I'd recommend this pair of Celestron 20X80s for $99.

Attach them on a tripod, then lift and hold the tripod, which reduces the shake.
But for simple hand holding, 10X50s are indeed good all rounders (I have three pairs) and must-haves when initially getting in the hobby, but later on I preferred 15X70s which I found easy enough to hand hold.
The other really cheap option is checking cheap 20X80 Chinese binoculars on Ebay. I have one pair (Sakura) which I paid $54 for, and I reckon they behave like 16X75s. Not great at the edge of the field, not a wide field, but good views of DSOs in the middle. Similarly, earlier this year, I paid $49 for a 20X80 pair of binoculars, and got another one free, with free postage for both. Again, it was really a 16X pair which I found hand holdable and gave good views of DSOs (but had no way of attaching them to a tripod).
