Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8x30mm Binoculars, Brown Hat, Lens Pen & Gritr Microfibre Kit - High-Magnification Wide FOV Waterproof Fogproof Binocular with Multilayer-Coated Clear Lens

I have been waiting a while to buy smaller 10x30 binoculars; I have most of the other sizes. There are so many small binoculars out there and most are not worth the money, even at 20 dollars. However Nikon came out with 10x30 binoculars with fully coated lenses and I imediately bought them. Lens are everything and fully coated lens and prisms are the only ones worth buying. The most important part of the Binoculars are coatings and the type lenses and prisms used. When lense are coated they are suddenly good in dim light, you can see things more sharply and clearly as if you were looking through an open window. Nikon PROSTAFF P7 10x30 have all the attributes of very good binoculars. The focus dial is smooth and easy to move. The binoculars are the right size not too small or big and they weight is not noticeable around your neck. They are great in dim light. Sunset brings brighter views in everything you are looking at. Looking at the moon is spectacular. I just competeda 2 mile hike through the woods. The binoculars were hardly noticed. Every view was perfect in shade or sunlight. I use most 10x30 because birds get bigger and small details are at there best. Focusing with these binoculars is smooth an easy. If you rather have 8x30 binoculars you don't need to focus at all, because everything is in focus. Buying quality binoculars that are sharp and clear will make using them fun. The price for these binoculars are at a very good. They are waterproof and safe to take outdoors no matter what the conditions.

Great little set of binoculars, very clear and light. Pretty small if you have big hands. Kinda pricey, but worth it. Cheap neckstrap and lenscaps. You'll need to upgrade those.

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.

Very clear, simple to adjust, easy to store and pack. Very good for the price.

For the money, the P7 10x30 is (overall) and excellent value. I have a couple of design reservations but they're not necessarily show-stopper issues. Optics are very good. Color is also quite good. Could use a bit more light transmission in low-light conditions. I would not recommend these for any low-light usage. Ideally, I would use these in sunny conditions only. The lower transmission actually helps reduce the glare in sunny conditions. Optics do have some distance limitations. These are best under 10 miles. Optical clarity reduces after about 5 miles but it's very subtle. After 10 miles, it's more noticeable. Construction quality is good. The rubber armor isn't as good as the new Monarch M7 armor. The softer armor on the P7 allows for more fingerprints and oils to be picked up. It's not as bad as the older Nikon armor though which was very soft and wore down a bit quicker. My biggest gripe: the eyecups do not securely "lock" at their maximum distance. If you wear eyeglasses then this won't affect you. The slightest pressure will push in the eyecups. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the overall viewing. It's just annoying. I don't have this issue with my Monarch M7, Leica or Zeiss binoculars. Minor gripe: the overall size is a bit large for a 10x30. They're not heavy but not exactly lightweight. I think they could have been more compact. Again, these are very good for the price. If you're on a budget then I can highly recommend these. These would be very good for boating or camping/hiking. However, if you need something for hunting or low-light conditions, then I'd suggest moving up to a Monarch M7 10x42 model. I personally haven't tried the Nikon Monarch M7 10x30 but since it's nearly the same price, then I'd just buy the 10x42 model. You'll get more light gathering and an excellent binocular.

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.

Great Choice. Love 'em!
