Nikon Nikon 8 x 40mm Action Binoculars

The new Nikon 8 x 40mm Action Binoculars offer state-of-the-art features. The binoculars have multicoated, high resolution, aspherical lens system that delivers a distortion-free view.

The other attractive features include an advanced eye piece design that aids people who use eye glasses and a diopter control that eliminates problems of vision imbalance. This pair of wide angle binoculars has a smooth central focusing that lets you focus on subjects quickly. As it is tripod adaptable, you can attach it to a tripod for shake free viewing. The body of the BaK4 prism binocular is rubber coated to provide a non-slip grip. It comes with a neck strap and carry case for convenient carrying.

Review 1 for Nikon 8 x 40mm Action Binoculars

Nikon Action 8X40

I just bought two pairs of these binnoculars and going to buy a third one. One for the Jeep, one for the ATV, one for my truck. I have expensive solar powered transmitting equipment on a mouintain peak and when my electronic sensor detectors go off I can easily view the mountain top and see if it was a bird or human being setting off the alarms. I never know what vehicle I will be driving out here, in the desert mountain areas. Personnaly they perform equal or better then my $300.00 pair of binnoculars. Highly recommend them for the price!

I bought these binoculars based on everyone else's good reviews. These are heavy, awkward, and do not get clear- no matter how you focus them. The view is very small- meaning if you are trying to see something- you just get a tiny bit of it. I would return them, but I spent WAY too much on shipping for Christmas to make it worth it. Garage sale quality. Maybe I can unload them on ebay.

These are outstanding binoculars -- very bright, excellent resolution. The 8x magnification is great for hand-held use -- you get a good up-close image without much shaking. The build quality, fit, and finish are all excellent. My boy scout troop loved using these at scout camp. Even at 8x, it's amazing to see craters on the moon and thousands of stars in what appeared to be a sparsly populated patch of sky to the naked eye. And we had these binoculars at hand just as an eagle began making slow circles high above the waterfront! Magic.

BEST BINOCS EVER! ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE!

Picked these up at my local walmart for $twenty 5 bucks on clearance marked down 4 times from the original 179!!!! Totally worth it! Even at the original one seventy nine I would have to keep them. Feel really heavy duty, have nice grips, great focus adjustments and CLARITY OUT THE WAZOO! Really nice to get a set of FULLY MULTI COATED LENSES AND BAK-4 PRISM AT A SPECTACULAR PRICE. Even if you are paying full price people these are really really amazing at this price. You cant do better than Bak-4 prisms and fully multicoated optics in a pair of binocs. These work better than a pair I have been loaned that cost $800! And trust me my buddy is jealous that I have these and is going out to pay full price for 2 sets of these for himself! Thats how nice these are....oh and they are WATERPROOF TO BOOT! Bottom line people just get these, they are a super phenomal deal for what you are getting in a VERY NICE set of optics, you will be pleased! These also perform super good in low light (dawn and dusk) which is one of the many reasons my buddy and I have fell in love with these binocs. I love them and so will you if you know anything about optics and have been shopping around. Best deal anywhere. I CAN WAIT FOR HUNTING SEASON TO USE MY NEW 8X40 NIKON ACTIONS! I will finally be able to see deer in low light when I need to with my own binos that I could actually afford! Great price, Thanks WalMart and Thank you Nikon for making such a great product at a super price! GO BUY EM!

Review 6 for Nikon 8 x 40mm Action Binoculars

Very Satisified

Purchased primarily for bird watching and some landscape viewing. Have been using a Bushnell 10x50, but wanted more FOV and brightness in low-light conditions. The Nikon does well with those aspects and surprised me how crisp and clear the view is. Good weight and very comfortable grip. Only experienced fogged lenses when taking then out of air conditioning into hot & humid outdoors. They clear up after a bit when they get warmer. That seems normal with any product. Have no problem managing the lens covers. The eye lens ones just hang with the neck strap (wich is also well-made and comfortable to wear. The case is quality-made, too, and seems to protect it well enough. Have no negative observations. Bought it using the "Pick-Up-Today" on-line option which was about $16 cheaper than the in-store price (at the Bonner Springs, KS Walmart).

I wanted binoculars for bird watching in my back yard and taking with me on walks, etc. I needed to replace a pair of ancient binoculars that had seen their day. I did a lot of research and decided on these binoculars after reading other favorable reviews. I am very happy with them. Very easy to use and focus. I would highly recommend them.

Mom loved them!

I was at a loss about what to get my mom for Christmas. I happened to think about How much she loves to feed the birds and watch the wildlife in her big back yard in Tennessee. I researched some birding websites and found that these binoculars were recommended for backyard bird watching. She loved them! They were her favorite gift. My dad says she uses them every day. I've tried them and I'm pretty impressed, too. They are extremely clear and make things look as though you can touch them. Would definitely recommend these. Great price for the quality.

I would highly recommend these binoculars. They are comfortable, have excellent clarity and are priced very reasonably. I did a lot of research on binoculars, and was unsure if this pair would live up to the reviews I found - but they did! My expectations were exceeded.

I gave these binoculars as a gift to my father for Christmas 2010. He loved them! These binoculars replaced a previous set he had already owned. They were a great price, he could see more clearly with these than with his older pair.

First off, we got this in about two days shipping during the holidays, right to our door! Great service, Wal Mart! This is a very nice set of binoculars. Quality design, great travel case and nice covers for the lenses! Got it for my husband to bird watch from the living room out into the back of our property and it's great! Wanted to get the Sharper Image ones with the ability to take pics, but all the reviews I read about them were bad. Very pleased with this purchase!

The binoculars are pretty good for the price. Nikon always kicks out a good product. The large lens covers are next to useless. You would think they could have come up wiht a better design for those. That is why I only give it 4 stars.

I got these for my hubby affter reading nearly a couple hundred positive reviews. I had no idea what to buy for him. I was convinced these would be perfect for him and he LOVES them! For years, he had been using these awful, cheap, practically disposable binoculars that were free with a sports mag subscription and I couldn't stand the thought of him using them anymore. He loves to bird watch! The clarty is amazing and it brings the wildlife up close, and personal! He said he never knew hummingbird eyes were so big! lol

This is first time I am using a high quality binocular and I am very pleased with the result.
Distant objects really look clear and watching stars at night is also fun.
Drawback - I have to take off my glasses otherwise the view becomes very limited.
