Nikon EDG 7x, 8x and 10x42 Binoculars

EDG is exceptional lineup of Nikon compact binoculars with many excellent products which are combined Nikon's many leading-edge technologies, including both optical and mechanical, provide perfect quality for both optic and construction. EDG has 2 sub lineups are binoculars with 32mm and 42mm objective lenses. In my opinion, EDG 42mm's are better so in this article, I will review for them.

Now, Nikon EDG 42mm is available 3 models with 3 different magnifications: 7x - which is very suited for beginners, 8x - suited for birding, hunting and traveling, and 10x - specially suited for astronomy and birding in good light condition.

Let's take a look at main features of Nikon EDG 42mm Binoculars:

Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, Nikon's high quality optic, for chromatic aberration compensation and brighter, clearer images

Nikon's field flattener lens system, which is only integrated in Nikon Premium binoculars, for sharp, clear images from edge-to-edge

Dielectric high-reflective multilayer-coated prism on a roof prism unit (which is located inside each tube) for optimal brightness, makes images smooth equivalent to naked eyes

Phase-correction-coated roof prism (another internal element of each tube) for extremely high resolution

Brighter images, even at low light condition, dawn, dusk even in night

Eco-glass optics, environmentally safe materials

Dual focus knob with diopter adjustment make easier to focus and adjust

Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint

High-eyepoint design makes them easier to see a clear field of view for eyeglass wearers

Horn-shaped detachable eyecups

Comfortable, ergonomically designed strap, easy to use in long time and carry for long trips

Short bridge style for easy grip

Durable design

Waterproof (up to 5m/16.4 ft. for 10 minutes) which's very good to protect your binoculars in use under wet condition

Woww! A lot of excellent features for a binoculars. Let's look deeper at each feature to find to differences to other Nikon Binoculars.

Optic 

Nikon's field flattener lens system is the first difference. Just few binoculars of Nikon is integrated this element and EDGs are ones of them. This element provides excellent images with the sharp, clear from edge-to-edge (same sharpness at any point on the lens). Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, which Nikon's high-quality glass for brighter images than normal glass.

Dielectric high-reflective multilayer-coated prism, a popular part of Nikon Binoculars, is located inside each to give you optimal brightness, even in low lighter performance: dawn, dusk and even night. All lenses and prisms are made for Eco-glass optics, environmentally safe materials for safety of users in case they're accidentally broken.

42mm objective lens is pretty large size, which can provide brighter images and much wider FOV. This's thing I love at Nikon EDG binoculars. Excellently optical system allows them provides extremely wide FOV, help users easier to view, find and follow very fast and small objects.

Construction

They have a very tough and solid body but also very compact and light, at least compared to other binoculars with same features and price. Beside, 100% waterproof and fogproof design (thanks to O-ring seals and Nitrogen gas) help protected the binoculars in worst conditions.

Dual focus knob with diopter adjustment makes it easier and faster to focus on something at any distance. Very long eye relief with High-eyepoint design for easier view with eyeglass, and Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups (the eyecups that can be adjustable) to be suitable for all users with or without eyeglass.

Conclusion

All Nikon EDG Binoculars are quite a lot of money but with a lot of excellent features (as you can see), they're totally not expensive and worth for every penny you pay. Let's take a EDG one and enjoy night sky, animals and the beautiful natures
