The EDG 8x32 binocular from Nikon aims to recreate world reference standards for resolution, handling, and features useful to seriously discriminating sports optic consumers. They've essentially taken all that was good of the much-beloved 8x32 Premier LX "L" and enhanced it with a multitude of improvements that have evolved in sports optics in the years since that unit's debut.
While the optics of the Premier LX "L" were universally applauded for good reason, the 8x32 EDG is that tiny bit better. Center-to-edge resolution performance, brightness consistency, and eye relief were all improved-quite a feat considering what they've improved upon. Generally speaking, the 8x32 roof configuration is regarded as an exceptional all-around binocular, because it has good brightness combined with a wide viewing field and a medium size.
The modern trend in sport optics has been towards the 'quadrangle' design of an open-hinged binocular, and this is the EDG's form as well. You can actually interlace your fingers a bit between the optical tubes, and even lock your thumb with your index finger to make holding the unit steady a simpler task. Nikon's also added a focus lock feature to their famous focusing dial-if you never touched a Premier LX "L" focuser, you'll be stunned by its ability to communicate to your finger and arrive exactly where you wish in just an instant. Other niceties include the addition of a tripod adapter threading, horn-shaped eyecups standard, and a rainguard which helps keep your interpupillary distance setting.
Nikon's binocular line is backed up by the "No-Fault" lifetime warranty. Regardless of what happens to your binoculars-even of your own negligence-Nikon will repair or replace (at their option) your binocular for just $10 plus the return shipping costs.

Very compact and lightweight which is a big advantage for me, easy to travel with and carry. Clarity and brightness of the image is very impressive and the quality of the construction of the binocular is also good. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Comments about Nikon EDG 8x32 Binocular:
These binoculars have incredible optics. Years ago when comparing Leica, Zeiss and Nikon I decided on a pair of Nikon 8x32 Premier SE binoculars. The price was unbeatable, and the sharpness, resolution and brightness were amazing, absolutely incredible and easily equal to or better than Zeiss and Leica optics. Best binoc purchase I've ever made, until now.
I wanted a compact pair (non-porro prism) 8x32 more suitable for travel and concerts. These EDG binocs are stellar, even better than my Premier SE Nikons (I didn't think that was possible). I'm stunned at the image quality.
If you're looking for something smaller that is also water and fog proof I doubt you can find anything better for the price. The image quality is astounding and compared with Leica and Zeiss the price is an absolute bargain. You can buy two of these for the competitor's price - one for you and one for your wife... and neither of you will be disappointed.

Comments about Nikon EDG 8x32 Binocular:
I didn't know if I should clue you all in on how good these are or keep it a secret for myself, but why not I guess, I already own them. These bino's are awesome in every way. They are super sharp, have very good resistance to flare, are very contrasty and bright for thier size. They balance well in the hand and are nicer to carry on long walks than the 8x42 EDG's that I also used to own. These are on par image quality wise, with less weight. These are a true REFERENCE class bino, and in many aspects the best of class. They are a little larger and a couple ounces heavier than the Leica/Zeiss top 8x32's but it makes them easier to hold and balance. Eyecups are great with three locking stops. (I use the second one with no glasses) Diopter control is very nice and concealed behind the focussing knob. A big plus is that no matter how hard I try, I can't get these to produce CA! Very nice all around. You can't beat 'em in my book. I've bought about 5 pairs of bino's this year that were all very good, but I haven't found THE PERFECT binocular for me until now. Nice job Nikon! The ONLY reason to get a 42mm bin over these would be to have a larger exit pupil. (making twilight viewing a little brighter and eye alignment easier)
