Binos
I have a pair of Nikon Monarch ATB's 8X42 in camo. I paid $200 for them used. I really love these binoculars. I'll admit I haven't really looked at many other brands but I am very satisfied with the Monarchs.
The above link has a great price for the Monarchs ($215), Cabelas wants over $300 for them.
This report helped me decide the Monarchs were for me:

They also got a good review on the Cabelas website.
I bought a Crooked Horn Harness for mine which makes carrying them much more comfortable. There are may other bino harnesses out there. Walmart has the Crooked Horns.
Keep us posted on your choice.
