I own a number of binoculars, from small to large (e.g. Fujinon 10x70's and 16x70's). I wanted a lightweight, wide-angle, rugged pair to replace an old pair of another popular brand that developed some issues over the years. These Aculons are superb, especially for the price. A friend of mine has a $1000 pair of Zeiss field glasses. We sat and compared, back and forth. He wasn't terribly pleased. His $1000 investment yields images that are no better than the Aculons, and the Aculons have a wider field of view!
I use binocs for sightseeing and stargazing. (Not much of a "birder.") These little gems are wonderful, and I did observe a mountain jay from about 50 feet away. Beautiful colors and details. Razor-sharp, and easy to find quickly in the wide field-of-view.
The image is crisp and sharp right to the edge. The apparent field of view (what it "looks like" when you peer into them) is excellent. The eye-relief is very comfortable. They come to sharp focus very easily and the mechanism feels very smooth and solid. The image colors and contrast are excellent. Grade-A optics, which I suppose one should expect from Nikon. In this case, the mechanical aspects rival the optics in quality.
My wife used them for a concert and said they were "a little heavy after a while." Well... yes. They aren't "concert" glasses. They are very solid and well-constructed and designed for outdoor use. But she still used them for much of the concert, and she could just about study the cellist's earring from a hundred feet away and spot a loose piece of horsehair on one of the violinist's bows. The image detail is superb.
Great product. Highly recommended.

The image quality is outstanding.
I noticed that the lens cap had what appeared to be a split where the neck strap can be inserted. Waiting to hear from Nikon if that is a defect or was purposely designed that way. Otherwise the binoculars are great. Update: I never heard back from Nikon.
