Bird watching binoculars are one of the critical pieces of equipment bird watchers carry. Before you decide how to choose binoculars you need to consider the solutions for differing environments.
Some are better optically while others excel in cost. First, determine just how and under what circumstances you will be using your new binoculars. Compact binoculars are generally guarded with rubber padding, and they come with a case and hanging strip.
I've used them for about three weeks now and have been blown away with the quality of the optics. So if you have a pair of binoculars with 8x magnification, they should have an objective diameter of 40. If you plan on using your binoculars in low light conditions, you may want get an even higher objective diameter, such as 8x50.
Most compact binoculars provide a wide field view and bright images. If your application is bird watching, theater or sporting events, a low powered binocular will suffice in most cases. Some of the binoculars have a greater close up focus capability.
Keeping your binoculars from breaking is the best strategy to long and satisfying use of your binoculars. And don't forget about small children and their fascination with dropping electronic equipment in toilets.
