Solidly built and capture light and resolve images well - Bushnell Binocular Trophy XLT 12x50mm

I have a pair of Nikon Action 16x50s which I really like, as does my wife, but we were looking to get something a bit better. At 12x, these are easier to hold steady - 16x is nice, but unless you lean against something, it can be hard to hold still. It is great for scanning (a hill for wolves, grizzlies, etc.). These are more compact - a fraction lighter and yet capture the light well and resolve the detail well. I would definitely recommend them.
Pros: Slightly compact, capture light well - good detail
Cons: Neck strap a bit flimsy, but comfortable
