The Prostaff P7 series provides some nice features: bright, crisp images; fancy prism coatings, water- and oil-resistant coatings on the exterior lenses; rubber armor and locking right eye adjustment. I chose the 8x42 over the 10x42 mainly because the eye relief is larger (5.25 mm vs. 4.2 mm), and this made it much easier to obtain a clear, stable image from the binoculars.Both of these P7 models exhibit some purple/green fringing, which is only really noticeable along very sharp, high contrast visual edges under relatively bright lighting. The case and lens covers are usable but nothing fancy.For context, I am an amateur photographer with experience using a wide variety of lenses. My main interest in these binoculars is general wildlife observation.

These are fantastic! I bought them primarily for concerts since I can’t afford floor seats right in front. I was in the 2nd to last row at Kia Forum to the side of the stage and these let me see everyone’s face crystal clear. Easy to use. 3 of us were sharing them -2 wearing glasses, me wearing contacts- and super fast to adjust to everyone’s vision and comfort. I’ll be using for outdoor adventures as well, but so glad I don’t have to pay a lot of money for a concert and rely on jumbo screens to see the details chosen by the camera operator.I did order a cheaper pair of lightweight, different brand with good reviews online, but they were not comfortable and not as clear when I went in store to pick them up. I had time to check out these while I was there and bought ... MoreThese are fantastic! I bought them primarily for concerts since I can’t afford floor seats right in front.

I bought these as a first pair of binoculars after reading great reviews about them online.They are well made and looking through them is great, I have been using them to identify garden birds and ducks on the local reservoir. John Lewis had the best price online by far and delivery was prompt.I would recommend these binoculars and would recommend buying from John Lewis.

These Nikon Binocs were purchased for bird watching. They have excellent clarity and superior eye relief. The left ocular has enough adjustability to accomodate large differences focal distance between the left and right eye. Thought the 8 x 42 magnification gathers slightly less light than 8 x 30 it is not very noticeable in use in broad daylight or during early or late light. The field of view is smaller than 8 x 30 so scanning is not as efficient; however, the greater magnification makes identification of small details of feather patterns easier to discern. These are fairly light weight, easily packable and I am very happy with their performance. I was lucky enough to purchase them on sale at REI and consider them and excellent value for the price paid.
I was looking for something a litter smaller and lighter than my Nikon Monarch 5 8x42, for bird watching and hiking but didn't want to sacrifice image quality. I wear glasses, so I needed an exit pupil larger than the 3.2 on my Bushnell 10x32s and a long eye relief so I can see the whole field of view. The Nikon 8x30 delivered on both. I am a discerning optics user and I was pleasantly surprised at the field of view, sharpness and color rendition of the Nikons. They are great! Personally, I find 10 power binoculars hard to hold steady and I am completely satisfied with the 8x. Beware of pocket binoculars with small objective lenses (25mm or less) if you want a sharp image. They seem hazy by comparison. The front objective lens covers do not have a tether, but they ... MoreI was looking for something a litter smaller and lighter than my Nikon Monarch 5 8x42, for bird watching and hiking but didn't want to sacrifice image quality.

The front objective lens covers do not have a tether, but they have a slot where you can attach some kind of retaining cord if that is an issue for you.I used a 20% off member coupon at the winter sale, because this was the only Nikon binocular not marked down and they are a great value at the sale price. They were delivered to my house 2 days earlier than originally estimated, which was a pleasant surprise.
To be clear – I am definitely a newbie when it comes to binoculars. I know how to use them, but I don't have a lot of experience with different brands.With that in mind, these binoculars feel awesome and are super easy to use! I was looking for something we could use around our yard, occasionally take on short hikes, and for the upcoming total eclipse (don't worry, I also bought solar filters).As a newbie, I was able to immediately tune these in right out of the box. They feel great in your hands, and the weight feels just right for prolonged looking. To my eyes, the optics are also super crisp. Overall, they feel high quality, and I'm excited to use them in April!
I went to B and H with a list of mid-rage binoculars to investigate for use birdwatching. The salesman Emmanuel was very patient and knowledgeable. He recommended the Nikon Prostaff P7, which wasn't even on my list. He described it as a great value for the money and I totally concur! It has a 378 foot field of vision, which is more than adequate for me and have features found in higher end binoculars including being waterproof and fog proof. In low light, they brighten the area better than some of the more expensive binoculars I tried. They have performed very well in the field. Highly recommend these nocs!!
I want a smaller, lighter pair of binos for an upcoming trip to the jungle. I just receive these and the Vortex 8x32 as I couldn't make up my mind without trying them. These are clearly better for me. A little bigger than the Vortex but feel better in my hands and to my eyes. I've only tried them in the house but they are sharper, let in more light, and seem to actually have a slightly larger field of view, which doesn't compute with the specs. I'm keeping these.
I bought this binocular for stargazing. The construction is good. I like the eye relief, the click up eyeshields, and the ability to lock the diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece, once it is set. The case is a bit flimsy, but satisfactory. It can be closed with the eyeshields in extended position.The binocular is easy to hold and light, making them pleasant to use. I'm happy with the optics and coatings. Jupiter is very bright at the moment, but it resolves to a bright defined disk without the starburst effect. I'm looking forward to trying this binocular out at a dark sky site.
I love these binoculars. They are the new upgrade to the prior Nikon Prostaff 7s model. Lightweight, waterproof, and crystal clear viewing. Compared to the 10x30 model, the 8x30 model has a much wider field of view and almost twice the light gathering capacity. We use them for birding and also for deer hunting. The greater light gathering capacity is very useful in the 30 minutes before sunrise and the 30 minutes after sunset.
