[QUOTE="antobag, post: 3531807, member: 141438"] Hi all, I've been looking at some budget compact binoculars for birdwatching and general walking. My main requirements are that they're compact and waterproof. I've done a fair amount of research and I've narrowed it down to the following three: [LIST] [*]Olympus 8x25 WP II - 15mm eye-relief; Fully multi-coated; 108m FOV [*]Nikon Sportstar EX 8x25 DCF - 10mm eye-relief; Multi-coated; 143m FOV [*]Steiner Safari UltraSharp 8x22 - 13mm eye-relief (?); Fully multi-coated; 125m FOV [/LIST] I can get any of these for around £75 to £80 ($93 to $99) and was just wondering if anyone has any advice on which one stands out - I can spend all day looking at specifications but it would be great to have some proper first-hand advice! Any help would be much appreciated. Antony [/QUOTE]
