For birding, that moment is highly due to identifying the bird. A thing that is more easy to do with better binoculars. Seeing a bird is one thing, seeing it well is another.Don't make me wrong. It's just a question of frequency. That means yes, you will have a lot of fun birding with cheap binoculars. It's just better with better binoculars. How much better? Hard to say. Worth it? That is up to individual to decide.Honestly, I'm not trying to push peoples to buy good binoculars. Neither I'm suggesting that cheap binoculars are worth garbage and you cannot do anything with them. Hell, the Legend I got cost barely more than 100$. It's more that, because there is some very cheap binoculars, peoples seems to think it's dumb to "waste" that money into something that is five-ten times that amount of money. Personnally, I think that passed mid-priced binoculars, it's a question of budget and interest. But when you look into a cheap binoculars and a decent one (lets say a good low-price), pretty much everybody see a high difference. When peoples come to the store and ask me what the 15$ 8x21 are worth, I let them compare with 8x25 H2O, Nikon sportstar or travelite and let them judge by themselves.</blockquote>
