You didn't read the manual.Strap is too long hit's me in the jewels and makes me yodel
The goofy overly big case is to pad out your lederhosen.

Can's see as much detail on the bird as the SE
Not as good optically as the SE
Not as sharp as the SE
You forgot....
Not as sharp as the SE
No 3D image like the SE
Depth of field not as good as the SE

Waterproof but I don't use them in the rain anyway
Focus not as smooth as the SE
Some people like the ergos of the SE better
Cost 4X as much as the SE
Known to get fungus inside the objectives
Focus is harder to turn one way

It's funny how a bin is [one week] the best ever and [the next] is dumped on with a litany of problems no one ever seemed to know existed before the creation of said thread.
The SE goes from hero to zero in sixty seconds flat.......fickle!
It's in second place, just behind the 8X32 SV.It's funny how a bin is [one week] the best ever and [the next] is dumped on with a litany of problems no one ever seemed to know existed before the creation of said thread.

I wonder if this particular flaw in the SE's construction has been discussed before? Either on this forum or Cloudy Nights or on other binocular forums. I suppose it also applies to many other porro prism binoculars, like for instance Nikon EIIs and Swift's Model 804. I doubt if it is limited to the SE.

There is a pleasure when you use the SE's knowing you have the very best optics available for 1/3 the cost of a top roof prism even with their shortcomings. They have a different type of view than a roof so it makes them unique. The 3D effect can be addictive.Nikon SE's are simply great binoculars at a very good value. At the very top in the catagory of binocular that they are in.
But....... they come with some caveats. For example- many products have a charts or graphs listing characteristics and attributes that has boxes for checking those off; the SE's do not check off all the boxes.
The Swaro SV's to me check off all the boxes.
