Digital camera reviews of Nikon 7218 Action 10 X 50mm Binoculars
Digital camera Review: Use With Care
Summary: 2 Stars
These binoculars are very good in image quality, fit and finish. The case and strap it comes with is also nice, but they are not very shock proof. I don't mean rough using or deliberately being careless with these binoculars, but in normal and regular use the optics become misaligned and the image is out of the field of view or can not be focused. For the price of $81 it may sound like a bargain but I would suggest the Nikon Extreme EX series instead, Nikon 7245 Action Ex Extreme 10 X 50 mm All Terrain Binoculars as a better option for about $132. If these are more expensive, then I would suggest getting the 8x40 instead.
Replacing these after a year of use, primarily at national parks observing geographical features and wildlife, I was disappointed the optics misaligned as I wanted these to last at least 5 years at this price. If Nikon improved the shock proof capability only slightly, I would be happy to pay $100 for these binoculars.
Digital camera Review: Very pleased!
Summary: 5 Stars
We were looking for a set of binoculars to take with us on our first cruise and we were going to Alaska. We were NOT dissapointed at all.
The price was very good for the product as we did do a little comparative shopping to get the best deal. And, the shipping was quick...as usual. We shop fairly often with Amazon and are always happy with our purchases.

I don't know much about this because I gave it as a gift to someone else and they never told me anything.Digital camera Review: nice bino
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this based on reco from my friends who are into bird watching and also use it for occasional stargazing.Its really nicely made,though not made in Japan.Optics are the best.I tried stargazing (under city lights).I was able to get clear view of nebula in ORION .Moon craters are clearly visible.Can't make out rings of Saturn .I would higly recommend using tripod for using this bino ,as it is heavy for long use.Tripod adpters are availble but are pretty expensive(~$15-20 or more).I fabricated my own adapter-L-shaped).
Highly recommended.

We used these binoculars for a week on a trip to the UP of Michigan for scenery, watching freighters on Lake Superior and a few birds. They have very sharp focus and very clear. The weight was no problem. They work great with glasses however I find it easier to lift my glasses up and then use the binoculars. That is just personal. I have nothing but good to say about them. I had cheap Bushnell's and there is no comparison.
