Binoculars change so fast anymore it’s hard to keep up, especially the mid- low price range. And then again, everyone’s eyes are different and what they expect/are able to see in an image differs too.
I would just ask Doug at Cameraland.
If I were looking I’d also browse birdforum.net where you’ll find in depth evaluations of prob’ly every binoc on the market.
Optics4birding was a good reference site in years past but it looks like they ain’t updated since last year, ergo given the rapid change in the binoc market are out of date. From their website tho the compact 8x32 Optichron Traveller BGA which they recommend caught my eye, discounted to $329.
Compact Binos used to be horrible, but now are appearing in the necessary 4:1 objective lens to power ratio.
At this point, ifI was looking, I’d google on em at birdforums.net.
Very good point. A bird forum is where I found two of my binocular sets. Pentax 8x42 DCF HR II and Swift 8x42 "Ultra Lite". Both excellent glass. This was a few years back, sooo, things do change.
