My 2nd pair of binos is a Bushnell 10X50 that I picked up at Target for about $30.
You can go to [Registered users can see links. ], though, and get some great binos for about $100.
I've also read that Garrett (sp) makes some great products.
If you're going to hand hold them, though, don't go over the 10X50; 7X50 might be better. Higher power means more noticeable shaking of the image, and larger aperture means you need arms like a gorilla to hold them.
