– strength (magnification power)
– size (objective lens diameter).

Which is better 10X50 binoculars vs 10X42 binoculars?
The 10X50 has bigger objective lenses, and does a little better for brightness and focus around the edges. The 10X42 may have better focus at the center, Advantage: 10X50 – albeit you’ll only see that advantage in low light conditions, like early morning or early evening.
