I have been selling a lot of compact binoculars lately, especially the reverse prro prism types. This design is not as compact as a roof prism, but when we're talking about $120 or less, the reverse porro is a much better choice optically. Best sellers here have been the waterproof versions such as the Nikon Prostaff 8x25, the Pentax 8x25 UCF WP, and the Bushnell 8x26 Legend. For those not needing something waterpoof, the best sellers have been the Pentax UCF X II 8x25, the Nikon 8x25 Travelite and the Bushnell 8x24 Legacy. In my opinion, any of these will qualify as a best buy for the dollar in a compact binocular.
