I purchased these binoculars in April (it’s now June) and used them for a couple of hours maybe 3 or 4 times. As I was packing to go on a hike, they fell 3 feet off of my bed onto a carpet while they were still in their case and ended up out of alignment! I’ve dropped my other lightweight binoculars when they were out of their case onto much harder surfaces and never had this happen. I sent them back to Nikon under warranty and they’re now charging me $20 to repair them plus shipping.
Although the lenses are wonderful, I don’t think these are tough enough to use out in the field. Or else I got a real lemon and Nikon won’t acknowledge that. Either way, I’m done with Nikon.

I wanted a lightweight, easy to carry pair of quality binoculars. After reading several reviews, I chose the Nikon V-7470 binoculars. This product is very lightweight, and performs as advertised. Adjustments are easy and the image is sharp for a product of this size and pricepoint. Overall, a very good product for travel, leisure and economy. I recommend this product.

We use our binoculars for the Metropolitan Opera and New York Philharmonic. For both, we usually sit in the highest levels. Thus, binoculars are needed for better views. We are on our fourth pair; in every case, hard falls were the wreckers. We selected this Nikon mainly on the basis of comparative reviews on Amazon.com and were led properly. Good prior experience with Nikon and its reputatiion were also factors. The binoculars are easy to use and magnify well. The actual supplier was one with whom I had previously dealt directly and found reliable. This was true with this transaction.

I just purchased these Nikon binoculars and I am very pleased with them. I had been using a cheap pair that I picked up at a flea market and can’t believe what I’ve been missing. I am purchasing another pair to keep in my car. I highly recommend the Nikon Travelite V 8 x 25 they are a great buy.

Nikon truly makes excellent lenses for binoculars. The 8×25 is superb for bird-watching, concerts and vacation travel. The quality is extremely clear and they are very lightweight and compact. Really durable and high quality feel in your hands. Superb for eyeglass wearers. I tried the 10×25 and found the magnification too strong. The 8×25 makes bird-watching easier due to wider panoramic view. The 9×25 is also great and magnification is really the buyer’s choice.
