Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis A great bang-for-the-buck binocular, the 8x40 Action VII Binocular is the 'standard' entry in value-driven porro prism lineup, featuring a tremendous view that's relaxed and spacious. It is a great choice enjoying stadium sports, and also makes for a sensible birding or hunting selection. Its high-refraction prisms combined with the 8x magnification yield a wide 8.2 degree true field of view, and the aspherical eyepiece design makes for a wide apparent field as well. The Action VII has multicoated objectives, protective rubber

armor, and conventional peel-down style rubber eyecups

This review is from: Nikon 7216 Action 8x40mm Binoculars (Electronics)

Nikon Action 8x40 Nikon's Action series has always been their entry level effort. The series has gone through some pretty radical changes over the years. Nikon seems to be much more adventuresome at this price point than they are in their top of the line products. The latest Action binoculars all feature aspheric lens technology. The Action 8x40 is probably the glass of most interest to birders. It is a wide angle design, with 8.5 of field (that translates to 446 feet at 1000 yards), a close focus in the 12 foot range and eye relief of about 10mm. The limited eye relief means that spectacle wearers will not see the full field (what else is new?)...but the usable field for most people will still be relatively wide when compared to most 8x40s on the market (especially in this price range). The body is mat gray armored. The smooth armor is sufficiently tacky to provide a good grip, but some gripping aids (ridges or patterns) might have made it more secure in the... Read more

Great pair of binoculars for the price., October 3, 2005 By Todd (Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon 7218 Action 10 X 50mm Binoculars (Electronics)

I was looking for a medium-powered pair of binoculars for back yard astronomy. I had picked up a pair of Bushnell 10X50's for a few dollars less than the Nikon's and I was disappointed with the quality (there was something wrong with the optics... could not get them to ever completely focus). I promptly returned them and picked up these. What a difference! They were much clearer than the Bushnell's, and the focus is extremely sharp in the center. I take them out just about every night and they offer me a great view of the sky. If you're looking for a good all-around pair of binoculars that's worth more than what you're paying, look no further!

Best pair of binoculars I tried regardless of price!, May 20, 2008 By Grant Brummett (Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon 7216 Action 8x40mm Binoculars (Electronics)

Pros:

Super low price Super sharp view Ultra Bright view Nice case with belt loop Pretty light weight for 8 x 40 binoculars Cons: Too large to carry far Too heavy to carry very far Have to take my glasses off to use Not fog or water proof no big deal if you live in southern Arizona like I do I know nothing about binoculars (I didn't even know what 8 x 40 means!) but wanted something to replace the old binoculars I inherited from my dad who purchased his pair 45 years ago. They were very heavy and very large and when watching birds in my back yard feeder they got very heavy very quickly. I started out by going to the store and trying every single pair of binoculars they had starting with the most expensive since I thought, well, they must be the best. And they had some very expensive ones there with image stabilizers and laser range finders and who knows what all else. The sales guy... Read more
