  • Total disappointment

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 20, 2010
    Pros: None, given the overall lack of reliability and worthless warranty.
    Cons: Improperly sealed, quick to fog, worthless guarantee.

    Summary: I bought a pair of these primarily for spring turkey hunting in S. Texas. Encountered light rain the first day out. Kept the binoculars tucked inside my shirt, but they still fogged up almost immediately and were totally useless. A pair of lower priced ... read more

  • Nikon Action (8X40) Binoculars

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 22, 2008
    Pros: light weight, awesome view
    Cons: price paid for only a pair of binoculars

    Summary: If you are like me and have any man in your house that loves to go hunting, these Binoculars are the best ones for you. My husband is all the time trying to get me to go hunting. The reason I never went was because I never could see the things he ... read more

  • Cheap and Cheerful

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 27, 2008
    Pros: cheap, sharp in centre of view, nice to handle
    Cons: not sharp off centre, eyepieces move, rubber eyecups abrasive, fogs up, too heavy

    Summary: If you can't afford better, these binculars are reasonable value for the price, but they can't be recommended overall. Yes, they are bright and very nicely sharp in the centre of view, but from about a half way out to the edge, they are soft, and things ... read more

  • Review of Oki B4600 Laser Printer

    Jul 21, 2007
    Pros: Crisp and clear text at 27 pages per minute;inexpensive cost per page;ease of use
    Cons: Small paper storage capacity with 500 capacity optional; relatively expensive replacement cost of the drum

    Summary: I purchased the Okidata B4600 for use in a small office to replace another Okidata led printer.This compact monochrome led laser printer is slightly larger than the size of a hat box and light weight. It was easy to initialize, set up and operate.The ... read more

  • Excellent budget binoculars

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 3, 2003
    Pros: Wide field of view, contrasty sharp image, acceptable weight, exceptionally rugged, and cheap.
    Cons: Significant edge distortion, ugly, not remotely waterproof, poor close focus and poor eye relief.

    Summary: There are not many full size binoculars cheaper than these and yet they provide a surprisingly good image. The field of view is exceptionally wide at 8.2 degrees which makes it easy to locate birds in flight. The centre of the image is sharp and ... read more

  • probably best in price range

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 10, 2001
    Pros: clear, sharp, contrasty views; comfortable to look through
    Cons: slight field curvature

    Summary: There are a lot of binoculars available for around $150, and the majority of them are poor-performing compact models. If you're thinking of getting some relatively inexpensive binoculars, please avoid all of the compact models with 25 or 30mm objectives. ... read more

  • Intermediate Birders Bargain

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 5, 2000
    Pros: Light-weight, good brightness, ease of focus, moderately priced.
    Cons: Lens protectors not connected to binoculars

    Summary: For the past twenty years or so I have been an avid birdwatcher. Travelling around the US, Canada, Scotland, England and Ireland. The one thing I always bring along is my binoculars. At present, I have the early version of Nikon's Egret. They have ... read more

  • Compact, Light, with Bright Optics

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 29, 2000
    Pros: Bright image, solid, durable feel.
    Cons: Mid-Level optics. Kind of a cheap carry case.

    Summary: I picked up a pair of Nikon Egret II binoculars when visiting the Virgin Islands last year. I had previously researched binoculars as I've always wanted a pair. I happened to see the Egret IIs in the VI for a nice price, so I picked them up. I was ... read more

  • Excellent value binoculars.

    Pros: Great lenses with sharp focusing and lots of light.
    Cons: Hopeless objective lens caps.

    Summary: The Action 8 x30s were recommended to me as being very good and that they were comparable to much more expensive binoculars. I have been using some Zeiss 10 x 50s that were extremely good but bulky and heavy and you needed a steady hand. So I took the

    Pros: excellent optical quality, comparable to much higher priced models for casual, and even serious, use
    Cons: no twist-up eye caps for eyeglass wearers

    Summary: I compared the excellent Nikon Monarch 8x42 with the Action 8x40, and couldn't really see a difference in optical quality. I compared distant details, dim objects, colour and peripheral vision. Both very bright and clear. The Action has a wider field
