Celestron Outland LX 8x42 Reviews

rated 5 out of 5 good all around binoculars--great for the price!
by M. Terrell from San Francisco CA USA, 2010-02-20


Since my passion is photography, I wanted an inexpensive pair of binoculars, saving my dollars for high end optics for camera lenses. I've learned from photography to do diligent research and find the most important features to get good value. I saw that the Celestron binocs had all the features I wanted: a very wide field of view--388 feet at 1000 yards; a close focus distance of 6.1'; waterproof casing and fog proof lenses; and a compact (4.8x2.2x5.6 inches) and lightweight (23 oz)body. I couldn't find any other binocs with all these features at the price I paid for these, and since just one week later they are now listed on Amazon for 30. less, this is even more true. They arrived a day early, and I am quite happy with them--and would be thrilled if I had paid less than 100. for them. They are bright, easy to focus (once I set them up), and can be used with or without glasses. (As someone who is very near sighted, it's a real treat to be able to read a sign two blocks away without my glasses using these binocs). I have been amazed not just at the detail I can now see in watching the birds in the trees near my home-these binocs give a full three dimensional perspective, but have been blown away at the power that allows me to read the United Airlines sign on hangars and clearly see the runways at the airport that's about 5 miles away. Most important, it's fairly easy to switch focus from near to far. I can't wait to take these on vacations, where I know they will bring wildlife up close. One other use I expect they will excel at is watching baseball, especially with the wide field of view. The soft sided case with its own strap, padded strap, and cleaning cloth are nice. The one downside for me is that the caps for the objective lens can't be tethered to the strap, so I had to rig up my own system (a small coin purse attached to the strap). I know there are far better quality binoculars out there, but these are an excellent pair for the money.



rated 5 out of 5 Excellent for first time user of binoculars! Me!
by Judy A. Coene from United States, 2008-09-06


After visiting two local stores to apply "hands on" to different binoculars, and after returning one pair, I took the better part of a day researching binoculars. My sister gave me the specs for her $300+ pair so I used that as a base. Her binoculars carry another brand name but were made by Celestron. Bottom line, I got them home, took them from the box and could see the birds in my yard with a minimum of adjustment. I have always had great difficulty in using binoculars and have always been frustrated when trying to buy a pair. I am extremely happy with these and the price is wonderful. The specs compare to much higher priced binoculars. I learned that my attempts to buy a light weight pair of binoculars was a mistake. The "42" in the 8 x 42 makes a big difference for field of view. Anyway, I am very satisified with my purchase!

Really a good set of binoculars! I got the pair for my wife who had trouble using a pair of more expensive binoculars, she immediately was more satisfied with these than the ones costing two and a half times what these did. Great wide strap makes you feel like there is nothing on your neck!! I am looking at Celestron's spotting scopes since these are so good.



rated 4 out of 5 great buy for the money
by James Hulsey from USA, 2008-06-24


I work at a bird viewing preserve and many of the "serious" birders have some very expensive binoculars. Several have checked out the Celestron bins and are amazed at the clarity and would recommend them to people who don't have a lot of money to spend on a good pair of bins. And the no fault, lifetime warranty doesn't hurt either.



rated 5 out of 5 Great binoculars for a great price
by S. VanCott from PA, United States, 2008-04-26


These binoculars are great buy! Our family has two pairs of the 8x42 (and one pair of the 10x42.) I use them for watching birds.

They produce a very crisp, clear image with bright colors. They are fairly heavy, and are made with solid construction. They also come with a comfy neck strap and case.

I would highly recommend these binoculars for anyone interested in quality optics at a good price.
