Pros: Very good optical quality with sharp images over at least 80-90% of the field. Unless you are able to hold standard binoculars very steady then the image stabilising is an amazing advance. Like having a tripod but without having to carry round / set up any extra kit.

Whenever you use a pair of hand held binoculars to examine detail some distance away the "micro-movements" of your hands make it frustratingly difficult. Press the IS button and see the difference. Although a little expensive if you want the extra "clarity" then it's definitely worth it.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Good quality optics and quite effective IS. Bright and clear in most situations. Be aware though that these binoculars suffer from pronounced chromatic aberration (fringes of colour around the object in focus) in high contrast situations.

i have owned this model for over ten years with no problems up until recently the rubber casing has become sticky and appears to be disintegrating for no apparent reason. they still work well though. I will buy another pair eventually and hope that Canon fixes the problem with the rubberized casing.

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.
