If you are buying your first pair of binoculars, not wanting to spend too much but would like to get a decent one for general use, the Olympus Tracker 8×25 is what I put on top of my recommendations list.
Olympus Tracker 8×25 Porro Prism Compact and Lightweight Binoculars

Great features of the Olympus Tracker 8×25:
1) Bak4 high quality optical glass prisms fully multi-coated for best clarity. Porro prisms offer better quality for the price yet combined with stylish smooth-edged design.
2) Being compact and lightweight, it gives you no problem for bringing it everywhere.
3) A wide 315-feet field of view at 1000 yards and 8x magnification – excellent for concerts and sporting events.
4) Comes with built-in photochromatic anti-glare lenses that protect you from sun rays.
5) Center focus for quick focus adjusting and diopter correction for individual eyesight.
Although the Olympus Tracker 8×25 is not waterproof, nor is it first-class binoculars in dim light conditions given its 25mm objective lens, it is delightful enough and reasonably priced for first timers. Click here to see the full review of Oylmpus Tracker 8 x 25.
