I can't seem to find any clear comparisons on the optical (within 30 feet), optical (>30 feet), optical (hight contrast), low light, IS and battery performance of these.
Has anyone compared them side by side? The brochure shows the 8x25 with a higher "Relative Brightness" than the other two. I'm not sure what "Relative Brightness" means since I would expect the gathering capability of a larger objective to be greater than that of a smaller objective. So for the 8x25 to have a rating of 9.6 vs 9.0 for the other two was a bit of a surprise.
One person commented that the 8x25 IS implementation was quite excellent, especially given the low magnification.
Any help would be appreciated.
