Nikon Travelite 8x25 Black Binoculars 7277 | Compact & Lightweight Binocular, Mutlilayer-coated lenses, Aspherical Lenses, Rubber grip panels, Carbon-fiber reinforced body | Official Nikon USA Model

These binoculars were nice and compact and had good optics. However, the amount you could see out of them was very small. A different pair fixed that.

I bought one pair of these from Amazon in Used condition but the prism in one eye piece wasn't properly aligned. I see this problem has been mentioned in other reviews. I was able to return them with no trouble and bought a pair in NEW condition. This time everything was perfect. Very nice and sharp. I have a trip to Costa Rica coming up so I wanted a pair that allowed me to look at things in a forest. So up at the top of a tree, not on mars. These are 12-25. The 12 is the magnification and 12X is just fine for what I need. If you get too much magnification you will find the image is hard to keep stable and you are so zoomed in it's hard to actually find what you are looking for. I also need something water proof, light and something that works well in low light situations. The 25 in the title is the size of the lens. Bigger means they let in more light. Bigger lenses are nice but add to the size and weight. I hate to suggest "showrooming" but you might want to pop down to an REI and what fits in your hands, what kind of weight you want, etc. It's tough to pick binoculars on the internet. But if you do decide on a small travel pair, these are the guys you want.

I'm a birder and like to have binoculars with me at all times just in case. I like these because they are small and lightweight, but also have good resolution. If I'm out doing serious birding I take my much larger binoculars along, but these Nikons are great for spur-of-the-moment birding.

Top quality, light and good vision. Great for walking with
