Binos are just something I have to buy at a shop. I'm leery about buying that kind of stuff off of amazon or eBay.
8x42 will be better during low light imo..I love my 8x42 Crossfire IIsThat was the Vortex Crossfire 8x42's that I recently bought. I kinda fugged up, I thought it was the 10x42's I ordered. I'm happy with these just the same.
The first number is the power. I don't think I've ever seen 16x binos. If they are indeed 16x that is a VERY strong magnification. So much so that it'd be very difficult to hold them steady enough.I cant exactly remember right now but I think mine are 16x32. Are those a decent power?
