My 2 cents worth:
Enjoy the binoculars that you have. They sound great. Enough said.
p.s.
I dont have a steady hand. So about a year ago I bought a pair of Canon 10 x 30 image stabilised binoculars.
I love them!
In fact I used them on the weekend for bird watching in Brisbane Water NP.
Can see moons of jupiter.
Under $500 on ebay shipped from Hong Kong.
They are better than the Canon 8x25 IS that I compared.
Have replaced the battery once, no problem. User replaceable. And they still work with a flat battery, just not stabilised.
Another important point is that they have stayed in collimation. I was sick of cheap binoculars that end up (or start out) looking at slightly different things through each eye.
p.p.s. sorry for being a smarty pants. Do you have a bird book or app to help in identification? There are some really great references available.
