I spent some time researching binoculars before buying them and I really like them. They are larger than pocket sized, about 7 x 7 inches, because I wanted the front lenses to be at least 50mm, which is exactly what these Sunagoras have. I read that large binoculars are brighter than small pocket binoculars so I bought these. Well I have to say binocular design has evolved because my old ones have been left behind. These old ones were 8x and they were fine, but with these I get 20x magnification without even zooming in, which is really nice and I can see all sorts of distant things in real detail, which I can with their old ones couldn't. If you then zoom in on these things, they zoom in up to a hundred times, which is so big it's hard to hold still, but the manual says to use a tripod that I could buy. I don't think you can compare them to a camera lens, because binoculars have to perform on a completely different level than a camera lens. I've seen Sunagore make an even stronger pair but they are bigger, heavier and more expensive so I bought them and am very happy with them.
