A GREAT BINOCULAR 
2008-05-19
THIS IS A GREAT NIKON BINOCULAR.THERE IS NO OPTICAL DISTORTION AND THE VIEWING AND PRICE I PAID WAS EXCELLENT.
Nikon Binocular 2008-05-15
Very reasonably priced for such a great item. Easy to focus, crisp, clear magnification. Very pleased.
Excellent value! 2008-05-07
I work part-time for an outdoor retailer. I have many opportunities to compare several brands of binoculars from high end to low end. I bought these because of the clarity and the quality of Nikon optics. I could not see any difference between this Nikon and the $1,000+ models from other manufacturers. They may have better coatings, etc. but nothing that I could see when viewing side-by-side. One of the leads also did the same test and wants the Nikon too.
It is a little heavy and you have to be very steady with the 10 power. (That is why I did not buy the 12 power.) I am very happy with my Nikon 10x50 binoculars. I am also impressed with the 25 year warranty. It is a great value especially compared to other manufacturers.
(Yes, I did get a discount, but that is not the reason I am recommending these. I was going to buy them anyway.)
Nikon Action 12X50 2008-04-11
I bought the Nikon Action 12X50 binocular from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $67.29 (and free shipping), discounted as "open box." It arrived in perfect, brand new condition. I bought it the same week that I bought a Celestron Skymaster 15X70 binocular, also from Amazon Warehouse Deals. I figured that if one or the other was defective I could return it, or if I decided that I simply didn't want one I could return it (and pay shipping), but for my amateur purposes -- birdwatching with the Nikon and stargazing with the Celestron -- I am very pleased with the Nikon and the Celestron and therefore am keeping both.
The Nikon is good quality in every detail, right down to the included neck strap and case. Some binocular users apparently have difficulty holding anything over 8 or 10 power steady, but I (a big guy with big hands) have no difficulty holding the 12 power Nikon steady (whereas I cannot hold the 15 power Celestron steady enough to keep individual stars from moving about like crazy, which is why I use a tripod with the Celestron for stargazing unless I'm just scanning the sky).
Before purchasing the Nikon and Celestron binoculars, I used a Bushnell 7X35 for birdwatching. There is no comparison.
Amazon's current (4/8/08) retail price for the Nikon 12X50 is $88.95 (and free shipping). I'm glad I got Warehouse Deals deal, but had I paid $88.95 I would be just as pleased with my purchase. I would imagine any of the Nikon Action line binoculars are excellent quality for the price and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a binocular in the Nikon Action line price range.
Nikon Action 10X50 2008-04-09
I'm very pleased with this binocular, The images are very sharp, it has some edge distortion, but I can live with it. For sky watch is also a good option. Final conclusion: a good value for the money. Please excuse my English.
Excellent Binoculars! 2008-07-12
Purchased these binoculars to replace aged Bushnell Falcon 10x50's which literally disintegrated in my hands over the last few years and have now finally completely fallen apart (the plastic threads on the main tubes cracked to the point where they won't thread together anymore, rendering the binoculars useless). The Nikon Action 10x50's seem so much more solid!! The optics are phenomenal - I'm able to see and count surfers in the lineup from miles away, and when viewing actual surfing action there's absolutely no side-to-side distortion, it's like watching up-close video even though I'm far away on the beach. Others have complained about the caps being difficult - which I don't agree with, but in my opinion the carrying case could fit tighter and be made of a more water resistant type of material. But compared to the phenomenal optics and obvious solid feel and probable longevity of these binoculars, these other issues become minor to the point of irrelevancy... These binoculars are totally value-for-money at this price point- and I'm sorry I didn't buy them a long time ago!
Beautiful 2008-07-10
I can see very nice things from far away. They are large, but if someone is firing at you do you care?
Duplicate Reviews For Different Products

The reviews here are duplicated between the 10x50, 12x50 and 16x50 binoculars. As a result it's impossible to tell which product any individual review applies to, rendering them all but useless.
Just Great 2008-05-24
For astronomy this binocular is just great. The focus is accurate, the view is clear and sharp, the fit and finish are first rate, and the case is well made. It is what you would expect from Nikon.
Nikon Action 10 x 50 Binoculars 2008-05-22
I love these binoculars. The images one sees are sharp, clear, and bright. I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat, if they are on sale, as these were.
