 Great birding and bugging bins April 22, 2010

These binoculars are mostly just like the old Nikon Monarchs, with maybe just a little more light in low light conditions. An excellent pair of binoculars for the price, five years ago binoculars of this quality would have been more like $500-600. An especially cool feature of all the Nikon Monarchs is the close focus distance, which with my eyes is probably even a little under four feet. If you like looking at butterflies and dragonflies as well as birds, these binoculars are an excellent choice for their price tag.

I purchased these based on the performance review from Cornell. I am thouroughly pleased and actually purchased a second pair for my wife.
The low light performance of these was more than adequate for our birding needs in early morning or late evening. The brightness is astonishing compared to a binocular of lesser quality. I will never go back to a cheap bino. These have helped tremendously bringing our birding experience to the next level. They offer a superb level of contrast and sharpness required for bird identification. I can easily see markings on a sparrow at 50 feet or more in low light. The eye relief is great and having retractable eyecups even works well with eyeglasses. These binos are mean to be used heavily, just about bulletproof in most conditions.
I would advise people to change out the neckstrap with a harness. My neck never hurts and they don't swing with a harness, the Leupold is excellent. If you are a birder and want to make a good experience and great one, pull the trigger on these. I really think would will be pleased.
As for the 8 x 42 or 10 x 42 debate... If you need low light performance and are watching moving targets such as small birds or the like I feel the 8 x 42's are the way to go. If you have bright conditions,very steady hands and a still target the 10 x 42 is worth looking at. Try out a pair of each magnification at your local sporting goods store if possible and you decide.
Great! May 18, 2010

The binoculars are great. Their focus is clear and add a lot of light to the view.

After deliberating very long on what to buy, I decided to buy the Nikon 7294. It is really a great optical piece and I use it very often with great satisfaction. The only alternative to this in my mind will be the Canon electronically stabilized binocular. I wanted to stay with a non powered binocular so at this time I am waiting for the reliability of the electronic stabilized binoculars to improve.
Great Binoculars! April 16, 2010

Love my new binoculars. Nikon could have sprung for a better strap, but the important things are all there.
