I would like to buy a set of binoculars, and don't have  much money at all, and I am wondering if cheap binoculars would be good enough for a first time user?  What is a lowest level of magnification that works?

Thank you!

If you type binoculars into the search bar above, there are already several threads on this topic, which might be of use. I only have a cheap set, and have not used them for birds, so can't offer much advice.

Thanks for that, of course you are right, there is also a lot of basic info on this very site!

Bushnell FOV 293FT are a very good budget binocular. Recently bought a pair, about $80.00 online.
