7:22. look at the stairs coming down on the left side of the 4 story building. With the Celestron 15x70 you can't even tell they're stairs... now look at the nikon. you get actual stairs.
Excellent video. The best way to compare the features of different binoculars. This video has resolved my problem of buying the right binoculars. Many thanks.
I currently own Nikon 12x50 Action EX & before I got this I had the 16x50 ones, have you noticed massive light reflection issues around the edges too due to the Multi-coated lenses as opposed to Fully Multi-coated that is supposed to eliminate that issue?
@@DieTabbi Because of the brand name and especially the price tag. People care only about price tags. I wouldn't buy or use 15x magnification binoculars for terrestrial observations. It's gonna shake too much. The ones with image stabs are of course fine even at 20x, e.g. Canon. More than 50mm lenses are not needed for terrestrial viewing either. *Large lens binoculars are needed only for astronomy,* they also have to have an optimal exit pupil (around 7mm) size which means the lowest magnifications possible. Of course if the night is not dark enough or there's too much "light pollution"(almost everywhere nowadays), nothing is gonna help. Best binos for astronomy are 7x50, 12x70 and 10x70. They are needed for DSOs (deep sky objects like galaxies, nebulae, star clusters). Planets can be watched even from the city with a lot of light pollution. All you need is a sturdy tripod with fine adjustments (for tracking the planet manually) and a telescope with like 100x and at least 80mm lens but such a telescope is almost useless when it comes to DSOs, although buying a 40mm eyepiece (it will give the lowest magnification possible and the largest exit pupil to collect most of the light) remedies the situation a little bit. Especially useless for DSOs are the most expensive Cassagrains -- just too much magnification which results in a very small exit pupil. Disclaimer: Nikon binos are excellent as well as cameras. I myself use Nikon cameras and love them but I'm not brand loyal. I use binos mainly for astronomy. For terrestrial purposes 7x40 or 10x40 is enough. Of course a pair of binoculars with a stab and high magnification is worth it IMO if you need it but the field of view will be much, much smaller.
@@Kpaojd Yes, of course. That said, shake is above average at x12. It also depends on how steady you can hold binoculars. Longer (bigger) ones are easier to hold steady if you hold them close to the objective lens and lean the eyepieces against your eyes. However some people find it uncomfortable or difficult to hold heavier binoculars. I have the 12x70 Celestron and it's pretty steady when I hold them the way I just described. I guess I can even get away with 15x70 but it's gonna be a lot of shake anyway. You should try different magnifications by visiting some store. It's even possible to use x20 but the shake is very strong and horrible. Yet, you will still be able to see an airplane with very shaky/jerky viewing. So the question is how much shake we can tolerate. I say x15 is the upper limit but for a quick glance x20 may also work. So I don't recommend magnifications above x15 while x12 is relatively nice but it's all relative. Small shake is only at around x7 but that's not much of magnification. I also don't recommend zoom binoculars because the field of view (FOV) is terrible on them. Even zoomed out, they usually have 1.5-2 times smaller FOVs vs non-zoom binoculars. Yet, airplanes or helicopters are very small targets that don't require large FOVs. So a pairs of zoom binoculars might be a good option for watching flying planes. I would not recommend going past x20 though. Say, 8-20x50 or 8-20x40 would be nice. It means you can change magnification from x8 to x20. While they are superb for plane-spotting, FOVs are terrible on zoom binoculars. It means for most other purposes they will suck. People just buy them because their specs look cool: you can have any magnification you like. Folks forget or don't know that FOVs will suck on such binoculars. The ideal solution is stabilized optics like on Canon binoculars. The latter means the price will be 5-10 times higher. I'm afraid you won't see a lot of detail on flying planes with x12. Overall, x12 binoculars are an excellent choice for terrestrial viewing.
@@DieTabbi Personally for plane-spotting I would buy something like a Celestron 15x70 or even 15-35x70 for a quick glance at a plane at much higher magnifications. That's because I can hold a much longer/bigger binocular steadier and because large magnifications are needed for flying planes while FOV doesn't matter. A good choice would also be 15x50 or 16x40 or something like that because 12x40 or 12x50 will yield less appealing viewing of planes/helicopters. Also note that non-zoom binoculars produce more detailed viewing. Also larger lens binoculars produce more detailed viewing (more resolution). For example, the 15-35x70 has such huge lenses that you won't loose any resolution. The only problem will be shake and loss of FOV due to excessive magnification and zoom respectively.
