Lots of people think to see better, you need more magnification. Not true often enough. A heavier binocular makes a big difference, even with 8X stuff. A tripod, is, of course the ultimate in that area.
Often, an 8X is a hair sharper than a 10x of the same size.
As the magnification increases, it will often increase the imperfections of the image as well. Particularly in the small binoculars. E
Very true and that has been my experience as well.
