These binoculars could be considered Nikon's budget model, but they certainly pack plenty of power. Available for $147 at Amazon, the Nikon Aculon A211 binoculars 10-22x50 come with a soft case, a neck Strap, a tripod Adapter TRA-2, an eyepiece cap and 2x objective lens caps.
Their 50x lenses allow in enough light that they are suitable for stargazing, and their rugged constructions mean they should stand up to reasonably heavy use, certainly being shoved into a backpack, though it is still an idea to use the provided case.
Plus, they have enough magnification power that they're suitable for wildlife watching, so you'll get plenty of use out of them. Thanks in part to their Porro prisms, they offer an impressive 3.8-degree field of view, though that'll narrow as you get closer to 22x.
Key features: 10-22x magnification, 3.8-degree angle of view, 50mm objective diameter.
Price history: Before today's deal, these dipped to $147 in August, but this is the joint-lowest they've been in years, and they're the same price at B&H Photo and Adorama. You can also get these Nikon Aculon A211 binoculars refurbished from Adorama for $80.
Price comparison: Amazon: $147 | Adorama: $147 | B&H Photo: $147
