    I am thinking the new 32 mm alphas from Swarovski and Zeiss are the best birding binoculars you can buy right now.

    Essential tremor and IS binoculars

    Be aware that some Canons suffer from decomposing / sticky rubber armour after some years if buying secondhand. See here for an example.

    I am thinking the new 32 mm alphas from Swarovski and Zeiss are the best birding binoculars you can buy right now.

    Is the future of birding electric?

    Unlikely. Segways got banned from pavements for safety reasons. And it's not about Darwinianism - EVs at low speed are unbelievably quiet. In a car park, you could easily get hit by one as you don't realise they're anywhere near you. (But then plenty of ICE drivers are equally as oblivious on...
