    OMG ... i just buyed a Regal 100 F ED!

    I have it and it's great if you want the brightest image in low light for the money . It uses standard 1.25" eyepieces so if you have many of them that is a huge bonus. https://vimeo.com/38310601

    Celestron Regal M2 ED Series - 2013

    I have the 100mm Celestron F-ED and I like using my Pentax 20mm Pentax XW eyepieces in both. I like the view a little better in the in the Pentax with higher contrast but I also like the angled Celestron . Here is a photo of them side by side with 20mm Pentax XWs in each and a video of the...

    GH4 and other mirrorless vs Nikon D4s

    In 4K UHD (3840x2160) it's 8.3mp @ 30fps or cinema 4K (4196x2160) 8.8mp @24 fps. Here is a photo my GH4 with 75mm F1.8 Olympus lens next to my 36mp full frame Sony A7r with 55mm F1.8 FE Zeiss lens and full frame Sony VG900 camcorder with 28-70mm FE OSS lens.

    Panasonic GH4 with 4096x2160 4K video !

    The new GH4 shoots the same 4096x2160 4K video as the $12,000 Canon EOS-1D C DSLR at a rumored price below $2,000. It has a 2.3x crop in 4K mode so a 100mm lens will work like a 230mm lens. It also shoots 96fps slow motion in full 1080p HD at up to 200Mb/s...

    Canon 100x Superzoom Camera ?

    The Sony RX10 has a much larger 1" sensor and a fast 24-200mm eqiv constant F2.8 lens . The new Samsung NX30 APS-C size sensor camera could be purchased with the new fast Samsung 16-50mm F2-F2.8 lens . http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/sony_rx_10_review.shtml...

    Canon 100x Superzoom Camera ?

    http://www.popphoto.com/news/2013/12/canon-files-patent-application-almost-100x-superzoom-camera Since the Panasonic FZ70 has a 60x 20-1200mm eqiv optical zoom lens I guess it's possible.

    Panny FZ70 - 60x compact!

    I see B&H and Amazon have it for $249. I have the Canon SX30 IS and Nikon P500 superzooms and will wait until 2015 when they put 4K video in the superzoom cameras.

    7x binocular expectations.

    The 7x42 Zeiss FLs are lighter with a wider FOV and closer near focus.

    Astro-Tech AF70 1.25/2" Eyepieces

    How could a 17mm eyepiece with 70° AFOV have a wider FOV than the Pentax 20mm XW with 70° AFOV ?

    Astro-Tech AF70 1.25/2" Eyepieces

    I don't have that one but I do use the 15mm Celestron Luminos UWA with 82° AFOV and 17mm eye relief that is on sale for $79.95. http://www.optcorp.com/celestron-15mm-luminos-eyepiece.html

    Pentax PF-100ED General EP Viewing

    I also like the 20mm XW in my spotting scopes and the widest FOV I get is with my 20mm Widescan III 1.25" eyepiece with 84 deg AFOV but it does not reach infinity focus.
