Nice for the money but they are no better than my LX's in terms of field of view and apparent view is worse. Plus there really only a tiny bit smaller than the M7's.. and there is a HUGE difference in viewing pleasure with the M7's and i suspect Mojaves as well.  These 'new' compact binos are really a boon to travelers. There nearly the size of true compacts but with the view of full sized binos.  There is really not that much difference in weight (LX's are 10.5oz) and size between my LX 10x25's and the M7's (M7's only 4mm taller)  for me to use the LX's traveling any more. The M7's are only a little heaver, a little bigger and a LOT nicer to use and look threw. BUT!.... who will be using them on our trip?.. my Girlfriend. She can't use the LX's hardly at all. Too fiddly, cant find the target with the narrow FOV and 10X, the double hinges and tiny exit pupil mess her up as well. :C Bill</blockquote>
