Most companies which sell cameras are also involved in the business of selling Binoculars. The best of them are Bushnell, Nikon, Steiner and Olympus. There are two types of Binoculars. The one that were used in the 17th century was the Galilean Binocular. The principle regarding the Galilean Binocular is that a convex objective and a concave eyepiece lens are used. This design generally presents an erect image. But, the disadvantage of a Galilean Binocular is that of a narrow field of view and it is not capable of very high magnification. The other Binocular which is popular nowadays is the Prism Binocular. Such binoculars have a Porro Prism which is configured in a double prism Z-shape so the image can be erected. This Binocular gives results which are better than the Galilean one. Hence the images are wide and a great deal of magnification is possible.
