Zoom binoculars may never be the equal of fine fixed magnification models, but as far as compacts go the Nikon Eagleview models are amongst the truly best of the bunch. They're available in either black or silver, have carbon fiber in the grip for durability, and are actually pretty stable in the hand thanks to their shape and the design of their zoom lever.

All of Nikon's binocular line is backed up by the "No-Fault" lifetime warranty. Regardless of what happens to your binoculars, even of your own negligence, Nikon will repair or replace (at their option) your binocular for just $10 plus the return shipping costs.
