How to pick a good one
For general birdwatching, 8x42 is a dependable balance of brightness, field of view and manageable magnification. Look for waterproofing, comfortable eye relief and a smooth focus wheel. If possible, let the recipient try them: glasses, hand size and eye spacing are more personal than the specification sheet admits.
