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.
Very pleased with my Nikon 16x50 binoculars! 2008-03-27
This is a great Nikon product, especially considering its low price. Adorama shipped this product to me within a fewer days than I had expected, which was awesome. The tripod adapter works well and the neck strap holds up perfectly. Buy these if you are looking for a great pair of binoculars!!!
Good Value 
2008-03-10
I have been entirely satisfied with these binoculars. The image is bright and sharp with just a little fall off in sharpness near the edge of the Field of View. I have not noticed any color aberration. Most people will find it hard to hold 10X binoculars steady without bracing your hands on a railing or other object, or using a tripod. For this reason some may prefer 7X. But for me this has been the right choice

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.

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.
