I got my d500 there as the local camera store had a waiting list that
would take a good time to fill. Have checked some binoculars recommended by
others there and they also have suggestions of similar products.

Thanks, Joseph. I guess I had not considered buying from Amazon.

There are several web sites that rate binoculars in various price
ranges. You can take that to Amazon and there are good evaluations etc.

I'd appreciate your help in giving suggestions on where new birders
then toshop to get entry level binoculars - say in the $300 to $500 range.
My usual advice has been to point them to binocular reviews and
them out.Eagle Optics, or to visit a birding festival where they can try
longerOther suggestions have been Cabela's, REI or specialty bird productstores
but I never felt that those retailers' selections were comprehensive
enough. Now that Eagle Optics has changed directions and will no
beto have
in online retail, what to do? See their story here
https://www.eagleoptics.com/
Has anyone had experience with Optics4Birding?
http://www.optics4birding.com/
It looks like they have an excellent selection.
Thanks for your help.
