I've got a pair of Bushnell 8x20s that I think I paid ~$100 for 20 years ago. They slip into a pocket nicely, and are still going strong. The 11x80 Celestrons are great, but hardly pocketable -- I can't use them without a tripod. My dad had some Leitz/Leica 8x40s that were probably the best in-between sized binocs. Very nice, but VERY expensive.
