Meade DCS 7x18 Folding Roof Prism Binoculars

Product Description:

Get a better view whether traveling through a wildlife preserve, watching your favorite baseball team, or just surveying the neighborhood with these compact Meade DCS binoculars. Boasting a power of 7x and an 18mm objective lens design, the lightweight binoculars (they weigh only 4.1 ounces) are terrific for daytime viewing, though the small lens diameter makes them somewhat less useful when the lighting is poor. The binoculars also feature fully coated single-layer optics for clear viewing and a comfortable 10.5 mm of eye relief. More importantly, the field of view stands at 488 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards, with a near focusing distance of 15 feet. As a result, all but the most distant objects look crisp and vivid.

The binoculars don't offer a single focus control, but instead sport an independent focus mechanism on each eyepiece, giving users more influence over the final image--an especially nice feature for folks with vision impairments. And to ensure that the binoculars hold up to heavy use, Meade coated the housing with durable black rubber. The DCS binoculars, which measure 3 by 1.5 by 2.5 inches (W x H x D), come with a soft nylon carrying case, neck strap, and lens cleaning cloth. They're also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Beware2006-02-13
Watch out! These are made in China and mine had an inherent defect. The barrels are so misaligned that the combined image is a double. This can't be easily fixed, and Meade charges $20 for warranty repairs. Very disappointing that Meade would sell such trash. As an astronomer I have spent $$$ on Meade scopes, but will give serious consideration to Celestron now.

Over priced clearance item! $79?! Not even worth $15!2006-02-08
I bought this one because it's light weight (4.1 oz.). I was looking for a small binoculars for my 4-year-old son. With the original price almost $80, "It must be good!" I thought! I paid $15 during Friday Sale. I thought I got bargain until I received it today with huge disappointment. It's hard to focus by adjust each eye, hard to see clear with tiny small lenses. I felt tense after using it for a while, don't even mention my young son will know how to use it! My daughter has a Canon 8x23A, which is in very good quality and easy for kids to use. After doing some search, I found Meade outlet is selling this Meade DCS 7x18 on eBay for $7.95 with free shipping due to this item is a closeout! This binoculars will be good for watching plays, shows, concert, whichever doesn't require focusing too often.

Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...

" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
