why do so many people prefer these over the 20x80 and 25x70?

15x is at the upper limit of what can be hand held. Higher powers would need a tripod to be steady enough. Even at 15x some people would need a tripod or something to lean against. Lower powers give wider fields of view and brighter images. Large binoculars such as 80mm are heavy and need a tripod regardless of magnification. If you want both bright images and high powers look into larger binoculars such as 80 or 100mm.

I personally would not go more powerful than 15x ... very hard to keep an object in view hand held at 20x. Even these are pretty 'jumpy' - even a small movement causes your target to be lost. Helps to have a tripod, even at this power.

I read that it'sto do with the exit pupil size and why I went for 15x70. Apparently adult pupils (those over age 25) have a pupil diameter of around 5mm. So with 15x70 binoculars that's an exit pupil size of just under 5mm (the 70 divided by the 15). So essentially these will let in the maximum amount of light into your eye thus giving the sharpest and brightest image. I believe that if you buy 25x70s then the images may appear quite dark. PS still waiting for mine to arrive so and brand new to astronomy so happy to be corrected. Hope this helps.

I think the answer is that they have a slightly larger field of view and seem to also have less collimation issues. Reading reviews of all three I choose these and now that I have them in hand I am glad I did.

Not sure that all folks do !! However, wider field of view on these means you can find your target quicker; plus less collimation issues here (why I'm not sure) means better and more reliable focus; plus these can be hand-held longer with less wobble due to relatively lighter weight and lower magnification.

If im not mistaken is 20x20 but wait until you get them so u can be sure. Because they look huge.

I wouldn't think there is any in terms of sizing or construction, as opposed to a 700x23. They have different sellers and therefore different prices.

Thanks, T., that's good information. I wish I had the space (and cash) for one of those, especially the 42PZ700, but I'll still probably grab a 42PX60U. I did see a couple of sites with specs on the 75U models that showed them slightly wider than the 42PX60U (and a bit too wide for me.)I wonder about all the sites which are advertising these TVs (the 75U in particular) and claiming to have them in stock.

Dito on Breaux's answer. More light, heavier, bigger. The 80 works fine for me.

True 1920x1080i (not 1440x1080i) is what I like about HX5V over ZS7, yet ZS7 is priced $50 more.

I chose the Philips monitor - can't now recall the exact reasons, but I believe that it was due to slightly higher ratings and a little less cost. I'm happy with it. But, for my other office, I spent more and got an HP Envy 32 - slightly wider and the height is great.

I think the newer version is simply rectangular but much the same. This is not THAT noisy and very comfortable in large size. 25 vs 20 inches wide.

Its not the same. Its a 27 wall panel, they moved to the new 20 style so they say because its slightly more efficient, there are a lot of folds in this one. I like mine and don't worry about it but I can imagine that bigger panels that are flatter could be a little more efficient. They don't make this one anymore so anything you buy will be used or older stock, nothing wrong with it though.

The bigger is the better but even the small ones are great. It is the technology that makes the real most important difference between this and what you are upgrading from :)

These are huge and because of that doesn't fit on many people's desk. The desk they do fit on it dwarf in comparison to the other things they have. They are also speakers you'd never use with your laptop due to size. Due to all these preference and restrictions people pick the smaller ones. The 8's also have a little more bass.

Just read several pro reviewers, including Consumer Reports, say lower settings are often as nice as high resolution. Using high res. really does waste ink for not really superior appearance.

Thank you for your question, but the choice denpends on enviroment of hunting, if you hunt on a wide, clear and flat field like a plain, or argricultural fields, the 10x50 is slightly better, but in other enviroments, the 7x50 is the best choice, it brings brighter images than 10x50, this will help hunter find out the preys easily in the dust or dawn, it ussually gives wider field of view, that will help tracking the preys better, the manification is enough to use in most of hunting trip Best regard

Both are fine. As to which is"preferred" that's up to you. I like the 20mm personally.

80/20's will be bright, while the bronze will enhance the low end. That's my experience!

In my opinion the small is much easier to Cary and use. One of the biggest experts of Photoshop Mr Kelby of Kelby training also recommends and uses the same.

The 70" inch seems small in comparison to the 80". I've compared them side by side at best buy and there is definitely a huge difference. I say if you really want to go all out, get the 80"! The 70" inch is 2200.00 right now. The 80" is 4000.00. They are matching certain coupons from HH Gregg and the out the door price with tax will be 3500.00. Now that's a deal!
