Thanks everyone for so much feedback on this. From your experiences & advice I've ruled out buying the 20x80s as my first binoculars.

I know I should really start with something like 10x50s, but I can't afford to buy 2 pairs of binoculars. I don't think I'll be able to buy a second pair for quite some time. I want something with reasonable magnification that is worth mounting on a tripod as I've already bought a Velbon CX-660 tripod & justified the expenditure to my wife. :-)

I'm now thinking that maybe I should get something inbetween 10x & 15x. What do you think of going for the AOE 12x60 binoculars instead of the 15x70s?
