I RECEIVED MY CELESTRON BINOCULARS (10X56) TODAY IN PERFECT CONDITION. THEY CAME 2 DAYS EARLY. THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN I WAS EXPECTING BASED ON OTHER REVIEWS I READ BUT COMPETITOR COMPANIES SOMETIMES LIE TO INFLUENCE SALES. I FEEL I PICKED THE PERFECT SIZE MAGNIFICATION AND OBJECTIVE LENS FOR GREAT LOW LIGHT VIEWING WITH AN EXIT PUPIL OF 5.6MM THE 8 X 56 WOULD BE THE BEST LOW LIGHT CAPABILITY AS THE HUMAN EYE CAN OPEN TO 7MM BUT I WANTED MORE MAGNIFICATION. THE 12X56 WOULD DROP THE LOW LIGHT VIEWING DOWN TO 4.66MM AND ALSO ADD MORE WEIGHT,FIELD OF VIEW LOCATING AND STABILIZATION CONCERNS. THE IMAGE WAS SHARP AND CLEAR AND COLOR CORRECT WITH THE ABILITY TO SEE FEATHERS ON GEESE AND HAIR ON ANIMALS WITH GREAT DETAIL. THE FOCUS CONTROLS WERE SMOOTH AND TIGHT AND VERY EASY TO USE BOTH MAIN AND DIOPTER FOCUS ADJUSTMENTS. THE 3 STEP EYE CUP RELIEF IS GREAT AS WELL AS THE LENS CAPS WHICH ARE ATTACHED TO THE STRAP AND CAN'T BE LOST. ALSO THE OBJECTIVE LENS CAPS FUNCTION PERFECTLY AS THEY ARE TIGHT AND FLIP DOWN EASILY ARE ALSO ATTACHED TO THE BARRELS AND CAN'T BE LOST. THE PROTECTIVE CARRYING CASE IS RUGGED AND BUILT WELL AS ARE THE 2 STRAPS. THE COMFORT, GRIP AND FEEL OF THE PROTECTIVE RUBBER ARMORER IS EXCELLENT. THEY ARE FILLED WITH DRY NITROGEN GAS MAKING THEM WATERPROOF AND INTERNALLY FOG-PROOF SEALED BY O RINGS. I AM VERY, VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT FROM CELESTRON AND CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE IT CAMPING AND 4 WHEELING AT MY FARM IN WV AND MARYLAND. I LOVE TO LOOK AT THE DEER, BEAR, WILDCATS AND OTHER ANIMALS AND WILL BE ABLE TO EVEN AT DUSK AND DAWN. ALSO LOOKING AT THE NIGHT SKY WILL I'M SURE BE AMAZING. I WILL BE ASKING SANTA FOR A TRIPOD AND MOUNT SO I CAN HAVE A MORE STEADY AND LONGER VIEW AS THESE BINOS ARE BUILT VERY WELL , SOLID AND ARE A LITTLE TOO HEAVY TO HOLD FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. BESIDES ONE HAND HAS TO HOLD A BEVERAGE " RIGHT ". FOR THE MONEY I DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THE CELESTRON NATURE DX 10X56 FOR MID GRADE, LARGE OBJECTIVE AND MEDIUM MAGNIFICATION, WATERPROOF AND IMPRESSIVE 5.6 EXIT PUPIL AND GOOD WARRANTY. ALL AROUND GREAT CHOICE FOR MID ENTRY LEVEL. I'LL SEE YOU .
