I also recently purchased 15x70 binos from AOE and Im very happy with them.
These need to be tripod mounted as 15x is a bit high for hand holding for very long.

How much are you willing to spend ?

At the low price end , AOE sells some good value binos with multicoated optics and little internal reflections. At this price level rubbish binos (Tasco)are all too easy to find. Take a look at my recent mini review of my 15x70's here http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ead.php?t=3710

If the same standards are applied to the rest of the range, the 11x56's might be a good choice in handheld binos for you

One more thing, stay away from ebay !
I got stung once with the absolutely worst binos I have ever seen. Luckily I was able to send them back and get a refund after threatening to blow the whistle on them for false advertising re bak4 prisms.
