Celestron - Nature DX 10x42 Binoculars – Ideal for Birding and Outdoors – 42mm Objective Lenses – 5.8° Field of View – BaK-4 Prisms – Fully Multi-Coated – Waterproof and Fogproof

I wear glasses and have far more experience with rifle scopes. That being said what little bird watching i have done along with squirrels and other botanical looking about it seems to have a pretty darn clear sight picture with spot on focus and fairly good color. You can spend more for some ED glass. However i am on a budget & if i am shelling out $$$ for ED optics it is going to be for a camera lens as 8 of 10 times i will be switching to a camera & i do not hunt or even target shoot any more so binoculars are what i am carrying with my camera. I have owned just a few cheap binoculars and used a few others and these seem to be the best i have used in this size class and yes some lower power with VERY close focus and better glass. Everything is a cost and quality compromise & i would say these are a very solid choice for serious nature watching and even come close to being pretty good for looking at the moon, but that's what my 15x70 are for. I am a big person though and the weight is no issue though for some people who plan on all day use a less heavy set of binoculars or better glass if these are more integral to your plans for them. For me though i like the power and eye relief & seemingly rugged construction and the light transmission seems quite good as well as i have not noticed many serious light issues and without going into much boring detail i have used some rifle scopes & binoculars that are much worse as well as camera lenses though most of those are far better and cost much more. Bottom line you might get lucky with some more obscure brand and find a better buy, but i have found like with everything else you should do your own research. Or you can just take the recommendation of bird watchers who say these are good and just buy these and see if they are what you want. The reason you have so many choices is that preferences in optics can be quite individual. So whatever you choose i wish you sucess in finding what is best suited to your needs.

I have been needing a new pair of binocs for a long time, yet every time I "looked" into them... the price tag of good ones scared me off. Well thanks to Amazon's sale the other day, I finally got what I needed at a good price. After reading the reviews, I knew these must be a good pair... but I was not expecting them to be AMAZING! I kid you not, these are incredible.... & they are truly the perfect pair of binoculars for me...as they are just right in every regard... They are powerful enough to get face to face with whatever you are looking at, yet not too big & heavy so that the image becomes hard too stabilize. And any smaller, they would not be powerful enough... and the green color is spot on for me...like I said, they really are perfect. I have never seen such a clear image in ANY binoculars...ever. That's not to say I am an "expert" in bino's... but I have seen enough to know exceptional quality when I see it. There is just something about them, that makes looking into the forest on a sunny summer day magical...as the image seems to be in HD, like it has extra clarity... it really is something that has to be seen 1st hand to fully understand what I am trying to impart. I am glad I waited so long to get a pair.... as these were worth the wait! The Celestron 71333 Nature DX 10x42 is a solid 5 star general... highly recommended.

Excellent glass but the eyecups fell off and had to be reglued.

Really good quality. The 12X power is about the highest power I can effectively handhold, and the 56mm is still fairly bright. Image is sharp and clear. Large ocular with long eye relief means they a great for people with glasses. UPDATE: I have had these now since May 2020. and they have replaced my still perfectly good Nikon Monarch 10 X 56 binoculars (due to 2X more magnification, slightly less weight and bulk) as my GoTo binoculars. They have been on many field trips and as checked baggage on planes for Birding. They still look new, though the strap was replaced with a harness and the case is a bit worn.

I am happy with these Celestron – Nature DX 10x42 Binoculars. They collect light well and provided a clear, sharp picture. There was some color loss in strong light near sunset and they had just a little blurring near the edges of the view. I can feel their weight when hung around my neck, but would be lightweight to carry in a backpack or in a hip pack. I recommend these field glasses.

I have the 10x42 size which is good but my wife wanted a pair too so we got the 12x56. They are fantastic. The 12x56 is brighter with great magnification for birding. Even in my backyard it's not "too close" or too hard to hold. The 12x56 has a nicer strap than the 10x42. Tip: Put it around your neck with one arm through. Then it is like a sling to the side. More comfortable that way and easy to use. Very high quality. Firm controls, not flimsy in any way. Works good with my glasses (there's a turn adjustment knob.) Comes with a nice case and covers for both sides of the binoculars.

Clear picture, easy controls to adjust, very sturdy & comfortable to hold. Not super light but not clumsy. I’m sure that these are an incredibly good price for what you are getting

Great product, very clear and easy to adjust. I bought as a replacement to some old Nikon ones I had which were fantastic but almost 10x the price. I was pleasantly surprised at how compact these binoculars were and how clear the image was. They're durable with a lovely matte green finish which is easy to keep clean. I've had these on blustery walks in the rain and had no issues, I've also been to the beach and it's done a great job of keeping dust out of the essential areas which would usually hinder their performance.

These binos perform even better than my Nikon ones, they are clear and light weight. Quality is amazing.

Arrivato un giorno prima del previsto, in un imballaggio impeccabile. Completo di cinghie per la tracolla. Robusto, compatto, luminoso e nitido, quel tanto che basta per un appassionato di natura, non professionista del settore. Entrambi gli oculari possono essere messi a fuoco separatamente. Forse un po' pesante, ma ne vale comunque la pena.

Excellent binoculars with manificent optics. Definitely recommended for birding.

Fue un regalo pero a la persona le encantó
