Product Information

Will they suffice or do you need a more expensive pair? That depends on what you're after. Equipped with 10x magnification and 50mm objective lenses, the UpClose G2 10x50 are both powerful and fast, offering plenty of magnification and also able to collect a lot of light. The 7x magnification and 50mm objective lenses make the Celestron Cometron 7x50 perfect for kids (see them featured in our best binoculars for kids guide). It is a known fact that children have better night vision than adults, meaning they do not require high-end binoculars to see the same amount of light that an adult would with a more powerful pair.

The BaK-4 prism attachment enhances the image quality as well as reduces glare from the images. This prism is coated with phase-detected coating as well. You can see even in low-light conditions. The 50mm objective lenses provide an exceptionally clear and bright image no matter what the conditions are. Plus, the lightweight construction and rugged design make them perfect for any outdoor activity. The HD features extra-low dispersion glass and phase-corrected prisms, which work together to produce a stunning image with incredible detail.As for the eye relief in binos, it’s the maximum distance from the ocular lens that users can see the entire viewing angle. This is especially crucial for people who wear glasses as sometimes they can only see part of the image in the ocular lenses. As such, binos like the Pentax SP are better suited for them as the large 20mm eye relief ensures they can see the entirety of the whole image. Roof prism binoculars like the Nature DX ED 12x50 exist because they're more compact and easy to travel with than porro prism binoculars, and not because they transmit more light. They don't — which is why the phase-coated BaK-4 glass roof prisms and the ED make a big difference. In our opinion, these binoculars are an excellent option for those on a budget and starting with stargazing or exploring. They are lightweight and ideal for trekking. However, we did notice a couple of downsides during our review. First, they require collimation, which means adjusting the alignment of the lenses. They are also prone to fogging in certain conditions. The Nikon Action EX 12x50, weighing in at 2.3 lbs (1.04kg), is too heavy for long bouts of stargazing. The higher magnification will enhance any image wobble, so we advise using a tripod.

The Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 uses a roof prism design whose primary advantage is a space-efficient, more portable design. Essentially two tubes attached by a hinge (as opposed to the L-shaped optical engine between the tubes on a pair of porro prism binoculars), the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50's tubes are nitrogen-purged to help reduce the threat of internal fogging. Yes, you can use a 12×50 binocular for birding, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, 12×50 binoculars have a relatively narrow field of view, so you will need to be careful when scanning an area for birds. Celestron Cometron 7x50Their small size and light weight (1 lb 11 oz) let you use them all day, yet you can still hand-hold them comfortably after sunset and long into your dark night of sky-watching.Considering what and who they're for, for the price, they're hard to beat. ★★★★With fully coated binos, all lenses and glass elements have at least one coating layer. With multi-coated optics, you find multiple coating layers in at least one of the primary optical elements. Finally, with fully multi-coated optics, all the optical elements have numerous coating layers and thus have the best light transmission. You may experience some confusion when shopping for binoculars. At first glance, they may look similar, but they vary in terms of size, type, and features. For example, in some devices, a single thumbwheel adjusts the focus of both telescopes simultaneously. Others allow you to control the focus separately to ensure you get varying characteristics in both telescopes. What’s the Difference Between Magnification Power and Objective Lens? Also, the weather resistance of the binos could determine how you use them. If your binos are not waterproof, you can’t use them in wet weather. The same is the case for foggy conditions if your binos are not fog proof. Of course, the level of weather resistance you choose should be determined by how you intend to use the binos. For instance, if you typically encounter fog while bird watching, it’s a good idea for the binos to be fog proof. Size and Weight
