Telescope deals
Dwarflab Dwarf 3 smart telescope review. Compact and portable, it's good for celestrial and terrestrial imaging, though image capturing can be time consuming.
Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ telescope review. High magnification for moon and planets and affordable for budget-conscious. But it lacks precision and has chromatic aberration on bright objects.
Celestron Inspire 100AZ full review. This telescope provides sharp views of planets and the moon and has a handy smartphone adaptor but be warned its bearings lack precision and there is some chromatic aberration. Features in our best beginner telescopes guide.
Celestron Astro Fi 102 full review. It has a very portable design and doesn't need any prior telescope experience but the optics and tripod could be better quality. Features in our best telescopes guide as the best scope for portability.
Binocular deals
Canon 12x36 IS III full review. Steady image stabilized views that are kept sharp with a field flattener but there are only two options for eye relief.
Canon 10x42 L IS WP full review. Excellent image stabilization and excellent quality optics but it is heavy and requires lots of AAA batteries. Featured in our best binoculars guide as the best overall.
Nikon Monarch HG 10x42 full review. Chromatic aberration pretty much non-existent and razor sharp views but could be improved with image stabilization. Featured in our best binoculars guide as best for optical performance.
Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 full review. They have excellent optics and an easy-to-transport roof prism design but the neckstrap and lens caps could be better. Featured in our best binoculars guide as the best for beginners.
Celestron UpClose G2 10x50 full review. They are ideally sized for astronomy and easy to adjust but be aware of the narrow eyecups and minor image distortion. Featured in our best binoculars guide as the best budget binos.
Celestron Cometron 7x50 full review. They have good optics for a great price and a wide field of view but they are not drop or water proof. We feature them in our best binoculars guide as the best for families.
Celestron Skymaster 25x100 full review. These binoculars have high magnification and come with a tripod adapter for stable view but they are very heavy and require their own tripod. They feature in our best long-distance binoculars guide as the best for magnification.
Celestron Trailseeker 8x42 full review. They have great quality optics and a useful harness strap but observations have a hint of color fringing and lack magnification for deep sky. Featured in our best binoculars guide as the best under $300.
Celestron Skymaster Pro 15x70 full review. These are excellent for viewing larger deep-sky objects and they are nitrogen-filled to prevent internal misting but they are difficult to hold steady and the rubber eyecaps can come loose. They feature in our best binoculars guide as the best for moon views.
Camera deals
Nikon Z8 full review. This professional camera has excellent noise handling and high burst speed but it has a big price tag and there is a noticeable size increase from the Z7 II.
Canon EOS R5 II full review. This camera has solid all-round performance and great build quality but it is very expensive and may have too much video functionality for a stills photographer.
Sony Alpha 7R V full review. AI-powered autofocus and a versatile LCD screen but produces noise on high ISO images and burst speed is capped at 10FPS.
Sony Alpha 7 III full review. Brilliant autofocus and weather sealing for tough conditions but can feel unbalanced with heavy lenses and has a complicated menu system.
Sony Alpha 7C II full review. This camera produces impressive images for the spec and price and has accurate autofocus but it only has a single card slot and dedicated astro shooters might find there is too much noise. Featured in our guide to the best Sony cameras.
OM System E-M10 Mark IV full review. It's incredibly lightweight with fast autofocus but it lacks a mic port and has a plastic feel to it. Features in our guide to the best cameras.
