Powered Zoom Binoculars

There are times when you are outdoors and need to view objects in great detail. This is not a time for regular binoculars; what you need here are powered zoom binoculars, which have an adjustable power range and allow you to magnify or increase the visual of the object when you want to focus in on the details. Zoom binoculars offer a wide view and bright image at low powers, and zoom in and view distant details quickly and easily.

Some of the well-known manufactures who design and develop powered zoom binoculars, include Nikon, Zhumell, Bushnell, Minolta, and Olympus. Each of the manufacturers offers superb products where you have a variety of features and sizes to choose from. The basic features available are: High quality optics, zoom control, long eye relief, a convenient diopter-adjustment wheel which enables the user to pre-focus the binoculars to his eyesight requirements, and center wheel focusing that allows you to quickly zero in on a subject or track moving objects effortlessly.

All these brands have aspherical eyepiece lenses to provide enhanced sharpness and flatness from edge to edge of the visual field, while anti-reflective multi-coatings provide maximum light transmission and true color depiction. Along with the precision optics is a strong, carbon body with a hardcover that offers outstanding durability.

Sizes vary from Zhumell’s 9-27x 50mm and 16-48x80mm priced at $330-$450 to Nikon’s 8-24x25mm at $245. Olympus has two sizes in this segment, 10-30x25mm and 18-16x25mm $165-$195. Minolta also just has one variety of zoom binoculars - 7-15x35 zoom priced at $316. But before you buy, do some online window- shopping for cool bargains and discounts.
