Informative but it seems nobody making such a comparison on youtube wants to just get a pair of each and point the camera through them. Maybe it wouldn't be the best impression but I think it would allow some comparison other than zooming in on a photo at different magnifications or in addition to describing it with words.
Hi, yes I have tried in the past, but to be honest it basically gives a very bad impression of what the view is like. However, i may give it another go sometime using a digiscoping adapter as this may give us a better result.
I am no expert in archery buck hunting, but as with any use, you need to think about it in terms of the core features (Size, Weight, Power/Image detail, Field of view, image brightness and low light performance) and which ones are most important to you. So if weight and size are more important than low light performance go with an 8x42 or 10x42, but if low light and image brightness are more important go with a 50mm. Likewise with the magnification. If a wide field of view is more important than more image detail / or if you hunt at closer ranges and low light is important than an 8x will generally be a better option than 10x. For more detail take a look at my video on 10x42 vs 10x50 Binoculars www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/blog/10x42-vs-10x50-binoculars-09/
I want to ask somethink .Why my STEINER ULTRASHARP SAFARI 8x22 its extremely sharp in the center but in the edges is getting a little blurry? Many said that this is normal because of good quality glass
Hi, it depends as different people have different experiences, have less stable hands or are just more sensitive to image shake than others : For me the amount between 8x and 10x binoculars is negligible and not something that really influences my decision, that is unless I am going to be on an unstable platform like a boat. In which case I would most probably opt for the lower magnification.
is it true that to keep similar fov of 8x binoculars user can chose 10x with bigger objective lenses? for example 8x30 or 10x42, an what about image shake in this case?
No not really, objective lenses do not play a part in determining the field of view. Whilst image shake is increased with a 10x magnification it is only a very minor difference between 8x and 10x. For me, image shake is not really a problem up to 12x. I can even use 15x binoculars for short times from the hands as well. But for long periods of observation a tripod is better at these high magnifications.
@@Bestbinocularsreviews I have 8x25 with 7,4° fov, I like it, but want something with higher power but still compact, I found candidates 10x30 with 6,3-6,8°, cannot find any good quality compacts (28-32mm) with 12x power ...
At 12x power you really should at least get a 42mm otherwise the exit pupil just gets too small and you end up with a very dull image and it gets harder and harder to line your eyes up with the light exiting the eyepieces, so end up with black rings on the edges.

Love your videos.

Really helpful
Hi Scott, Glad to hear that and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated
Very understandable. Thanks.
Hi Matthew, you're welcome and many thanks for the kind words - very much appreciated,
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
what do you think is best for archery buck hunting?8x42, 10x42 or 10x50???????????????? thanks

Is there negligible difference in 8×50 & 10×50 in image shaking or 8×50 is Better in this matter please suggest .

Team BBR how is Olympus 10x50 DPSI Wide-Angle Binocular.
Hi there - thanks for the question, but it is hard for me to say as I have not actually used or tested this model. Sorry.
