I got lucky. Years ago, my father-in-law got me a set of United 7x50 binocs. They are suprisingly good for a cheap unit. More than about 7x magnification makes a binoc hard to hand hold, and thus your view is fuzzy due to shaking. If you can get something with a stabilization unit, you could go for more magnification. But, the more magnification, the more difficult to pick up your target.
The larger number, ie 50 refers to the size of the objective lens. Higher the number, the greater the diameter of the objective lens. Larger lenses gather more light, something that is very important in low light situations, like dusk or dawn. However, the larger objective also becomes a problem of size and weight. Smaller objectives, 30mm to 40mm will get you along fine for most daylight situations.
Another important thing to look for is the coatings on the optics. These coatings will reduce internal light reflections, which makes the binocs much sharper, better viewing.
It"s always fun to buy goodies with other"s check books. Buy the best you can afford. Brand names usually are better, although good units sometimes show up in cheaper brands. You should try a number of binocs to see what you feel best for your use.
