Sportstar OK at 8x, really bad at 10x. Many others are worse. I found a Celestron 8x25 that was the worst of all. You really are not going to find anything super for 60-70 dollars. Pentax DCF 8x25 was pretty good, it runs over 100.
SoutFork liked the 8x28 Bushnells, about 100 bucks, and supposed to be phase coated.

Not the most compact, but they will fit in a pocket.
