I received the Vortex Vanquish 8X26 a few days ago, and am pleased with it. It will fit in a large shirt/fatigue pocket, and is a fitting replacement for my Bushnell 7X26 that I broke.

I almost got the binocular fever reading about the various one on the birds forum, http://www.birdforum.net/index.php, but so far have not fallen so far that I want an expensive pair.
I notice that the Vortex Viper bins have a good reputation if one goes to a med price. There is nothing that can be done to a bin to make it worth over $1,000 to me. Here is a good site that ranks and tests bins.

Thanks to all who made suggestions.
