There are a lot of issues when it comes to choosing binoculars for bird watching. As it is with binoculars, so it is with scopes.
Magnification specifications of 8x42 or 10x42 are perfect for a variety of outdoor optics requirements. Kids use binoculars as toys and as learning devices. More than a few people have been surprised to learn that binoculars go out of whack when bashed.
A 7 x 50 binocular shows a view magnified 7 times and it has objective lenses 50 mm wide. Any higher than about 10 times magnification and you will need to mount them on a tripod as the hand shake effect makes it difficult to get a sharp image. You can find binoculars in prices ranging from ten dollars to one thousand dollars.
Do keep in mind that a larger objective diameter will generally increase the size and weight of the binoculars. You don't have to worry about wearing any gloves, which sometimes hampers the focus usage. Magnification is not the best way of choosing a telescope, as a clear image is more important then simply magnification.
So, get out there. Get Outdoors!
