Product Information

An excellent alternative to the Nature DX ED 12x50 if your aim is astronomy and you want to save money is the Celestron UpClose G2 10x50 porro prism binoculars, which are affordable yet present only minor image distortion. That delivers an amazing image of the desired objects to see the detail you never knew existed. The roof prism attachment makes this pair so light and easy to carry anywhere. With their waterproof and fog-proof construction, they can withstand any outdoor conditions you might encounter. So far, it can be a great option for birding, hunting, wildlife viewing, whale observing, or any other adventures. The Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide is easily one of the best 12×50 binoculars, thanks to the Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide coating system. This works in conjunction with the roof prism design and the superior calcium-fluoride lenses to provide optimal image quality. On paper, the Pentax binoculars had us most excited. While most of the binoculars we tested were waterproof, Pentax takes it to a whole new level. This model is fully submersible up to 1 meter thanks to the JIS class-6 waterproof rating. It’s nitrogen-filled so your lenses also won’t fog up. The body is built rigid but doesn’t feel nice in your hands. We prefer the rubberized armor coating found on many other models. The Celestron UpClose G2 10x50 is about as basic a pair of binoculars as you can get. The Celestron brand makes many different models of binoculars, some exceptionally high-end, but this pair of 10x50s represents the most affordable available.

The second number refers to lens size. A larger lens will make the image brighter and clearer, especially in low light, but will also make the binoculars bigger and heavier (and probably more expensive)This bright, sharp, and reliable model from the Olympus Pro lineup (a new 8x42 version is also available) feature nano coating for the first time in the range. Olympus is renowned for its optical expertise, so it’s no surprise that we get the same high-performance Zuiko optics that it deploys with its camera systems. Indeed, the claim here is these binoculars' optics offer unprecedented light transmittance for their class. Let’s talk about its design part. The body is made of durable Aluminum. The rubber coating provides a layer of protection to prevent your favorite pair from collision and abuse. The large field of view helps to scan your surroundings without moving the focus or your position as well. This is the compact 10x30 iteration, with a 10x magnification married to a 30mm objective lens size. There’s also a slightly higher priced 10x42 alternative available too and likewise covered here. The suggestion is that the 10x30 matches the 10x42’s performance – and in a more compact form. Plus, the rugged construction makes it tough enough to handle any outdoor adventure. With A 5.2-degree field of view, you will be able to see everything in your surroundings with ease, and the BK7 standard Porro Prism ensures a clear, crisp image every time. All of Canon’s current range of binos have the ‘IS’ suffix in their model name to denote the fact they’re image-stabilized binoculars. This battery-operated option enables you to get a wobble-free image by just pressing a button on the binoculars – and the stabilizing effect is both instant and jaw-dropping.

At 11-inches (280mm) in length and weighing 3 lbs (1.36kg), we found in our Celestron SkyMaster Pro 15x70 binocular review that they certainly have a lot of heft, but using them handheld isn't impossible. You'd be most comfortable if you mounted them to a tripod. However, because of their high magnification, the views of the moon are absolutely breathtaking. We were especially impressed by the stereoscopic viewing of the lunar surface.

These binoculars offer a good view, and we managed to spot three stars within the Trapezium Cluster near the center of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42). To see the fourth bright star in this star-forming area, a pair with higher magnification would be needed. These are affordable skywatching binoculars that would be ideal for anyone just starting out who wants to get the most for their money. While there are some true wins to this model, there are a few reasons why they're on the cheap side, and we discussed them in our Celestron UpClose G2 10x50 binocular review. This means that for your hobby or subject, it's worth thinking about what the best combination of magnification of objective lens size will work for you. If price isn't a concern and you just want the best optical quality on the market to date, then this pair of Swarovski CL Companion 8x30 compact binoculars are just the thing to let you observe wildlife from as close to 3 meters all the way up to 132 meters – with crystal clear vision.

In our Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars review, we thought that even though they are pricey, they are almost perfect for hand-held astronomy, so we believe the cost is justified if you can afford it. The coating also enhances the light-gathering capacity and removes blurriness from the picture. You will get the sharp, clear, and bright output of the targeted images. The focusing system is also smooth and the focus wheel is easy to operate. You can rotate the ultra soft-focus wheel to get vibrant images even in low light conditions. The body material is aluminum. It comes with rubber armor protection as well. That makes the pair anti-slip and comfortable to hold. The specialty of this pair is, that you can watch objects in low light conditions like sunset moments when birds and animals move towards their nest and cave. We were happy with the performance of these binoculars during nighttime use. The Pleiades star cluster looked sharp and clear across the entire view, with only a slight decrease in quality towards the edges, and there was no noticeable color distortion.These are fantastic entry-level binoculars that punch well above their modest price tag. They are new to the market and hold their own against more expensive binos because, as we found during our Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 binocular review, the optics are fantastic for the price. The eye relief is very long at 20.2mm and the eyecups are adjustable — this is excellent news for anyone who wears glasses and makes for a comfortable viewing experience for all. 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. This roof prism pair of premium-feel binoculars delivers results that are truly outstanding, albeit for a price. That said they’re slim, lightweight and easy to use, while being fogproof and waterproof too, to depths of five metres for up to 10 minutes. Delivering the sort of sharpness that will satisfy the most demanding of wildlife watchers or birders – thanks in part to its ED glass construction – the 10x magnification wedded to 42mm objective lens provides good views into the twilight hours. Inevitably they’re slightly heavier and bigger than the closest 10x30 model in the same series, though. The 12x magnification alone means inherent unsteadiness compared with 10x rivals. What's more, at 36.8 oz/1kg, it's necessary to employ a few tried and tested techniques to keep their clean, crisp and bright views still enough to properly appreciate, not least of all the possibility of mounting them on a tripod. However, the Nikon Action EX 12x50 remains a heavyweight in all regards, with excellent outdoorsy build quality and reliable optics that make them highly recommended. If the Nikon Action EX 12x50 binoculars aren't for you: This will make your observing journey smooth and comfortable as well. What about the construction? This binocular is made out of polycarbonate, meaning that they are tough and will be able to withstand any kind of wear and tear. The whole body is rubber-coated, which makes them slip-resistant and easy to hold on to. At the same time, provide rugged protection against bumps and scratches.

When using the Celestron TrailSeeker 8x42 binoculars, you'll notice minimal false color. False color, which appears as a purple or blue halo around bright objects (also known as chromatic aberration), was hardly noticed in our review, especially when we were looking at the lunar limb.

Given how lightweight and compact the Nature DX ED 12x50 are (they weigh 28.4oz/806g and measure 163x135x61mm/6.4x5.3x2.4-inches) — we were able to take them out for tests at several events. These binoculars are completely waterproof and fog-resistant due to their sealed design and nitrogen purging. You can use them with confidence in any weather conditions, whether indoors or outdoors, making them especially useful for stargazing. This binocular offers superior performance and value. The lenses are made from spherical multicoated eco-glass, which provides excellent image quality and clarity. The Porro prism attachment delivers high-resolution images of the targeted objects. Binoculars largely come in two varieties when it comes to coatings: they’re either fully coated or multi-coated. In both versions, all lenses, glass surfaces and prisms feature at least one layer of magnesium fluoride or calcium fluoride. Binoculars with multi-coated optics are the most superior kind you’ll be able to find on the market, with at least one of the surfaces featuring several layers of anti-reflective compounds.
