How strong is "strong"? - Nikon Action Extreme 16x50mm Waterproof Porro Prism Binocular

Here, the word "strong" connotes either both or 1 of 2 attributes. Magnification, which at 16-power is practically the max for 50mm objectives; and build, which if you choose to believe me, is both rugged and astoundingly buff, to put it into manly terms. For hunting, tripod-mounted (rain or shine), the user can get up very close to the target; astronomically, they actually rival the "big boys" of the 15-16-power, 70mm category. I understand if that's hard to believe, but check them out (as I have) side-by-side, and you'd wonder why shelving out an additional $500 or whatever was really worth it...
