I've been using my Nikon Monarch Binoculars for a few years now, and I am extremely happy with them. Before you decide how to choose binoculars you need to consider the solutions for differing environments.
Compact binoculars are mostly used by travelers, sportsmen, hunters, bird watchers, and nature lovers. Even though they are pre-moistened, they do not leave any trace of residue-causing streaks on the expensive lenses. Be sure a neck strap can easily be attached to help with fatigue.
If your binoculars are going to be used during low light like hunting and astronomy, you had better have large objective lenses. The Leupold 10x50mm tactical binoculars also comes with a Mil-Dot or Leupold TMR, Tactical Milling Reticle, which you can rotate.
Many binoculars have an option for attached lens covers that open and close as you make your observations. While compact binoculars weigh as little as a pound, by using them you will undoubtedly sacrifice performance. Galactic clouds and star clusters look dim when viewed by the naked eye, but with binoculars they are much clearer.
Sometimes you can buy a great pair of binoculars on the Internet cheaper than in the stores. Get a good pair and enjoy!
