Everyone uses their binoculars differently. I use my big 12x50 Nikons for two things: scouting for turkeys long distance on right-of-ways and large fields, and beach viewing from our 6th floor condo. I've learned one thing: there no substitute for magnification.
My 8x30 Swarovski porros have served me well for 32 years, but on the actual hunt I want a smaller,lighter pair with plenty of magnification, so I've gone with the Minox 10x25. I can hold them steady enough, and I want to be able to pick out detail. Light gathering and big field of view, not important.
Gunut sent me a pm on a screaming good deal on these from Ebay.
