It uses ED glass, is waterproof, the FoV is 74-32m at 1000M and only weighs 590g (inc. eyepiece). There's an even smaller x7-x22x50 scope which weight 540g (not sure of the price). Just how small these scopes are can be appreciated by this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQWM5yQyrcg" target="_blank">video </a>Celestron may be an unfashionable brand, but I really like the specifications of the 'less small' scope.  I'm not sure how much that extra 6mm makes, but every little helps. It's about time Nikon lost its bragging rights as the best small travel scope</blockquote>
