Element's 5x30 prismatics are finally here and I have two scopes from the first production lot. I have spent enough time with these to offer some first impressions. These are some of most full featured prismatics on the market today with excellent image quality and side focus.

There are very few binoculars left with magnification of less than 8x.
6x30 or similar designs really have a lot to offer when you are looking for stability and ease of use in a compact package.
As a matter of personal preference, for general purpose use, I like binoculars with the exit pupil around 5mm and Kowa 6.5x32 is a grand example of why.
