I haven't tried them myself. Most people say no. But they used to say that about zoom eyepieces - now they are quite an acceptable item, several of which are made by very reputable quality companies. I expect that a pair of zoom binoculars made by one of the better companies (if such binoculars exist) would probably be worth a look.

The other area of interest is image-stabilised binoculars. Some think these are superb items. I worry about weight and battery consumption - and they cost a lot more.
