This is my first time to purchase a binocular. I can't afford those high end ones at $1,000 & up, but under $200 is ok.

I read through a few websites on how to choose a binocular for whale watching. It seems like 8 x 40 is ideal. On the Amazon.com, this Nikon binocular recieved all 5 stars and costs only around $120. Do you all agree?

I want to start to do whale watching (living by Pacific Coast) on land and maby on the boat in the future, but also plan to use my first binocular to do hiking, bird watching, black bear & grizzly bear watching as well. I know I sound a bit too greedy but I'm only a student... If this Nikon binocular would do a good job for whale watching mainly and other activities, I probably will go for it.

To muncie birder:

I read your answer to a question about binocular. You seem to be very knoweldgable about binoculars. Do you have any experience with the binocular for whale watching? What would you recomand?
