absolutely, they are great. My husband uses his all the time. We live in Montana on a cattle ranch so we can watch our cattle from far far away. you will be happy with them.

I would say so they are gas filled so never fog up. Nikon makes good binocs.

I love mine, especially the 40x zoom. I took it this Fall on an Alaskan cruise and the photos are amazing.

The biggest problem I've had with binoculars and looking through a camera viewfinder from my kayak on reasonably calm seas (3-4 foot swell 13 seconds) is rapid onset sea sickness. I would like like to try image stabilized (IS) binocs, but the waterproof ones are very pricey. If your boat is bigger and you're not getting regular splash, you might try the non-waterproof ones (they don't seem to make IS monoculars).

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] comThey monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year.I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

It is an "all purpose" camera.....land or water. Has virtually all the settings as my much more expensive digital SLR. We bought one to take on a cruise in October 2013. It was perfect. Only down side is when the battery goes, it goes FAST..... suggestion would be to purchase extra batteries + charger enabling you to have spares all the time.

The biggest possible is the 18-200 F3.5 Nikkor with a polarizing filter without jeopardizing the capability of the bag. Two weeks in the Caribbean, on a sailboat-no problem. Follow directions to fully protect your camera. Great investment. It will float when properly sealed and dropped in water.

We used the camera for work and it takes great pictures . Haven't used a lot for land scape feature - We were refered to this Camera from a friend who used this on a trip to Alaska and took some awsome pictures of the mountains and valleys.

I used it when I traveled in Alaska and it worked great. i took many pictures with it and they turned out beautiful. I love this lens.

The main thing for the Handy Cam is video instead of still. Best still is 8 MP, but 1.5 hours of video with 16GB onboard memory and small battery. Video is HD and plugs right into the best HDMI TV with perfect screen resolution. It will blow your mind. The 55x mag is cool in the video...getting great close up without movement of the camera position. Great Alaska pictures in first outing. Need mono-tripod for 55x ... hand holding is a little shaky. The love and enjoyment of picture taking...requires more than one camera...now can have great (Yet affordable) still, video, and sound. Just add this camera to your already great still camera.Steve The main thing for the Handy Cam is video instead of still.

I bought a cheap one from Amazon. Not as smooth as a Nikon one, but not bad at all. About a quarter of the price.

I've only had this model for a few months, but I had the earlier model for nearly two years. Both offer great performance, are very reliable and take excellent photos. I spend most of my time out-of-doors in rough terrain and all types of weather. Have had no difficulties with either of them.

I have Nikon p100 and it worked for me....I took it under the Niagara fall...and it was perfectly waterproof

I'm a sailor as well. I haven't taken these on a boat, but I've used my older Nikons (1970's) on a boat for years with no problem. That said, if I were paranoid about it and could afford it, I'd buy a waterproof pair.

We have been very happy with these for travel. I have been to Alaska and I believe these would work well. There are probably better ones out there for $1500, but we thought these were really good.

No. I took it to Alaska and never even used it. Of course, I have the 55-200, which is a much better lens. If you don't have any other zoom, and someone gives you a 55-300, then sure!

All my gear is Canon & the only Nikon I have is an AW100 that is great for carry around, underwater, etc. shots! It takes great pictures but I have always had Canon & can't start over with Nikon although I actually think that it is just as good if not better. Sorry I couldn't help any more than this. I did read some reviews on Adorama & B&H;'s website & most said that it worked on their D90 so if you feel lucky about what others have said, I would get it! I have this for my Ultra Wide Angle on my Canon & I love it!
