Default Any Binocular Reviews?

I'm looking at buying a pair of binoculars for astronomy (probably 7x50 or
8x56) and I was wondering if anybody knew of any websites with reviews of
bins on them. Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance

Cloudy Nights has reviews of binoculars, however the reviews often seem rather subjective.

For a beginner's binocular, 10x50 with a wide field of view is a good choice. Very small binos don't gather enough light, although even 7x35 (again, with a wide field of view) aren't too bad. Larger binos tend to require a tripod and you might find a small low mag telescope to be a better value.
