My advice to birders is to buy the best binoculars you can afford, as early in your birding career as is possible. I'm blessed to be able to afford these, and OMG are they good.

Eh eh I know the image on those, and they truly are awesome. I opted for a Nikon Monarch 5, the quality/price relation for me is perfect (I'm one of those birders that started with really lousy binoculars :).
