Top of the line will be slightly over $1000, but excellent binoculars can be found for 1/3 to 1/2 that price. Determine how much you are willing to spend and then go to a sporting goods store and compare the brands in that price range. 8 power are easier to hold steady, but 10 power can be held steady if properly held. Many stores will let you take them outside to compare which is much better than trying to compare them inside the store. In binoculars, quality is highly correlated with the price.
