In my opinion there is no store in Canberra with a good range of
high quality binoculars in stock. If you want to compare models before purchase
then stores in Sydney or Melbourne offer much better choice. I bought my
present pair from Michaels in Melbourne who had an excellent range from which
to choose.
It’s also worthwhile finding something out first about the
various factors you need to consider when purchasing. There are quite a few useful
websites – eg http://www.birds.cornell.edu/Publications/LivingBird/Winter2005/Age_Binos.html.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Are there any stores in Canberra with a good
array of binoculars and spotting scopes?
Being
relatively new to Canberra, birding and to this list, I was wondering if anyone
could tell me if there are any good stores in Canberra that have a good array
of binoculars and spotting scopes?
Any
assistance would be appreciated.
