I thought they had nice optics, great eye relief, and were very lightweight. But their size wasn't much less than an 8x32. And their field of view was a little restricted (which is usually a trade off for a compact with lots of eye relief).They seem ideal to me as a very lightweight but effective back-up bino for a trip where you want something decent if your primary bino bites the dust. Or they would be good as a carry-anywhere or glove box bino.I have a small quibble with one thing you said. You said that the Fury had less resolution because of the small objectives. I used to own a Nikon LXL 8x22 and I can tell you that the images were as sharp as any larger bino. They just weren't as bright.I've noticed that resolution seems to suffer in low light conditions. But I think that is the fault of the human eye rather than the bino.</blockquote>
