I read this statement where the author is reviewing Celestron 25X70 binoculars in relation to terrestial viewing.
"
I have read many articles and pieces of advice on forums written by so called experts claiming that you cannot get a stable view from any binocular with a magnifications of around 15x and above. This is simply not true, the relatively low weight and good balance of these (once you hold them right) means that I was easily able to look through them over fairly long periods using nothing more than my hands during the day."

I must admit that I had never really thought about this before, though my wife and I both use a pair of 16X60 Pentax binoculars for bird watching without any great difficulty. However, I had just assumed that 20X might be a tad much, and 25X way too much.
What power high-powered binoculars have you comfortably hand held for terrestial viewing?
