If you mean the old model is more expensive, I believe 1.) it is harder to find for sale 2.) There are a lot of notes indicating the older model may have come from a time when the quality of the units were actually better. 3.) I am going to purchase an older model because I do not need high resolution, I want quality, and I am connecting to XP.

10XL last longer and prints more then 10B. That is why it is more expensive.

I checked my other mirror which is only 10x. It appears the customer may be correct about 5X magnification. When I compare the the two, my image in the Jerdon is smaller, but still large enough to do some very good tweezing. It could be that the smaller built-in mirror provides 10x magnification, I'm not sure. It's certainly enough for up close needs. Since it swivels, you can have the magnification at the top or the bottom for your own personal comfort. It is a good mirror & built well. I'm glad I purchased it. I tweeze every day & am a perfectionist about how I look. I can't go a single day without tweezing (unfortunately). I checked my other mirror which is only 10x.

Well the box states that one side is entirely a regular mirror and the opposite side has a 10x magnification with a small 15x magnification insert. I believe it's true.

The question is not exactly what you need. The field of view of the camera will be less than the field you would see with with a 10X eyepiece and the resolution will be worse than what you would see with an eyepiece. Worst of both worlds. And the enclosed software is horrible.

I purchased the 1.4X, after doing research on the results of both products. From what I read, the images stay "sharper" at the edges, with the 1.4x. I have used the 1.4X, and have been very pleased with the results. I do intend to purchase the 2x, understanding that the clarity may not be as good.

I am a professional wedding photographer but am a Nikon shooter. We have never had issues with 800X. Perhaps if you were shooting sports and needed quick bursts of shoots one after the other the faster card may make a difference.

As I understand the tradeoff, the 10x42 L model uses superior optical glass and because of this, images seen through it are virtually free of chromatic aberration ("purple fringing") and also devoid of ghost images when viewing bright objects at night such as the Moon and Jupiter. On the other hand the 15x50 model, whose optics are again of very high quality, but not quite as high as the 10x42L's, gives you a larger image size--each object is larger because magnification is 50 percent greater. This makes the choice difficult, even a toss-up. For a thoughtful comparison of the different Canon binoculars, go to www.garyseronik.com. Gary is an associate editor of Sky and Telescope magazine and he is an expert on binocular observing--has a book on the subject in fact.

Sheryl; The first number (7, 8, 10, etc.) is the power or magnification of the binocular which means a 10 brings the image 10 times closer than the naked eye sees. So the higher the number usually means a better binocular assuming the lenses are of high quality. But a higher magnification also requires a steadier hand. The second number describes the size of the front lens. A 25 will be larger and therefore bring in more light than a 21 and is usually a better unit. So most people would opt for the 10x25 over an 8x21.

The mirror was 10x magnification on the larger portion of the mirror and the 15x is in the smaller mirror portion.

Hi, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we only do our mirrors in 6000K; sorry about that. Have a great day. Regards, Howard - Lighted Image.

The magnification on this mini mirror is 10X; it's 5X on the larger mirror. I actually use both mirrors. I guess I'm blind as a bat!

8-base is more curved than 6-base, and it just depends on your frame choice. Talk to your optician. (Price difference due to availability.)

Hey Robert From image itself I don't see there is much difference... I guess 8x42 having only one type so you should be good to purchase the other one @180$. I got it in 150$ while massive discounts going on Amazon and even I got 50$ rebate coupon from Vanguard so it same in 100$ .I hope I answers your question

Yes. Using the 10x oculars, you get 10x or 30x using the 1x or 3x objectives; with the 20x oculars, you get 20x or 60x.

You may be better off with the 1000X. The read/write speeds and far better. From other responses I read, the 800X provided moderate rate of return or performance.
