Can't go wrong with these bino's - Zeiss Victory 10x42 T* FL Binoculars

These binos will work for just about anything whether you are hunting, bird watching, or anything else. Great light transfer gives you the opportunity to use them when others fail. They are expensive, but they have a great warranty and should last many years.
Pros: very clear, easy to use, you get what you pay for
Cons: weight
