Small in size but packing the features and performance you expect from a Nikon optic, the PROSTAFF P7 8x30 Binoculars are a great companion for backpacking, birding, travel, and more. The 8x magnification shows you details at a distance but is easier to hold steady than more powerful binoculars. Multiple layers of antireflective and dielectric coatings on the prisms deliver sharp views with vivid colors, while a nonstick coating makes it easy to keep the objective and eyepiece lenses clean. You can lock in a customized diopter setting, which is helpful when friends or family members are also using the binoculars. The PROSTAFF P7s are water, fog, and drop resistant so you can carry them confidently on your outdoor adventures. And at less than 5" in length, they won't take up much space in your gear bag.
- Antireflective Lenses, Dielectric Prisms

Everything you'd want in a 8x30 binocular
Make a list of what you plan on doing with binoculars: your needs, your main usage situations. For me, lightweight, usable when hiking (although there are less weighty offerings), top quality, crystal clarity, no distortion, easy on the eyes and reasonable cost. The sales rep (David) quickly proposed a few models, shared the "plusses and minuses", but leaned toward the Nikon Prostaff P7 8x30 for several reasons: 8x is probably a bit more than I need, 30-width optics are indecipherable vs. 32, and with 42 you do get more brightness, but with more weight. I thought that the Nikon Prostate P7 was the best combination of plusses, almost no negatives, and the price was deemed more than fair. I asked to compared it to other similar models both from Nikon (e.g. 8 x 42) and also what the most expensive models, including Zeiss and Swarovski, as well as competitively-priced offerings such as Vortex, and determined that the Nikons were MORE than a "happy medium". Easy to use, a snap to focus, excellent quality, top quality optics and a very reasonable price. In less than ten minutes, I made my decision. David offered me to look through a $3,500 model, a $2,500 model, and even a $200 model; The P7s were perhaps not as bright as 8x42 Swarovski or Zeiss, but the P7 Nikon was 1/10th the price and the high-priced models were NOT ten times the quality or performance. In the three weeks I've owned the P7 Nikon them, they have performed more than admirably. When hiking, I aimed up in the sky to view birds flying overhead; they were easy to find and focus on, and tracking them was a breeze. Other folks tried them and everyone said the same thing: "These are GREAT!" and "I've got to get a pair also". Only downside: lens caps on the front end can easily get lost; the eyepiece lens cap has a band that holds left and right caps together (good thing) and is less likely to get lost. Twist the eyecups counter-clockwise and they extend 0.5 cm for easier viewing and keeping out stray light. The case is perfectly sized and lightweight; the binocular weight is pleasantly lightweight, the supplied shoulder strap is wide enough to be comfortable without cutting in to your torso. In a word: EXCELLENT! B&H threw in two goodies, free: The Olight Oclip rechargeable clip-on light ($29) AND Nikon ProStaff Suspender harness binocular strap ($19). Much appreciated!
