Digital camera reviews of Celestron Traveler 8-24X25 Compact Water Resistant Zoom Binoculars
Digital camera Review: As requested
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not field tested these binoculars yet, but have viewed the neighborhood and they appear adequate. I will certainly use them on my travels in Israel this Spring.Digital camera Review: Bought for donation for a law school auction.
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought these and mailed them to Boston Law School for an auction. We have no idea how good they are but the buyer told our friend they work very well.Digital camera Review: Bought this as a birthday present for our grandson, age 7
Summary: 5 Stars
Since we were giving the binocs to a 7r old, we liked the compact size and the water resistant and zoom features. Our grandson loved the present, especially the ability to zoom in on things. His Mom joked that he had black eyes from using the binocs so often!
PS... optics were good; item well priced.
Digital camera Review: Celestron Traveler 8-24X25 Compact Water Resistant Zoom
Summary: 2 Stars
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM CELESTRON.
I made a mistake thinking I got a deal, after getting problems adjusting the lens to compensate for my near sightedness, I had to spend the $$$ to buy a NIKON 8x WATERPROOF binoculars for my trip to Alaska. The Nikon did a MUCH better than job, furthermore the return policy with Celestron pretty much tells you what they think of their product, (WORTHLESS)
Any company willing to make you pay a high premium to return their defective product for service is telling you the REAL worth of the product you purchase. If you cannot buy a NIKON, get a VIVITAR.
My opinion, stick to binoculars with FIXED magnifications. 8x and a pair of 16x should be all the binoculars you will ever need.
Digital camera Review: Fantastic Binoculars at low power
Summary: 4 Stars
These binoculars are great, they look really good and are easy to grip and fairly compact.
These binoculars provide a crystal clear, surprisingly wide view (for a 25mm) at 8x. You can zoom in a little and still have a good view, but zooming too far (closer to 24x), the image gets very narrow and dim. At 24x on a partly cloudy day at noon I could barely see anything at 24x, possibly in very bright light it would be better. This seems to be the case with every zoom bionculars I've ever tried - which is why I went with Celestron, I figured if anyone can do it right they can.
I'd still have to give it 4 stars because at 8x the image is spectacular, but I do have to critisize Zoom in general in binoculars. If you want the option to zoom in you're probably better off carrying 2 separate pairs, one 8x and one 16x or so, and swapping them as neccessary.
