Please do yourself a huge favor and don't go with compacts. The idea of less weight and size sounds great,and even looks great inside the store or in good light. I bought compacts and quickly realized my mistake in the woods in low light. The exit pupil was too small so they was about useless during LOW light times of day when game moves most. About 4-5mm exit pupil is minimum for most legal lighting conditions. I go for a happy medium. Not compact or full size. My own binos are 10x-42mm. To get exit pupil size you divide power into objective lens size-10x into 42mm=4.2 exit pupil.
