Field of view

The field of view is how much you can see at 1,000 yards through the binoculars. The higher the magnification can generally mean less field of view. The wide field of view is best for observing wildlife. For reference, 9 degrees is considered wide and the lower the number the smaller the field of view.

Brightness

Brightness is the amount of light your binoculars let in. 7mm is best for low light viewing. 3 – 5 mm is best for normal viewing.

Focus 

You can buy binoculars that offer a fixed focus lens. For many people this is very convenient but you are unable to change the focus if needed. For manual focus glasses you can use the center knob to focus both barrels at the same time. You can also change the diopter ring that is located near the front lens of the right eyepiece. This allows you to change the focus for each eye.

Now that you have some good information on binoculars you can narrow down your search on where to buy binoculars. By knowing what you want, you can search stores based on specialty or you may even choose to go to a general discount store if you are looking for a basic binocular.
