion batteries required. What is this for?**
A: An error.  Batteries are only required for image stabilization, this binocular is not that type.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quality waterproof binoculars at a reasonable price
*by P***L on June 21, 2019*

Nikon Action EX 10x50 binoculars produce a beautiful, clear image at daylight, dusk or night. They feel solidly-built, weigh a hefty 34.2 oz and are waterproof and fogproof, which adds to the cost. The eyecups twist in for viewing while wearing glasses and twist out for viewing with bare eyes. These have a focusing ring and a diopter ring so you can focus left and right eyes individually. The lens caps can be attached to the included neck strap. These binoculars satisfied my requirement of 10x50 binoculars with good quality optics for beginning astronomy. While Jupiter was at opposition during June 2019, I could see Jupiter and four of its moons with these binoculars, but with my old 7x35 binoculars, I could see only one of the moons. If you don't need 10x magnification, consider the Action EX 7x50 model.
