Expect to spend at least $200 for porro prism binos, or $300 for roof
prism. With binos, you get what you pay for with the top tier
dominated by Leica, Swarovski, Nikon, Zeiss, etc. Baush & Lomb's best
are generally good value too. Don't exceed 10x magnification because
they become too unsteady to hand-hold well.

Are image-stabilised binoculars worthwhile? They have always appealed to
me, but they are very expensive and, of course, no local shop stocks them!

Cheers,

Yes, Canon's are very good. Very good optics matched to I.S. and it
works! Resolution climbs by around 100% because small details aren't
blurred by body motion.
