Expect to spend at least $200 for porro prism binos, or $300 for roof
prism. With binos, you get what you pay for with the top tier
dominated by Leica, Swarovski, Nikon, Zeiss, etc. Baush & Lomb's best
are generally good value too. Don't exceed 10x magnification because
they become too unsteady to hand-hold well.

Are image-stabilised binoculars worthwhile? They have always appealed to
me, but they are very expensive and, of course, no local shop stocks them!

Cheers,
