I bought a pair of Nikon Travelites from www.warehouseexpress.com last year.  should have been £200 got then for £80.  The service was good and delivery very quick.  Just look at special offers. ie. end of lines due to newer models coming out, these tend to be heavily discounted.

Suns is right that it's good to try before you buy.  Something about angles of visibility, but different binoculars definitely suit different people.

Have a look in Argos, because if you get something there that doesn't suit, you can exchange or get a refund

I wasted quite a bit buying binoculars without trying them..took me ages to learn!!

You could always go to your nearest Jessops or similar,, try some, find the best ones for you and then see if you can find them cheaper on the internet

I would also add try them first. My Oh and I have binoculars made by the same company and almost the same model, I love mine but cannot use his. I think the field of view is wider on mine and that plus folding eye caps are essential if like me you wear glasses.  If you are going to use them a bit it is worth investing in the best ones you can afford, they will last a life time.
