I'm not a fanatic. The Canon 8x25 IS (cheap) replaces an ancient
Nikon 7x35 on a unipod in the kitchen, looking permanently out on a
distant back fence bird feeder. I got tired of working around the
unipod. These I can just pick up off the shelf and hold steady enough.
However I expect battery replacement to be necessary at some rate.
