Canon CAN1001 15 x 50 Image Stabilising All Weather Binoculars, Black

Product Information

I have the new Canon 14X32 IS binoculars and they are great in many respects, particularly the near focus distance of about 6-8 feet instead of 18-20 feet as is the case for Canon's 12X36 IS model. And the IS stays on for 5 minutes without holding down the button. But these binoculars display purple fringing (chromatic aberration - CA) when the focus is even minutely off. With a very minor turn of the focus dial, the metallic green head of a male Mallard will turn purple. I can imagine all sorts of quirks this could trigger. The green gloss of a Greater Scaup might change to a purple gloss more commonly seen in a Lesser Scaup. And the CA is noticeable on twigs and wires and the edges of almost everything. But when in perfect focus, no CA is seen. The 18x50 is really in a league of its own in hand held binoculars for resolving things, only beaten by the Zeiss 20x60S and possibly the Russian 20x50 and 25x55 stabilized.

Originally developed for use on military small arms, the NXS allows a lower mounting profile. A practical magnification range and large field of view make it an invaluable scope for professionals and serious hunters as well. Whilst the equivalent Vortex Vulture HD 15x56 binocular at 43.6oz is also almost three times heavier than the Vortex Recon R/T 15x50 Monocular and is 7.6 inches long by 5.8 inches wide, whilst the Vortex Kaibab HD 18x56 Binoculars are also very similar. If for some reason parcels are required to be redirected then an additional charge might be levied (where applicable). Also if goods are refused or not called for a charge might also be incurred. This list is not a full and exhaustive list and other reasons may apply. So I called Canon, and was told my concern would be forwarded to an engineer. I got this reply: "I consulted one of our engineers regarding your inquiry. He advised since the Canon Factory Service Center determined the binoculars are working within specifications, the chromatic aberration would be considered normal operation." Enjoy high quality performance, low cost prints and ultimate convenience with the PIXMA G series of refillable ink tank printers.Another downside to the powerful 15x magnification is that this very "zoomed in" image also results in a much narrower field of view. You might just notice a faint jitter of the view and slight changes in the focus that I didn’t find too troublesome.

Take complete creative control of your images with PIXMA and imagePROGRAF PRO professional photo printers. It also comes with all the necessary protection to keep it in excellent condition during your outdoor adventures. The optics are enclosed in a waterproof and sturdy rubber chassis with a comfortable grip, and it's nitrogen-purged to resist fogging. Additionally, you'll receive lens covers for protection, a lanyard for easy carrying and a 1/4-inch screw thread if you prefer to mount it on a tripod.The 10x30 and 12x36 models that I reviewed were superb and that has got me thinking, just how much magnification can you get before even image stabilization binoculars need a tripod? The Vortex Recon R/T 15x50 and Celestron Outland X 10x50 monocular are good options for stargazing because of their larger objective lenses of 50mm. This allows more light to pass through to the eyepiece which aids low light observations. Which monocular features are important? Enjoy excellent viewing in harsh weather conditions thanks to weather resistance to JIS 4 specification. The rugged build quality features a rubber finish to withstand the harshest conditions, making these binoculars ideal for heavy-duty use. Super steady field of view with high magnification Bushnell Legend Ultra 10x42 monocularKnown for its impressive build quality, outstanding optics and valuable extras, it sets itself apart from the competition.★★★★

However, the ease of transport and carrying goes even further than this with the inclusion of a carry clip on the side of the body. Designed for the space conscious outdoor enthusiast and bird watcher, the new Barr & Stroud Sprite Plus 15x50 monocular represents an outstanding combination of performance and value. The Barr & Stroud Sprite Plus is waterproof and features rugged armoured construction. Designed for convenient single-handed use. All Sprite Plus monoculars feature BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated lenses for excellent optical performance, and in addition, the prisms are Phase Coated for enhanced contrast and light transmission. The Apexel 36x super zoom pleasantly surprised us with its optics, featuring BaK-4 glass with roof prisms and multi-coated lenses to minimize ghosting, reflections and lens flare. While the fixed 36x magnification can capture decent images of the Moon, it's important to note that it won't completely fill the field of view, offering around 5.3 degrees. Vortex has opted to use a simple fold-down rubber eye-cup with a side shield shape on the Recon monocular which is an interesting option.

I never thought of looking at magnification gains as a fraction. I don't know if there's a thread here (or a theory) looking at it this way, but it's kind of intriguing and at the same time enlightening, so I'd be really happy to read more about this.
