Nature DX 8x32 Roof Prism Binoculars

These are wonderful binoculars. I have an 8x42 binocular that costs twice as much as these and they compare favorably with binoculars costing in the $1,000 range. See wirecutter for reviews of 8x42’s. They are great binoculars. I’m telling you this because these little 8x32’s from Celestron are NOT left in the dust by those other bins. I get clear bright views and the Nature DX 8x32’s work very well with my glasses. Without my glasses, and the eyecups turned all the way out, I get a little wider field of view. I use them both ways.Yes. A larger objective lens will serve you better in twilight and dusk conditions. But these still do pretty good.These are light weight. I put on a padded strap that I already had and these are very comfortable hanging from my neck. While my other bins are better, these are going to be my grab and go bins. I’ll throw them in my daypack for hikes. I’ll keep them in the car for whenever. And they’ll just make a great extra pair of bins if I want to share some binocular adventure with someone else. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I wouldn’t recommend these as astronomical bins. But last night, in moderately light polluted skies, I was able to see Saturn clear enough to know it was Saturn I was in fact looking at. You can have a little fun with these on a clear night.If you’re looking for good performing 8x bins in a smaller format and understand that the optics aren’t the very best, but are still quite good, these are the bins for you. I highly recommend these with that understanding. Unless you are a binocular snob I predict you’ll also think these are wonderful little bins. What you get for the price is a great value.

These binoculars are similar in weight and feel to an expensive pair of Zeiss that I own. Images are great and very little color distortion. The price is right! They make a wonderful second pair or would be good for a child or beginner birder. I use them most for birding. I have given two of them as gifts.

Worked well on safari. I sometimes had to move my eyes back a bit from the lenses in order to see properly. Good choice for the price.

These 8x32 are a nice choice in that price range. Fairly compact and light with a good optical view. I own two of the Celestron Nature DX binoculars along with two Vortex Diamondback HD models in higher magnifications that I use on a tripod. The difference in the Diamondbacks is the construction material that can handle a little more abuse and the lifetime warranty. But of course you're paying more for those. The optics are very similar.If the Celestron Nature DX models fit your price range you can't really go wrong with them. They would serve you well on most excursions. The 8x42 version is slightly bigger and slightly brighter. In low light that could be helpful but in most daytime situations 8x32 is certainly bright enough. I've used both extensively.For most people 8x is really a sweet spot. Good magnification but still easy to hold steady by hand. It's why they're so popular. As you move to higher magnifications the gradual increase in noticeable hand shake can actually make the view less enjoyable.

I am blown away completely today when I received both Celestron Nature DX 8 x 25 and Celestron Nature DX 8 x 32 today.Impressive is the word for these little bins. These are inexpensive compared to brands like Nikon, and German bins. But the Americans had made these excellent bins with great ease of handling, image clarity/brightness and details.I couldn't have been happier with these, than similar price bins from any other brands like Opticron or Minox. Celestron beats them completely.I had bought these for my child and my wife after reading countless reviews on bins. I am so glad i purchased these.As a avid photographer since 1994. I know what is a sharp, bright, contrasty lens.These Celestron Nature DX are great for my kid and wife. For me, I am now planning to pay triple for Celestron Top of their range 7 x 33 or their 9 x 33 Granite ED bins!Thanks Amazon and Celestron!!!

New to binoculars & Birding, but did all the proper research. These are absolutely the best buy available for the $$. My ornithologist peers were all impressed with the quality for the price, and some even thought about replacing their old binos after checking them out! Solid construction, nice material, beautiful build, gorgeous lenses and quality of image to match. Very happy with color, contrast, light absorption and image focus - smooth focal dial as well. Can be used daily, and easily replaced. Or are a good budget buy for occasional users looking for something nice.

I used to really like this product. It comes in a great form factor and is of higher quality. Unfortunately, one of the eye cups broke off (the kids *sigh*) and to my astonishment, the parts support of Celestron denied that these are parts that could be replaced. They left me hanging with a non-working product with no solution.

wanted a lightweight pair of binos for hiking, these are pretty heavy
