I have a pair of Nikon 8x40 Action Extreme binoculars which I can't fault and am perfectly happy with.
Resolution and contrast is excellent and they are a good compromise on weight, bulk and performance.
There is new pair on US ebay buy it now at the moment which will get here for about $260 AU. The Australian price is much higher.
These binoculars are Porro prism type.
Roof prism type binoculars seem to be more popular these days mainly due to compactness but to get optical performance comparable to good porro binoculars the price has to be much higher.
