It’s happened to all of us at some point while using binoculars. Namely wishing we had a bit more power at our disposal and were able to zoom in just that little bit further to check a particular detail. Nikon thinks it has solved this frustration with its Sportstar Zoom. The zoom binocular places a menu of magnification settings literally at our fingertips, so we can start out wide and then zoom in closer.
The only downside to having this flexibility of view at our disposal is that we’ll pay a premium for the privilege, compared with what a basic 8x25 binocular from this brand or competitor would normally cost us.
