NIKON PROSTAFF P7 8x42mm Binoculars - High-Magnification Wide FOV Waterproof Fogproof Binocular with Multilayer-Coated Clear Lens, Locking Diopter - Wildlife Nature Observation Optic (16772)

These are excellent, especially if you wear glasses. I did a lot of research between these and the Vortex, and am happy I went in this direction because of the long eye relief. Much easier to see through than my Celestron Nature DX (no black circle FOV). If you are waffling on your next purchase and you're in the ~$200 price range, these are the ones you want. Bright, clear, and great for people with glasses.

I Read several reviews online saying these P7 Prostaff binoculars were a top entry level pair for bird watching. I don't know a lot about binoculars but these fit my eyes well. I am able to get a very sharp focus on almost any object from 20 ft to 200 ft away. It has eye cup and lens cover caps and a very nice soft case. I'm an amateur bird watcher but I'm very impressed with this binocular. It seems very high quality at a reasonable cost.

Very nice. Light. Good quality. I like the the oculars click stop option, for with/without glasses. Nice and comfortable.

This was my first pair of binoculars for my first safari. I bought the P7 8x42mm model because I read it offered a brighter, more detailed view—especially in low light—compared to the compact P7 8x30mm. I ended up doing most safaris during clear early mornings or late afternoons and wished I had chosen the smaller, lighter 8x30 model for comfort (it’s about ¼ pound lighter). For reference, I’m female, 5’4”, 140 lbs. That said, the clarity and detail of the 8x42 binoculars are absolutely superb! I could see every detail on the animals from afar—their eyelashes and skin texture—as if I were right next to them. If weight isn’t a major concern for packing, these binoculars are fantastic!

Pros: 1. Great Nikon optics 2. Very comfortable to hold 3. Eyecups "screw" in/out to adjust - neat feature - and very comfortable 4. Lightweight 5. Diopter is "lockable" which is a nice feature 6. Adequate strap and case are included 7. Water and oil repellant 8. Great value for the money imo Cons: 1. Sad that Nikon, a Japanese optical company, has binoculars made in China. 2. Right diopter is VERY difficult to unlock and adjust. Nice feature if only one person uses them, but if shared with others, kind of a pain to unlock/relock and adjust for each person.

Great Choice. Love 'em!

Gifted to my sister and she loves them, actually is using them regularly to watch the wildlife in her backyard. The anti-fog is awesome exiting from the A/C to Houston’s humidity. She can focus on the hummingbird birdfeeder close to the back porch or the ones way out in her 1 acre yard that feed the cardinals, blue jays, and squirrels!

Extremely nice budget binoculars. Excellent for bird watching. I tried several other brands and models of this brand and these performed the best. Colors are crisp. Almost as good as the M5 model at about half the cost. Would definitely recommend.

It great, very clear Colour and accuracy are great

Excellent quality and compact size, amazing field of view for the magnification (10x42)

I recently purchased the Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8X42 Binoculars, and I am extremely impressed with their performance. These binoculars are incredibly clear and provide sharp, vivid images that make wildlife viewing and even stargazing a delightful experience. The lightweight design makes them easy to carry around, and the robust build quality ensures they can withstand outdoor use without any issues. One minor drawback is the presence of some chromatic aberration in certain sunny situations. However, this does not significantly detract from the overall fantastic optical quality these binoculars offer. Overall, I highly recommend the Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8X42 Binoculars for anyone looking for high-quality, durable, and easy-to-use binoculars for outdoor activities.

The old Nikon Prostaff P7S (with an "S") have became the classic hunting binoculars. Hunting is not birding. If you are serious stalking, you will beat your binoculars. That is why nobody carries Swarovski Habicht for hunting, because chances are that you will break them while hunting. That is why you want medium priced binoculars. That is why I purchased these new Nikon Prostaff P7 (without "S"). I am impressed by their luminosity at the beginning and at end of the day. In size, weight and appearance, they are very much the same as the equivalent modern roof binoculars that you can find in the market nowadays, thus I am using an original rigid EVA case from a highly respected German brand for these Nikon Prostaff P7 8x42 binoculars and they fit like a glove. Of course, the optical quality of these binoculars is not the same level as the Nikon Monarch series or the German brands, but they costs less than half of the price too. In my opinion, the quality is enough to go hunting with them.

These binoculars are truly remarkable for birdwatching enthusiasts, offering outstanding clarity and precision that elevate your birding experience to the next level.
