Review on πŸ”­ VANGUARD Endeavor ED 10x42 Binoculars, Enhanced with ED Glass, Waterproof/Fogproof, in Black (Model ENDEAVOR ED 1042) by Sheppard Priest

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nikon's image quality is significantly better.

Last year I picked up a pair of these and 8x40 Nikon Monarch 7s. now it's my car binoculars, and if we're both looking, my partner's binoculars. She prefers them to Nikon binoculars because of their slightly higher magnification; I prefer the Nikon feel in hand, the extremely wide field and great depth of field. For me, the Nikon's image quality is noticeably better. For them, the ability to make field markings more visible is better than the overall "beautiful" picture factor. I think she also has sturdier hands than me - 10 times more shaky in my hands and I guess she doesn't care that much. A few months ago, a colleague and I observed a rather unusual event. be a satellite that loses its orbit. since the comet was visible at night at about the same time, I told him about trying to see the comet at night, and the next day the Nikons were with me. that the monarchs also represented a remarkable advance qualitatively. On sale, however, Avant Garde binoculars are about half the price of Nikons, and they're pretty good. In the end, each of us had a good pair of binoculars that we prefer.
