Its a hard one. I have an 8 year old as well, and if I spent $150 on each profession he wants to be when he grows up, I would be a very poor man!

My initial thought is that you don't want to spend too much, as it may be something that he uses for a couple of days, then ends up sitting in the bottom of a toy box. BUt at the same time, you don't want to get something too cheap that puts him off because he can't see anything through it.

However, binoculars are very useful things once you have a good pair. So it is probably best to get something fairly rugged that will stand up to the kids using them, but is also good enough for the adults to use when the need arises....

Hope that helps.

Adam
