Those are a little better than your basic bicocs and bushnell is a good brand he’ll like them that’s for sure. As for how far he’ll be able to see in them not really sure, at full magnification he should be able to see a good ways away. The bigger the number the further you’ll be able to see, like if they say 10×50mm which is what I believe they are you’ll see a ways away and see clear.
yeah u can spy on your neighbors with them for sure. good luck
Bushnell are pretty average. Taesco is about the same in terms of quality. In my opinion, telescope manufactuerers, like Celestron, make better optics for their binoculars than other manufacturers.
The 65x magnification – are you sure about that? Most garden variety binoculars are 7x or 8x. I’ve seen as high as 50x, but I’ve not seen 65x (though I haven’t been looking for a pair of Binoculars). Magification is really the measure of how far you can see. Typically you’ll see something like 7×35 or 8×21, etc. The 8/7 is the magnification, the 21/35 the objective lens diameter (in mm) which is really a measure of how much light the lens lets in (more important when viewing in low lighting conditions).
The quality of the optics is far more important. You can zoom the heck out of a fuzzy image and it’s still a fuzzy image. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good measure to quantify optic quality (that I’m aware of).
I hope that magnification number is not right. At 65x power the bino is useless for handheld operation, he’ll need to carry around a tripod to look through that thing.
Now, the most important info is missing here. Bushnell makes some really nice models and some really crappy ones. So it all depends on which model it is.
Now here’s a question what is he trying to do with the bino, for bird watching for example that bino is useless, because the field of view is extremely narrow. For just looking far though, the 65x power on this thing will allow him to see far far away. Just make sure that is correct, I don’t know of any bushnell model with a 65x power.
I'm voting for "It's Still Good."
what a weekend – but finally, I get to get back to normal today.stroll in the sunshine followed by visit at Mums for dinner.Good sunday!
Love them all, but I would put the hair up for a professional site like LinkedIn, or make your hair the way you would for a job interview.
Filed under: App Review Last week I was pleased to suggest some free astronomy programs of interest to star-gazers. This week, I’m at it again hoping that space or science buffs get a look at Moon Globe. This very handy app gives you a complete map of our nearest space neighbor, showing you what is visible on any night and from any location. The on-screen display of the moon at the current phase is striking, and very detailed. You can zoom in or out with the usual pinch and stretch moves you are familiar with. It’s easy to magnify up to 300 times with stunning detail. With a tap, you will see where spacecraft have landed on the moon and identify surface features like craters, mountain ranges and valleys. The mosaic of pictures that make up the presentation are seamless, and the app gives you the tools to exactly match what you might see in binoculars or a telescope. That’s really helpful, because some telescopes reverse the image left to right, or up and down. You can duplicate those…
I’m sure they are great binocs, Nikon has copied the Swaovski’s EL’s in nearly every regard with the EDG. The least they could do is offer them for less money.
