I' m interested in this as well. I have been using a little pair of 8x21 Bushnells that suck. The small objective lets in no light. I am looking at a pair of Nikon Monarch ATB 10x42' s that are really nice and in my price range. That would really make looking through the brush easier, especially early and late.

Cabelas Alaskan Guide 10 by 42, they are great glass, and let in a lot of light towards the end of the day, when it is hard to see!

Swarovski SLC 10x42. They are hard to beat for resolution and low light performance. I think I am getting some Pentax 9x32 mid-size for Christmas:) If going with a roof prism design, make sure you look at a pair with phase corrected optics to get a really sharp image. The quality of glass does make a big difference. When you go out west where optics are really used a lot, everyone I have ran across has been using swarovski or leica.

Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42...I think they are fantastic! Great low light binocs and very good resolution.

I' ve got several, but the ones I use the most are my Bushnell PowerView (or maybe it' s PowerFocus?) 12x50 I think. They' re pretty cheap, but they work nicely when they' re mounted on my tripod. Last year javelina hunting I picked up a bedded coyote at over a mile away.
