Digital camera reviews of Nikon 7432 Monarch 10x42mm All-Terrain Binoculars
Digital camera Review: Good luck finding better binos... at any price
Summary: 5 Stars
I set out four years ago to buy the best binoculars I could find. Price was secondary, quality was paramount. I wanted a pair of binos I could look through for long periods without eye strain. So I spent many weeks looking through Zeiss, Swarovski, Leupold, Kahle, Cabela's, Steiner, and these Nikon binos. All the glasses were in the 10x format. I spent time in the desert, at night, in the snow, and the city evaluating these binos, also soliciting input from my friends who are experienced outdoorsmen as well.
Bottom line: the Nikon Monarch 10x42 ATB won hands down. They are brighter, provide just equally sharp or better optics, show great colors, have durable construction, have an unbeatable lifetime no-fault guarantee, and are light weight and comfortable in use. These binos were equal or even better in several areas. For instance, I found that several of the high end optics had "flare" off street lights at night but not the Nikons. It was incidental to me that they cost less than $300.
Since then I have extensively used these binos for all kinds of outings and in my military job. They continue to impress. Just last week we used them for whale watching in Maui and were serving alongside a pair of Zeiss compact binos. In our party everyone was always fighting over the Nikons!
I agree wholeheartedly with "Emily Weiser's" good review as well. You will not find better binoculars out there probably at any price. You surely could pay more though. And at least in Mar 2008 the price and free shipping offered here at Amazon.com are good.
Digital camera Review: Great Binoculars
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked for a long time before I finally purchased these binoculars. I could not be more pleased with them. I use them primarily to watch my college football games. After using much smaller and lighter binoculars for many years I was worried about the larger size and weight of the Monarch ATBs. The weight is negligible and the clarity is awesome. You absolutely can't go wrong with these binoculars, especially at their low price.Digital camera Review: Great Pair of Binos
Summary: 4 Stars
All in all, a great pair for the price. Lightweight, crisp and clear viewing, and very compact for 10x50. The only downside is that the bottom lens caps don't quite fit. They are slightly too small, so they keep popping out. Will have to replace them.Digital camera Review: Great Purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these as a gift for hosting my family in Colorado. The hosts absolutely love them and have commented on the versatility....good for everything from bird-watching in the yard to watching wildlife across the valley.Digital camera Review: Great binos for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research, both online and in stores, and these are the best binoculars you can get for the money. The $[...] rebate just made it that much of a better deal.
The binos are light, compact (as you can get with a 10x42) and easy to adjust. I have a pair of Swarovski's 10x42 that I paid a LOT more for ten years ago, and these appear to be as clear as they are under normal lighting conditions. I have not had a chance to compare them side by side under low light, which is key.
For the money, you can't go wrong!