The one with best focus and the least chromatic aberration seems to be the Celestron. I'd personally favour crisp focus and lack of chromatic aberration over sheer magnification, especially for star gazing.
Nikon shot seems to be taken at a different time. Look at the lower floor of the house complex on the right. There seems to be something white covering the bottom of the windows, that isn't visible in all three of the other shots. If so, maybe those stairs to the left of the building, which people are pointing out, were illuminated from a different angle due to the different time of day, and/or more direct sunshine.
You are spot on. Good point. Celestrons were used when the stairs were darker and the camera smudged them. Celestrons are not that bad. Actually the Celestron 15x70 would have outresolved slightly all 15x50 competitors (even $1000 binos) if the test had been fair. At 2:37 I can clearly see the stairs even on the 10x50. So stairs have different illumination for sure to justify the price of the Nikon and Vanguard. It's just people blow it all out of proportion. I mean if something is not $1000, it's a piece of sh..t. That's why it's even been shot on the iPhone. Some people do it even on purpose. However I did like this video and I gave it a like. It's common practice in ads to belittle or exaggerate slightly. I have no problem with it. I even expect it from all advertisements. This channel (like a shop) shows various equipment and brands and that's a huge plus. I hate it when somebody just respects Rolex, iPhone, Leica and Vinyl LP records. It's not just crazy. It's snobbish and it's utterly moronic!
Nice review! But if resolving long distance mage is primary concern, isn't a large refractor telescope with image rectifier diagonal the best choice? Probably good 90mm/100mm refractor telescope can deliver better image and more magnification than every single binoculars out there.
Cool review! After reading the description, I immediately realized from the performance characteristics of the models that Nikon would be the leader and that Vangaurd would be much worse. Nikon has vast experience in the production of ultra-long focus lenses 400mm 500mm 600mm 800mm

Hi Science Sir, wonder if my Zoom 9x-27x50 is a good binocular for sky whatshing. I admit that I don't realy understant the numbers indicated on my binocular, for instant 9? x-27?x50?. I know that they are distances, buty what distances actualy? I'm using a tripod for my binocular. Thank you for advice.🙂
Those numbers are for magnification of the image and the objective lens diameter. For example: 10x50 means the binoculars can magnify an image by 10 times and have objective lens diameter 50mm.
@@science_sir Thank you for your response. So the numbers -27(check the - before 27)X50 could mean 27 times 50 = 1350 FT? But the 9X what ? Are there any web sites that explain how to read the numbers on the Zoom 9x-27x50. I have check the Zoom web site, but there is no information about this situation that I consider basique information on how to understand the numbers to read on a binocular. I suppose for those who have binoculars that is not a problem since everyone should already know this. Have a nice day.
@@Norbitek25 Yes I finaly understood how to read the numbers on the Z00M binocular. the 9X -27x 9 times to 27 times. When I move the andle on the right side of the lens ot the binocular , it move the lens on the left side of the binocular, so it does the zoom I need to see the object at a distance from 9 timesto the number of distance I need. Thank you for your reply. Have a nice ending day.☺
Superb view from nikon 16*50 its worth the money. But is it true more magnification brings less light to the object. I am confused between nikon 10*50 and 16*50. Dont know which one to buy. My purpose is just casual watching, plane spotting and yeah at night for astronomy. Can you please suggest. Thank you

Nikon 16×50 is the best
Greetings, I have a question for friends who are experienced in this field. As an amateur, I enjoy watching nature and the sky.
To start, I was torn between Nikon Aculon 10x50 vs 12x50.
Which one would you recommend and under what conditions?
because its have extra ıphone 11 zoom ??
Men see video Men happy
Men see price men dishappy.
15 is better than 16 ??
16x50 es mejor que 30x60 ?
Was it really 6.5 kms straight line distance?
well, if not a straight line, it was still longer than 6,5 km, use trigonometry to find that out
