I know ergonomics and weight are very important. If I am going on an 8 mile hike through the woods I take my 8x32's. Heavy big binoculars are a burden when you are hiking a long ways with them around your neck, especially on a warm day. Give me the little 8x32's. For observing from a bench, an overlook or on a short hike I use the Canon's. Then in between the 8x42"s.
