Hayis Aid, post 1,
The answer to your question is: NO certainly not. In my opinion buying digital binoculars is a waste of money for different reasons.

Can you buy a good digital camera (without the binocular element) for AUS$40?
I don't think this is likely so add the cost of the binoculars in and it seems an impossible proposition.

If you would like advice from our community please tell us what you want to use your binos for and what your budget is.

I would suggest going to a local store that has binoculars and try out the options,
if none available order from a dealer with a good return policy
see which ones you like best, feels best when holding, gives the most pleasing views.
In general I would suggest an 8x42, or if too heavy 8x32.
Avoid the very cheap, and the very expensive, but get the best quality you can reasonably afford.
Almost all binocular are better than none but avoid the zooms, ruby coated, and very high magnification.

good luck with your choices and welcome to BF
