Last November I bought some Bushnell Powerview 8x42s from Camerahouse:
http://www.camerahouse.com.au/products/ProductPreview.aspx?productID=1208&productName=Powerview%208%20x%2042%20Compact%20Binocular
These were $179 with a free pair of Bolle sunglasses! I was a bit sceptical
when I tried them, however I found that they are light, clear and nice to
hold. They served me in great stead on my recent NZ trip on both land and
water.
I can tell that they are nowhere near the quality of your $700+ bins... but
for the price I find them damn good! Definitely a great step up from my
chunky 10x50 bushmasters :)
Cheers,
Damien
