Raise binoculars to your eyes and you can see everything far away as if it was right in front of you. This article has been written to help you learn how to evaluate binoculars and then show you how to choose binoculars based on your budget and the purpose for which you plan to use them.
First, determine just how and under what circumstances you will be using your new binoculars. Each telescope has an objective lens, an eyepiece, and an exit pupil. If it just for the kids to play, then go with a less expensive model that they will not break easily.
A good rule of thumb is, unless you are a private investigator or international spy, avoid buying a pair of binoculars with a magnification/zoom greater then 10x's. Quality night binoculars have an infrared illuminator which increases the available infrared light. Field-of-view is determined by magnification and the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece lenses.
The more important consideration should be the field of view. It's really easier to choose when you know more about them.
