Celestron 71347 10 x 42 Outland X Binocular, Black

Bought these for a birthday present for my partner as we were travelling to south Africa for safari, best investment and present yet! Light weight, perfect size for carrying with very good magnification and image quality. Good in low light conditions and nice feel to them, easy to use given I am a novice and easy to use with or without glasses! Would reccomend for any trip for looking at wildlife, be it safari animals, penguins on a beach or birds &seals off the coast!

Light to carry and good clear vision,well worth the money.

I had been impressed by all the 5 star reviews and ordered a pair of these for bird-watching, fell-walking etc. The good points are, relatively light weight, nice build quality, excellent clarity. So why 4 stars not 5? Because I did a side-by-side comparison with a pair of German made Minox 10 x 42s. At 4 times the price, clearly they are better in terms of construction, though heavier and slightly more compact. The most noticeable difference is in light transmission, on a dull day the Minox are noticeably brighter, also the focus wheel is only one turn end to end and seems to snap into focus much more easily than the two turn Celestron focus wheel. The differences are not massive but enough to lose the Celestron's their 5th star. Having said that, these are excellent binos at a budget price and the 75% saving compared to the Minox probably only loses you 15% in quality and in bright conditions these are very very good with clarity only marginally less than the Minox. You pays your money and takes your choice, and for me having a budget pair for scrambling up fells etc where they could get lost or damaged was a good choice, rarely will you be bothered by the trade-offs I have described. A good buy as long as you bear in mind the slight shortcomings compared to a premium product.

Beautiful built quality with an amazing view range. I can't wait for the clear nights. Nice and light around the neck and great for putting in a medium bag whilst out walking.

Brilliant binoculars. Fast delivery too.Thank you.

Recently got into birdwatching so after some research into best value for money i bought these. They're absolutely amazing value for money. Solid, sharp image at long range and superb in low light. Not the most lightweight but they're not heavy either, certainly not heavy enough to cause hand shake and though they're not night vision, I've even used them to view deer under a full moon with surprising clarity. My friend has a pair of binoculars 4 times the price and apart from being a fraction lighter and a bit flasher aesthetically there's really very little difference. Highly recommend.

Great Binoculars good value for money.

Easy to focus, slightly heavier than expected but all round very good with carrier case and decent strap.
