Canon 8x25 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case and Neck Strap

Canon 8x25 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case and Neck Strap Review



Canon 8x25 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case and Neck Strap Feature

  • 8x magnification with wide field of view
  • Optical image stabilization system
  • Multicoated for contrast, clarity, and color fidelity
  • Doublet field flattener lens
  • Rounded design for holding comfort
Whether you are sitting in the nosebleed seats of a stadium or an opera house, with Canon's 8 x 25 IS binoculars you'll get an outstanding close-up view of the action. The binoculars are designed to fit perfectly in your hands and have a rubber coating for nonslip grip and protection from damage. The focus dial is center-mounted and the image stabilizer controls are easily accessible from either hand. Canon's optical image stabilization technology eliminates shake and reduces curvature of field. The image stabilizer operates with a CR123A Lithium battery. The lenses are coated with Super Spectra multicoating that improves image quality by maximizing contrast and minimizing color smear.

Image Stabilization and More
With any high magnification binoculars, most users will experience frustrating image shake. Unless fixed to a tripod, image shake can render high magnification binoculars useless. Canon's IS technology is remarkably effective at eliminating this problem and is widely used by the television industry with Canon's professional broadcast quality video recording equipment. A special VAP (Vari-Angle Prism) corrective IS system sits between the objective lens group and the porro prism on each side of the binoculars. Within thousandths of a second of the binoculars being moved from their optical axis by vibrations, a detection system activates the IS mechanism. The VAP shape alters to refract or 'bend' the light path by precisely the right amount, thus fully compensating for the vibration. It is this essentially immediate response that effectively suppresses image shake.

Super Spectra Coating
A number of optical factors affect the brightness of an image, including the amount of incidental light that is reflected by the lens. An uncoated lens will refelect away as much as 8% of the incidentail light, significantly dimming the image. Canon's Super Spectra Coating prevents that reflection.

What do the numbers mean?
15x50? 8x25? The two numbers used to describe any pair of binoculars are their magnification — 8x, 12x, 15x and so on — and the diameter of their objective lenses — 25mm, 36mm, 50mm, and so on. The larger the first number is, the larger the object will appear to be in the objective lens. For instance, if you use a 10x lens and look at an object that is 100 yards away, it appears to be the same size as an object located just 10 yards away. The second number, the size of the objective lens, is important because the larger the objective lens, the more light it can admit for brighter, more detailed images, and the better suited they will be for lowlight situations.

A look inside

With Canon's Image Stabilization Binoculars, you'll never look at the world the same way again.

Canon's new 8x25 IS Binoculars are the latest model in the Canon Image Stabilizer series, and brings you outstanding optical performance and unparalleled Image Stabilization capabilities, at an affordable price.

The 8x25 Image Stabilization system works by ''tilting'' a single lens element in the left and right lens barrels to counteract shake. The result is a pair of all-purpose binoculars that is 20% lighter and 25% smaller than similar Canon IS models. Weighing a mere 17 oz. the 8x25 IS Binoculars are the smallest and lightest IS binoculars to date. Combining Canon's newly developed Tilt-System Image Stabilizer technology with a rounded shape for greater comfort and non-slip holding, the 8x25 IS binoculars are perfect for any setting. Whether watching your favorite team at the local stadium, or taking a closer look at the natural world around you the 8x25 IS binoculars are a perfect choice.

  • Optical Image Stabilizer
  • Doublet field flattener lens
  • Super Spectra Coating
  • Closest focusing distance of 3.5 meters/11.5 feet
  • Rounded design for holding comfort

    About Roof Prism Binoculars:
    The prism system of a binocular reduces the size needed to contain a long optical path and turns what would be an upside-down image right-side-up. In roof prism binoculars, the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. Roof prism binoculars are less bulky and more rugged than an equivalent porro model.

    UNDER 25OZ., AND HERE TO CRUSH EVERYTHING IN ITS CLASS. Not just wicked looking, our new Excursion EX has the magnum-powered brightness and clarity to blow the eyecups off any competitor in its price range. Fully multi-coated optics and high-performance BaK-4 prisms with a PC-3 phase coating stretch available light and produce images with the highest level of edge-to-edge clarity. This precision viewing system is contained in a lightweight, double-breidge housing that's nitrogen-purged and fully sealed against all forms of moisture, then wrapped in rubber armor. Its sleek lines and balanced feel are enhanced by a rugged, yet lightweight composite chassis.

    Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.

    Aven manufactures optical inspection tools, precision tools, and bench accessories for industrial, scientific, and research applications. The company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI.

