absolutely, they are great. My husband uses his all the time. We live in Montana on a cattle ranch so we can watch our cattle from far far away. you will be happy with them.

I would say so they are gas filled so never fog up. Nikon makes good binocs.

No. I took it to Alaska and never even used it. Of course, I have the 55-200, which is a much better lens. If you don't have any other zoom, and someone gives you a 55-300, then sure!

I'm a sailor as well. I haven't taken these on a boat, but I've used my older Nikons (1970's) on a boat for years with no problem. That said, if I were paranoid about it and could afford it, I'd buy a waterproof pair.

I asked this same question a month ago. We just returned and the binoculars will definitely fit your needs in Alaska. They weigh close to two pounds--not too heavy.The only drawback I found was the case is too small once the neck strap is in place.....a good choice and a good value. Have a great time in Alaska. I wish you sunshine and cloudless dy.

I've seen it for as cheap as $194 new. I don't care about the cost of the camera when it fries. I care about losing four out of fives days of photos of wilderness kayaking/snorkeling.

Yes, I would say so. Purchased the camera last year to use on a motorcycle trip to Alaska. I rode in the passenger seat the whole trip, shooting thousands of pictures that turned out great. I used many of the different automatic modes in the camera and was very pleased with the result. Received many compliments on my pictures, especially scenery shots. Hope this helps.

Thx for confirming that Ty. I shot some great b&w; photos on vacation with my kids in bali this week with this lens. Very sharp.

I have a pair of these as a backup to my Zeiss 10x42, and have used them on hunting, fishing, & camping trips in South Central Alaska. They ARE waterproof and have very good clarity and provide good detail out to several hundred yards. I've used them in rain, bright sunshine, low-light/dusk, and have no complaints. I'd recommend them as a really good pair of binocs for the money.

1. The Z990 is the latest model. It uses the latest image sensor (BSI CMOS not CCD) which is supposed to be better in low light (hence, faster in regular light). 2. Neither model can accept a filter. 3. Not sure ... but I read it might be 30 minutes. 4. The problem with ultra zooms (as you can see in professional sporting events) - is that you need a tripod when using it (or high shutter speed) to compensate. This is true for all cameras (even for traditional film cameras). I assume you will be shooting in daylight - but since the boat will be moving (at sea), you will have to use a wider aperture opening and faster shutter speed (or higher ISO). Either way, a tripod is the best way to go.

I got the DA Lens with the Camera. The lens and camera work great and takes phenomenal pictures. I used it extensively throughout the Canadian Rockies and for pictures in Alaska. Great camera that works in all conditions, has taken pictures at -25 for short duration. Hope this helps.

No Problem The only thing you would need is a good tripod. I find that holding the 8250 Nikon by hand during the day looking at wild animals is one thing but at night looking at the moon or stars its a lot harder to keep steady.w

Not that I'm aware of. To date, this camera has performed flawlessly. I wish it had been available a few years sooner, when I was able to get to Alaska and it's abundant wildlife.

Now you can buy both Nikon binoculars ( 7294 - 8x42 and 7295 - 10x42 ) for almost the same price at $279.95. Best price on the 7295 was at SportOptics at $268 and included free shipping. Found that price only " AFTER " I purchased mine. I had to pay almost $10 in shipping. Could have saved $20. Too, late now! Mine are in transit and are to arrive in a couple of days. http://www.sportoptics.com/nikon-monarch-atb-binoculars-10x42-green-7295.aspxTexoma...

I think so. I went back and forth on this and the go pro. Intova had the gadgets I wanted. My favorite is that I can mount it on my SUP and one man canoe. Has sound. Or not. Takes pics. Video is good. Easy to edit. Long battery life. Buttons are a little hard to press. And I think the newer one has a remote. Which I I wish mine had.
