Which Canon Binoculars Are For You?
|
They've got a great selection that includes compacts up to 18x50's. And a company that builds quality cameras and lenses has no trouble transferring that technology to their binoculars so you know you are getting quality lenses that are going to be hard to beat. Multi-coated, ultra low dispersion glass provide a sharp distortion free image. And of course they'll stand up to all kinds of weather conditions with their water resistant bodies. But deciding which pair of binoculars to choose can be a bit overwhelming. This buyer's guide should help you decide which pair is right for you. Binocular are really just 2 telescopes that are mounted beside each other giving a stereoscopic view. They are simply a tool to help increase your ability to see objects from a distance. But what type of objects you want to see will determine what type of binoculars you need. To make that determination you need to know the terminology. 1. Field of ViewThis is the area you see through the lens. It is generally measured in yards and ranges from 250 to 1000 feet.2. MagnificationThis is the number of times more than can be see with the naked eye. So a binocular that reads 7x35 means that you can see seven times what the naked eye would see.3. ApertureThis is the second number you see. So in 7x35 it is the 35 and it tells you the size of the front of the lens. General use binoculars range from 20 to 60 mm.4. MagnificationThe higher the magnification the lower the light and the poorer the brightness of the image.5. Antireflection CoatingIs common on almost all lenses to help decrease any reflections and also to stop distortions from occurring. You'll see lenses advertised as multi-coated, fully coated, or fully multi-coated which is the best coating proving the brightest viewing and the best clarity.6. FocusingUsually you'll find the focus wheel in the center of the binoculars. This adjusts both eyepieces at the same time. The near feature which is the closest focus point is very important to bird watching so make sure you know where it is.7. WaterproofA water resistant or waterproof finish is a wise choice. It gives you piece of mind that your binoculars will hold up in a rain storm or fowl weather.8. Eyeglass WearerWearing glasses can be a real pain when it comes to using binoculars. If you wear glasses choose binoculars that have rubber cups on the eye pieces which help hold your glasses in place. Canon offers a full line of binoculars. You already know that the product is built to last, that the warranty is one of the best in the industry, and that the optics are of the highest quality. All that's left to decide is which Canon binoculars are right for you. About The Author: Stacey Poppen has been a professional writer and is in the industry for last 10 years.
