[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 43432, member: 25"]The camera is not all that desirable but you have good pairs of moderate and high power glasses, they are not madly valuable but you have a binocular for all occasions, the 7X20 for general purpose, although a 7 x 30 would be better but less compact. The 12 x 50 are good for birdwatching, nature, and voyeurism, bulkier but higher magnification and better light gathering power. The first figure is the magnification, the second is the field of view in conventional form and the other figures express the field of view in other ways, one in degrees of arc and the other in what amounts mathematically to the same thing with a spot of trig. They just say how wide an area you can see at once. It's up to you how you decide if you might ever need binoculars, but I'd not be without a pair round the house and you have two to pick the most appropriate from.[/QUOTE]
