Binoculars are good to make objects appear closer than they actually are. Night-vision devices are fascinating and marvelous. These amazing devices can be used while camping and with a good night-vision binoculars, you can see well in dark. Children will especially like the night vision capability of the binoculars and will have great fun using them. The image that is visible using the night vision devices is green because we are looking at the objects on a phosphorous screen and not directly.
With good binoculars you feel like you are looking with your own eyes only the view is closer, magnified and clear. How big do you want that image to be? Well, that will depend on many things. How heavy will the binoculars be with extra magnification? Can you hold the binoculars steady if they are magnified more than 10 times (10x)? I find it hard to hold 12x steady for any length of time without support. But I have small hands and that makes a difference too. Will the bird binoculars you choose work well with eyeglasses? Some are better than others for eye relief and eyeglasses.
Do you remember being told, Go outside and play when you were a kid? Did you ever wonder what to DO? Outside? Not me. Outside was home for me.
