So I got these. The difference is night & day. The cheaper roof prism ones struggled to see house fly sized details at 25 meters. These Nikon porto prism binoculars can see house-fly sized details (and more clearly) at 100 meters. The low light performance is also dramatically better. You can look at craters on the moon with them, and then slide the focus knob a bit, and see a bug crawling on a leaf in the moonlight in the foreground. And porto prisms have naturally better "3D" visuals, since the objective lenses are further apart.
These are heavy though, I'd recommend an aftermarket strap.
Also, 10x is a bit shakey if you don't rest your elbows on something. I'd say 10x is at the upper limit of usability for hand-held use of binoculars without a rest to stabilize it. One could make an argument for getting these in 8x if you're going to use them by hand in the field a lot. But I like them.
Durability seems very solid, though I haven't exactly drop-tested them or anything. The rubberized coating is very securely fitted. The focus knob hasn't become loose with use, like in many cheaper binoculars.
Despite the visually purple tint of the objective coatings, color quality is very accurate.
If you want more compact and light weight than the 8x version of these, I'd just get a quality monocular instead of binoculars. You're better off sacrificing stereoscopic vision than optical clarity.
You get what you pay for. If you want to actually see crisp detail through your binoculars, you're going to need to spend over $100. I can't say how these compare to every brand out there, but I think it would be difficult to significantly out-perform these without a much larger budget. And while roof prisms have made strides in becoming better, AT BEST they can only equal a cheaper porto prism, and with less 3-D visual effect.
The wait was long because I live in South America and I had to figure out how to import these binoculars, so I was obviously thrilled when they arrived. The product is pretty rugged and sturdy. Nikon makes some excelentent lenses and I was immediately satisfied. Let me carify something before I get to the important part. These aren't heavy nor light...but stand right in the middle. The reason I say this is because when I first looked at the moon, I found trouble to get a steady hold of the binos, so I would really recommend a tripod adapter. If you buy these for any other reason like birdwatching or hunting, I would say that they are light enough, but leaving in the middle of the equator makes it hard to get a steady image.
The first night I got them I was astonished observing my city, unfortunately the sky was filled with clouds. As time went by (two long weeks), I saw the moon for the first time since I bought the binos. The sensation was pretty awesome, the image very bright and clear...no collimation...no problems at all, everything was absolutely beautiful. Yesterday was a turning point for me. The sky was clear and I could see around 13 stars with the naked eye. Then, I got my binos and i wouldn't say the sky was filled with stars because there is so much light pollution around here but I dare to say that the numbers of stars I could watch tripled. Then I grabbed my phone and checked on my space app that Jupiter was on clear sight, so I pointed the binos towards the planet and focused the image...BAAAAAAM!!! I couldn't beleive what I was watching. The planet was round. The longer I stared at it the more excited I got.... And then...I could see three of its moons. This blew me away. I can't wait to take this awesome thing to my next camping trip.
My only complaint would be that the lenses covers aren't what I expected. They're don't see very sturdy but it also isn't a reason I wouldn't buy them again. I highly recommend this product, Nikon never dissapoints.

The quality of these are awesome, and the optics are incredible (hence the 5 star rating)...but only if you have good eyes. The eye relief is great, but that's not the problem: it's the exit pupil size. When you're as old as me, your pupils are smaller and you require a larger exit pupil size to see the full-sized sight picture without "vignetting", which is that darkness and blur around the outside edges when you don't have your eyes in the proper position (not to be confused with "eye relief", which is a different issue). I could still (just barely) see the quality of the optics here and it is definitely not the fault of Nikon...I just need either a 7x50, 8x56 or 9x60 to compensate for my smaller pupil size.
If you want a *really* nice pair of weatherproof binoculars, these will fit the bill.
Great for Skygazing. Amazing view of Moon, stars clusters in a good dark nights. Highly Recommended.
