Celestron Binocular Nature DX 12x56, Olive/Black

Excellent product, very pleased, lovely clear image, sharp and bright. Well made, robust and easy to focus and adjust. Great service from Castle Cameras.

I highly recommend Celestron 8x42, 10x42 and 12x56 Nature DX Binoculars. I am an astronomer and an experienced binocular user for astronomy, bird and nature watching. I have experience with Zeiss, Swift, Swarovski, Minox, Barska and Celestron binoculars and spotting scopes. The Celestron Nature DX binoculars perform nearly as well as any of the top-of-the-line binoculars, while costing far less. Image brightness, field of view, near-focus distance and overall image quality are excellent. And the tripod mounting is superior to any other. I highly recommend them.

I'm very pleased with the Celestron binoculars. I primarily us them for birding and so far they are great.

Great eye relief, sharpness, contrast, close focus. These are not cheap but compare very well with bins costing much more. Lot's good features "small features" like twist up eye cups. I use for birding and astronomy.

I have only used these twice so far, once for terrestrial viewing and once for looking at the moon. On both occasions I was impressed with the clarity. These binoculars are solidly put together and feel very durable. As other commenters have stated, they are a little on the heavy side but that does not bother me at all. I prefer to have the weight and the solid feel. Overall, these are exactly what I wanted when I purchased them. I will be testing them further during whale watching season and when I get to a dark sky site.
