    Can't decide!

    Hi everyone, I'd like to do some photos of birds for ID reasons but I'm not sure the best way to go. I've got a Celestron 65ED and some various binoculars.

    Hello everyone, new here and looking for a pair of 10x binoculars. These 2 seem within my price range at the moment but not sure which one will be best? Both seem very similar to me. Has anyone done this comparison? Cheers :)!
