What binoculars?

Anyone know anything about binoculars?

I have found these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Olympus-10...25.m3641.l6368

They are the right price, right design and good reviews on other sites on the web.

Are there better ones out there for the same money?

They will be used for watching birds of prey and not really anything else.

Olympus binos are brilliant; I have those (or very similar) and the quality is superb. Even bino geeks rate them.

Bought mine from Amazon.

Whatever you do, just remember to take the lens caps off.

I have a pair of celestrons (mainly for skywatching) really good binoculars. I've seen the moons of Jupiter and craters on the moon. Not sure if they'd be any good for bird watching but I can't see why not.
