  • Good deal for Harry

    8x42 is a good sweet spot imo. If you go to, say, 10x42, you’ll get reduced image brightness, and worse twilight performance (due to the smaller exit pupil). To maintain the same exit pupil, you would have to shift to a 10x50 (larger and heavier).

    Also, an 8x will amplify your hand shake by 8x. A 10x amplifies it by 10x. So it’s easier to handhold these binos.

  • Anyone chasing some 12x56 could look up Scoped Out for the Delta Titanium, reduced from 700 to 500. https://www.scopedout.com.au/Delta-Optical-Titanium-12x56-RO…

  • Good for all rounder use? Thought I wanted a 10x42 set but now not sure

      There is not much difference between 8x and 10x (I have both) but it's easier to hold 8x without hand shaking.

    My neighbours hate this deal

      I am beginning to think the single mum of 3 next door is doing it on purpose though

  • What are the best binos on the market with a camera function (including of course, the 'anti-shake' thing that all phones/digital cams now have)?

    This seems to be an oddly hard product to find, at least for a decent price. Is there a logical reason for this? I would have thought that all decent binos (and telescopes for that matter) would have an in-built cam these days, because it would be so cheap to incorporate that; but no. Why?

      Have a very short think about how cameras work, versus how binoculars work (re the optical path).

    • Why sell you a product that does two things when they can sell you two products?
