I use Nikon Monarch (10x42) and am happy with them. Watch Gander, they go on sale once in a while. I picked mine up for about $175 a year ago. You can save $20 if you don't have to have the camo version. In my opinion, small items like bino's don't need camo, as they are just a small hunk of green or black that isn't going to show up against the camo of your jacket anyway.
