I know nothing of binoculars but for my work, my preference is range (up to 20 miles), pics quality & lightness. Will these work? Any recommendations?

I hope your in a plane, because at sea level, the range of anything is 12 miles (horizon). There are visible scales when you look thru the lens for measuring distance and a built in lighted compass for bearings. they are light enough for use on my boat. 7X50 means 7 times closer and 7 times bigger. the 50 is the size of the front opening in millimeters. 50 is good for low light situations...dusk & dawn, twilight. the higher magnification that you get the harder they are to hold steady on an object u are looking at. These binos don't have a camera built in

Yes these will up to around 20 miles and have a great imagine for them as well. For the price couldn't ask for a better set of binoculars . Work well at night from the wheelhouse of your vessel. Only part I had a hard time with is the range formula to give range with them.

for the range you are seeking you're going to need something very stronger in range view

Yes, I would try them, I have used these in low light conditions and at night looking at moon and stars and for the price and quality of these binoculars you cannot go wrong, very good deal.

Hi, I had got a wide range of Nikon, Leopold, Steiner binoculars so I know what I am talking about and I got a pair of this particular Nikon Aculon binoculars and they are good to keep on my truck for general purpose as I have to re-adjust often, once adjusted both sides noted that going from low/mid range to high the image goes slyly blurry so I try different times and noted no change I believe is the optics adjustment problem or manufactory issues just remember you get what you pay for.

I think they are fair in low light conditions not as good as the higher power binoculars but when you considering a compact pair they are fair and for the price to it was worth it not spending alot of money on a pair that might not be that good. Hope that helps answer your question.

I think they would be okay for bird watching if you have not been using a higher quality set of binocs before. For me, the Tasco's are great for that once in a while need, but not for watching over a stretch. The eye strain starts setting in after a minute or so.

I have not used Bushnell binoculars but from my experience the Nikon makes a much better lenses.. better color correction. I know you would be pleased with the Nikon's

The action 10-22X50 binoculars seems to be a little more rugged and durable. They are probably for those who will be out in the elements a lot such as hunting, hiking etc. The aculon will probably suffice if you are only going to be using them for light work such as monitoring the neighborhood for criminal activity, veiwing your son or daughter when they are graduating or something.

yeah, maybe. My monocular will focus as close as 20 feet (give or take) so the short answer is: it will work. However, for extended viewing periods, like at a concert, I consider a pair of small binoculars to be vastly (as in vastly) superior. Binocs offer less eye fatigue, easier to hold steady (because you use both hands) and better resolution using both eyes. The monocular is great for hiking where you simply want to see something up-close for a minute or two. If I was going to a concert, I would take my binoculars and leave this at home.

I dont wanna be a negative Nelly here but these binoculars are not very clear or sharp at all.Maybe I just got a bum pair or something but I sent them back yesterday.Going with a different pair.So,to your question I would have to say NO from my experience.Good Luck.

Be aware These are not night vision binoculars. With that said, they do well in gathering light when it's dark since they have a large 50mm objective (the diameter of the large lenses at the front of the binoculars). Depending on how much available light there is you can see surprisingly well at night - even beyond what you can see with just your eyes. Try them when it's dark out and you'll see for yourself.

Yes, and yes. But, a good pair of 10x50 porros are hard to beat for convenience and all-around astro use. Good field of view and good magnification for most binocular objects. 8x40s are also quite useful. Young eyes might be up to using a good pair of 7x50 under fairly dark (rural) skies. That said, to take a quick handheld looksee at the Moon or Jupiter or Mars or the Orion Nebula or Comets or Hawks or Gulls this pair of 12x60 is awesome in my opinion. And that said, but if I only had one pair of binoculars I would probably opt for a good 8x40 (8x42/44) pair of water/fog proof porro prism bins. The Bushnell Legacy and the Pentax PCF WP come to mind. Or a good pair of 8x40 roof prism bins. I wouldn't bother with any porro that didn't at least have Phase Coating PC for Astro use.

The Nikon 7216 Action 8x40mm Binoculars are the only ones that I own right now and I think that they work great for watching sports. They offer a crisp and clear view and aren't zoomed in so far that you lose track of what you're looking at.

I find them to be fantastic for general use. Recently used them for inspecting the roof and upper parts of our house from the ground. They are superb for birding and wildlife watching. They focus quickly and work well if tou wear glasses. Well worth the money.

The binoculars work without batteries or dead batteries. The only loss in functionality is the ability to use the internal range finder in low light applications. The manual is here http://www.barska.com/rangefinder_compass.pdf

They are not as powerful as a full set of observational binoculars. I use them for viewing in my yard or across the street. You might want to go to a sporting store and just try some out to see what you think.

I think they should work just fine. There needs to be some kind of loop on the binoculars where straps will be attached.
