You should be under no illusions - these are far from being the best binoculars in the world, but having said that these Nikon EagleView Zoom binoculars are far, far cheaper than the top of the range compacts and to be fair to them they are not at all bad and I would say easily outperform their price tag. If you can live with their weak points and are looking for a cheap pair of zoom binoculars then the Nikon EagleView Zoom 8-24x25 CF maybe just for you. I do still have some reservations as to combining a compact instrument with small 25mm lenses and a powerful 20x magnification as it really does reduce their optimal operating window and they are never going to be able to offer you the image quality or brightness of a high powered fixed magnification binocular with large lenses. The slider is nice and smooth and is large enough to make even quite fine adjustments to the magnification straight forward. Most binoculars have a diopter so that you can calibrate them to allow for any differences in the vision of your left and right eyes.
This IPD (Inter-Pupillary Distance) range is very good and therefore they should be able to accommodate a wider range of faces than many, including those with closer set eyes like children and thus in this area and the fact that they are small and lightweight, it makes them a good choice of binocular for kids. As you would expect on a low cost compact, these don't come with a vast array of expensive coatings and things like super high quality extra-low dispersion glass, but because they are a porro prism binocular their prisms have total internal reflection and as such they do not need some of the coatings that roof prism's do to achieve the same quality of image. This is one of the main reasons why you often get a better performance from a low cost porro prism binocular than that of a roof prism one in the same price range.

Good coatings on the lenses and the prisms can double the amount of light that gets through the binocular, when compared to those that have none or poor quality coatings. As you would expect, keeping the image nice and still becomes harder and harder as you increase the magnification settings. At 24x I was able to the image still enough to take in all the details of what I was looking, but I had to concentrate on staying very still as even the smallest movement has a big impact on the amount of image shake. This is fine for short bursts, when you just want to take in a bit of detail, but is definitely not something that you would want to do over longer periods. However, in low light conditions when the pupils in your eyes are more dilated, this drop off in perceived image brightness becomes far more evident as the small exit pupils make it impossible for the binocular to supply your eyes with enough light for you se perceive a bright image. This is completely understandable and to be expected and so having said this, on the whole and when comparing them at the equivalent magnification, these for me compare well to other 8x or 10x compacts at this level which is good.
Whilst not at the same level as which you get from a high or even mid-to-high level 42mm binocular for example, for a low costing 25mm compact binocular, I thought that the colors produced and the level of contrast you see in the image were pretty good. this is especially true at lower magnifications where I am happy to say they easily compare with the majority of other 8x or 10x compacts that I come across at this sort of price level. The minimum focus distance on these is advertised at 5 meters, which is not good. However, I measured it to just over 3 meters (10ft) on my set, which is a lot better, but still falls far short of the best and thus would not suggest these as the ideal choice if you were looking for a bino especially to view things like butterflies or other objects from closer distances. If this is the case this section on close focusing binoculars should help. Made from a very fine woven nylon type of fabric, the included soft case is pretty basic, but functional: The diopter adjustment like most binoculars is a ring located on the right barrel just under the eyecup and is used to correctly set up and focus the binoculars to your particular eyesight and only really needs to be done once when use them for the first time, unless the setting is moved accidentally or you share your binoculars with someone who's setting is not the same as yours.As you increase the magnification level and zoom in on an object, the FOV reduces even further. However this is not as big a problem as I would suggest the best way to use these zoom binoculars is to have them set at 8x to locate the object that you want to observe and the once you have it in your field of view, you can then zoom into it to get a more detailed view. At 350g (12.3oz), it must be said they are on the heavy end of the scale when compared to most other compacts, they do however still feel very light compared to most standard full sized binoculars. An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length. It is defined as 1⁄12 of a foot, also is 1⁄36 of a yard. Though traditional standards for the exact length of an inch have varied, it is equal to exactly 25.4 mm.

Delivery & Returns
Image shake dramatically increases at the higher magnification, which makes it very hard to view fine details, which in many ways can negate any advantage you get from viewing an object at a high magnification. From our carrier you will receive a text message on the day of the delivery with a 2 hour delivery window. If there any changes or delays you will receive an update via text. The lenses on these Nikon EagleView Zooms are multilayer-coated. What this means is that they have received multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings which helps to increase light transmission, for a brighter image and therefore better low light performance. This is good, but it would have been even better if they had been fully-multi coated, which would mean that they had multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings on all air to glass surfaces and not just some of them as these are. To minimize reflection on the lens surfaces and ensure clear, sharp images, anti-reflective coatings are often applied. These anti-reflection coatings are very important as part of the light that passes through any lens is reflected by the front (incident light) and rear (exiting light) surfaces. This reduces the amount of light passing through the lens and if this transmittance is very bad, the image you see will be darker than on binoculars that transmit more light. Also, the reflected light may cause ghosting and flaring, affecting image contrast. There is no mention in any of their marketing of them being either water or fog proof and so I must assume that they are neither. In this price range, not many binoculars are fully waterproof or fogproof and so this is fairly understandable, but it would be nice to know that they were at least a little "weather proof" - anyway I am sure that they would survive a little light rain, but to be completely safe just make sure that you don't get them really wet in very bad weather.
