Nikon Prostaff 3S 10X42 Binoculars

Product Information

In terms of light transmission, we get class-leading premium BaK-4 prisms utilized in the construction allied to fully multi-coated lenses. And, while, we’d have to say that overall clarity is not quite up there with Nikon’s premium Monarch HG binocular line up – you will pay more for those models for the privilege.

Internal reflection is more prominent in the 3s’s series binoculars which has a noticeable hazying affect on the image quality presented to the eyes.

I've been playing around with them since noon, and I estimate from my perception that the sweet spot is about 65-70%, images in the center field of view is tack sharp as my Vortex Viper 10x42! Firstly, we introduce you through an overview of both the 3s and 7s series binoculars Nikon has introduced to the outdoor enthusiasts over the year and then we will move on to the detailed comparison between them.

When narrowing down our list of the best binoculars, we looked for those that had good magnification, could keep images bright and steady, and had great light-gathering power, without being too expensive. For 10x magnification optics, these will be really nice for hiking because of the wide field of view too. The roof prism’s mirror surfaces come with high-reflectivity, silver alloy mirror coating, which ensures decent brightness and clarity. The low-cost Opticron Savanna WP 6x30 binoculars are portable, waterproof, and contemporary-looking porro prism binoculars and they’re as suited to youngsters as they are adults.

Digital Camera World is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. They also require a continuous pressing of the anti-shake button which may be of note for those with arthritis or finger joint pain.

The Nikon Monarch 5 20x56 sits near the top of their binocular line-up and this roof prism-type binocular weds a powerful 20x magnification to a relatively gargantuan 56mm objective lens to let in plenty of available light. It constantly innovates in the fields of digital imaging technology and sports optics, serving its consumers’ best, evolving interests. As well as being compact enough for little hands, they’re relatively lightweight too, at a little under 500g, while offering a relatively wide field of view for curious eyes and minds. These binoculars are perfect for those casual users only starting their journey as outdoor enthusiasts. Carrying the 3s series would definitely feel less stressful than the 7s series while on long expeditions.The Celestron brand makes many different models of binoculars, some exceptionally high-end, but this pair of 10x50s represents the most affordable available. For the money being asked we feel that you really cannot go far wrong with the Nikon Prostaff 3S 10x42.
