The higher the magnification is then the more the object will 'wobble' when you are hand holding them. The larger the objective lens (the end you don't look through) is, the more light they will let in so the brighter the object will be.
Spotting scopes are usually used in a fixed position on a tripod for 'prolonged' viewing of an object. Also, the higher the magnification is, the narrower the field of vision is.
Zoom binoculars will never give an image that can match the quality of a fixed lens. (The same goes for camera lenses.)
As far as glasses go, it is a pain. Most modern binoculars have fold down eye cups designed to make thing easier for eyeglass wearers.
Astronomically speaking, the late Patrick Moore recommended a good pair of binoculars for viewing through as opposed to a small scope. (For the armatures among us anyway!)
Over the years I have found that the best all round binoculars are a pair of 10 X 42's.
Hope this helps?
