I read somewhere when looking at optics you want to divide your aperture size by your magnification to get your field of view grade. When you have high magnification and a small aperture you will have a narrow field of view and quality of the image in regards to your eyesight. In my opinion these are too high powered for such a small aperture. I also tried the 12x25, 10x32, 16x32s and was dissatisfied with the field of view, light refraction/glare, fogging, and eye relief. At the 16x32 magnifications I was having difficulty focusing the binoculars at all different foregrounds. The fact of the matter is I'm using these for surveying land at work for prey wildlife and at home for self-defense. It's too hard to get an image into view and clear or at least quickly. For compact I would look at the 10x32 and sacrifice magnification. If you want higher power magnification while somewhat compact, look in the 12x42mm ballpark. for the price point of these binoculars you really cant complain. If you dont need them as an emergency or necessity i think they are a great value. they are nicely rugged and small enough to carry in your pocket all day.Light is not as bright I give a 3.5, clarity I give a 3. Price point is still good considering all things.
