In my opinion, any of the Nikon Monarch series represents a good investment for someone interested in purchasing a premium set of optics without spending a great amount of money. My wife and I use my 12X42s for such activities as: wildlife viewing, scenic observation, boating, and hunting. The 12X magnification provides great distant viewing without the tendency to have shaky images. Also, viewing is crisp and bright in limited periods of light. Finally, the relative compactness of the 12X42s makes them useful for most field uses. I carefully research products before I purchase them. If you are considering buying a great mid-range set of optics for yourself or someone else, you will be pleased.

As another reviewer noted these are way better than the inexpensive Bushnell's that I've owned in the past. I always seemed to select binoculars that I was comfortable either dropping off the side of the boat or leaving at the stadium. That said, these are the nicest binoculars I've ever owned.
Now before you go off thinking I don't know what I'm talking about in a binocular review - I have not owned but have used extensively all the high end binoculars. Swarovski, Leica, Steiner, etc. I've used them all. These binoculars are not as good as those. These are about 60% as good as those. HOWEVER they cost about 1/5 of those other ones so based on that they are a pretty good deal. They are waterproof; they are a nice size in your hands and not too big to carry.
The image is bright and clear to me. All that stuff about edge distortion and color shift doesn't make a lot of sense to me - I don't have the patience to figure out what that means and, let's face it, most people don't really notice anyway. When I look through these they are bright and clear.
In summary I recommend these binoculars for the following activities - Yeti spotting, Sasquatch sighting, Swamp Ape hunting perhaps even sighting a Chupacabra (although I believe they are nocturnal). These will also be great to have when going to the Grand Canyon, whale spotting (narwhals are my favorite) and any other activity where you need that "close up" perspective. Regardless of your quarry I think you will like these binoculars if you don't care about your friend being impressed by your selection in optics on your next big game hunt.

I needed a new set of binoculars to replace my old cheapo ones. I talked to others at the local Department of Wildlife and they recommended Swavorski. Of course, if you looked at the price of those binocs, you'd know that you might have to take out a loan to buy a pair. I checked numerous reviews and found that these binocs rated well against several classes of binocs. I got into the field and was overly impressed. Keep the Swavorskis. My Nikons handle the job just fine!

Excent quality binoculars. Have used them for 3D shoots and plan to use them this month for a self guided bow hunt in Colorada.

I get motion sickness when I use most binoculars. These are so steady it is a joy to use them. We have 5 acres, and wild life, including beautiful birds, so these are really getting a work-out. I am very satisfied with them.
