Hands down best optics for the money. Will easily best or closely compete with many optics way above their price range. Super light weight and huge field of view. Fully made at the main Nikon facility in Japan so you know the quality is top notch.
I currently have the 10x42 Leica Geovid 3200.com binoculars that just replaced my Leica 10x42 Noctivids and also have a set of the Nikon 10x42 HG binos. The Leica HD glass is amazing but the Japanese Nikon HG glass is nipping right on its heels for almost a 3rd of the price. Can't go wrong.