    FAQ

    What can I view with my CaptureView Binoculars?
    A: Use your CaptureView Binoculars for Sporting events, Bird-watching, public events, viewing wildlife. Anything you would use a standard pair of binoculars for, the CaptureView will see and give you the added advantage of capturing the image.

    What programs can I use to manipulate my images? Can I use them to download images from my Camera?
    A: You can use the software programs that are provided on the CD Rom that comes with the CaptureView Camera to manipulate and download images. If you are already using other Photo programs on your computer to manipulate images, they will also work with the CaptureView Camera.

    How many images will my CaptureView hold?
    The CaptureView 8x42 Camera will hold up to 40 images at 2.0 Megapixel Resolution with Built-In Memory. There is also a 3 Megapixel (interpolated) setting that will hold up to 20 images. The 1 Megapixel mode will hold up to 60 images. The VGA mode up to 120.

    These cameras have a Movie Mode. How long can the movies be?
    The movies are taken in Windows AVI Format and can be up to 90 seconds @QVGA (320 X 240 pixels). Use this mode to capture not just a moment, but the mood and feeling of an event.

    What is an SD card?
    An SD card is a Secure Digital Memory Card. This card will allow you to expand the amount of memory on the CaptureView camera up to 256 Megabytes. These cards are available in various sizes and can be purchased from any computer retailer. The CaptureView 8x42 will also work with Multi-Media Cards (MMC) up to 256MB.

    Can I use the CaptureView 8x42 Camera on a Macintosh Computer?
    If using a SD card you can download the images onto a Macintosh computer by using a flash card reader. You can also download your images to a Unix system. When using a flash card reader, the flash card looks like a Hard drive to your computer. Note: You cannot load to a Mac or Unix system using the camera's USB port - the USB port only can download to a Windows operating system.

    How do I focus the Camera?
    The camera is always in Focus from 66 feet to infinity. If you take pictures of objects closer than 66 feet they may appear fuzzy or blurry. When looking through the binoculars you will need to focus them for your eyes, but the camera will always be in focus.

    What is the Flashback Feature?
    A: The FlashBack feature records a movie for a user-selected period of time (5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds). You can record for as long as you like, but you will only save a recording for the period of time you have selected. For example, if you chose 10 seconds, only the last ten seconds of the recording will remain in memory and be saved--the rest of the recording is discarded.

    An example of using the FlashBack feature would be to record a baseball pitcher throwing a pitch. Select 10 seconds from the FlashBack Period submenu. Press the shutter button to begin recording while the pitcher prepares. After the pitcher throws the ball, click on the shutter button again to turn off recording. You'll have saved only the last ten seconds of the pitcher's activity. CL) MU) CAPTURE VIEW DIG 8X42 2MP BI

    Celestron VistaPix 8x32 2.0 Megapixel Binocular / Digital Camera (Champagne Gold)

    Celestron VistaPix 8x32 2.0 Megapixel Binocular / Digital Camera (Champagne Gold) Review



    Celestron VistaPix 8x32 2.0 Megapixel Binocular / Digital Camera (Champagne Gold) Feature

    • Integrated binocular/camera design
    • Images appear twice as bright as regular 22 millimeter binoculars
    • Features continuous video capability
    • Plug and Play compatible with mass storage and no need for drivers
    • Tripod adaptable
    The Celestron 72216 VistaPix 8 x 32 2.0 megapixel binocular/digital camera gives you the best of both worlds. This latest in the line of high-quality Celestron's products combines a powerful binocular for clear, sharp, bright views of the outdoors with a versatile digital camera ready to capture all of your distant sightings.

    With a comfortable, rubber-coated textured body, the Celestron 72216 is a rugged, durable, and functional set of binoculars. The multi-coated lenses and high-quality roof prisms deliver images twice as bright as 22-millimeter binoculars. The binoculars feature an 8x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 32 millimeters, giving it a four-millimeter exit pupil.

    (The exit pupil size--the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification--determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.)

    The Celestron 72216 also sports a digital camera that delivers high-quality images as well as continuous video footage. So when you come across a herd of elk on the distant horizon, with a simple click you can bring them up close and personal for your friends and family back home.

    With 8 MB SDRAM of built-in storage, the Celestron 72216 can hold up to 8 high-resolution, or 20 low-resolution, images. (The camera includes an SD slot for additional storage.) Once you download your images to a PC, Celestron's VistaPix Photo Express SE software will allow you to manipulate your images to your heart's content. Turn your favorites shots from your vacation into postcards that will make your colleagues back at work green with envy. Celestron VistaPix gives you all the tools you'll need to add that creative or personal touch to your still images or video footage.
