I just read an article by Jessica Vaughan in the November/December BWD magazine called Gear Guide. She has recommended several midrange priced binoculars. They are: Hawke Frontier ED x 8x42 binoculars, Zeiss SFL 12x50 binoculars and Celestron Nature DX ED 8x42 binoculars. Maybe one of these would work for you.
