RE: Binoculars

Part of choosing binoculars is what you want to do with them. Think of them as a telescope for two eyes. You have magnification, and you have light-gathering ability. If you're looking at fairly large (not tiny) objects, like birds or nearly naked women, in relative daylight, 45mm is probably overkill and unnecessarily heavy. If you're looking at the planet Jupiter and its moons, which are tiny and dim, you'll probably want a mount to hold bino's steady so the objects aren't dancing around - handheld is a pain in the butt, even at the 7x magnification of my binos.
