Living in the upper Mid West, the landscape's heavily forested and glaciated.
It's time to see what I was missing.
Nikon lens/prisms are World renowned,...and for the dollar, arguably the best.
I wanted Roof Prism binoculars, so that made the decision easier.
Magnification is a preference factor, I chose 10X magnification after trying a family members 8X
(more on this later)
+ Trailblazers became the logical choice because of the larger 50mm objective lens +
With a larger 50mm objective lens, you attain many sought after qualities.
1: they gather more light entering the binoculars resulting in better imaging {any low light, dusk/dawn}
2: the field of view {angle of view} increases for smoother viewing/scanning
3: they generate a larger exit pupil for easier focusing and viewing for your eye
After enjoying the Nikon Trailblazer 10X50 for about a week now, I must say the decision was perfect.
Quite frankly, I'm amazed with the Trailblazers superb viewing ~ clarity ~ solid/rugged ATB construction.
When you hold these in hand, it really feels like your holding quality.
You get a good feeling even before using them,...call it the X factor.
(30 oz. is also acceptable weight for this quality)
I don't wear glasses, so I needed to turn'up the eyecups 1 click to eliminate any 'vignetting',..no problem.
The 10X magnification is a thrill; with ice forming around them, I spotted 3 Goldeneyes' diving underwater
nearly a half mile away...incredible!
This magnification hasn't given me issues on holding steady view.
One last thing,
I did some personal tests to see if I lost any color or contrast with the Trailblazers,
..the answer is no.
All I got was an accurate, super clear image and a smile!
~ The Nikon Trailblazer 10X50 are clear winners & easily 5 Stars for their stellar value ~

I recently purchased these binoculars after comparing against Nikon Monarch binoculars. The Nikon's well-known model, Monarch binoculars (8 x 42mm) are somewhat smaller, compared to this Trailblazer (50mm model). Since I use these binoculars for astronomy and star gazing, I need binoculars that have a large aperture as possible. Besides, I wear the eye-glasses. So, I wanted binoculars that have a longer eye-relief, also. This model has 19.6mm (0.78") eye-relief. After considering all the above, I decided to try this new model out. Tonight, I watched the comet, C/2007 N3 (Lulin) with my eye-glasses through these binoculars. After I focused the binoculars to Saturn first, I just pulled slightly down to center the comet. I could verify the comet, Lulin very easily. All the star fields I could see in the sight were pin point, crisp and sharp. The image quality is also excellent and it is very easy to handle for a long time because of its light-weight design, compared to the old-fashioned heavy Porro prizm binoculars.
Additionally, the price was very affordable, comparing to somewhat expensive Monarch series. Overall, I am very satisfied with these Trailblazer binoculars. I strongly recommend anyone who wish to do star gazing. At last, 10x power may be a little shaky but if you lean against any wall, trees or car, it should be fine even for star gazing.
If you would have needed more larger aparture, Nikon has Monarch series featuring 56mm aperture models, 8.5x, 10x and 12x but the prices will be 2.5 times more than these Trailblazer series, though. Nikon Trailblazer 10x50 Binoculars - Black

Looks good. Feels good. Is great. April 1, 2010

I like the way these binoculars feel in my hand. Even better, I like what I see when I look through the lenses. Have to remember to adjust the eye pieces but after that it's pretty smooth sailing. Only got them a week or so ago but took them out bird watching recently and it was a delight. Liked that I could use them with sunglasses and without. Images were all sharp and clear. And it was easy to focus and follow birds as they flew across the sky. Last night I brought them to the Hollywood Bowl to see Paul McCartney and I'm glad I did. In the past I brought smaller binoculars to concerts but those 50mm lenses captured more light and greater detail and they didn't feel too heavy in my hands. Have gazed at the moon and stars a few times as well and marveled at all the things I'd never been able to see before from my backyard.
Very good for the price November 15, 2009

I'm happy with these bino's. They are a bit big but they have better eye relief than my brothers 2 1/2 the price monarchs 10x42's and I need that because I wear glasses and the field of view is very good. The single eye right side diopter adjustment is harder than it should be and thats why I'm not giving it five stars. Nikon said you should only need to adjust this once and leave it alone but I've been hunting for over 40 years and used many a bino and when you are looking at distances that vary from 50 to 1000 yds. plus, you need to fine tune the focus from time to time. With the diopter ring being as difficult to turn as it is it can be a bit of a pain. I'm still very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone, especially for the price.
