Kaboku

Consider this....

The greater the magnification power the larger the objective lens needs to be to gather light in order to get a clear bright picture.  If you were to look thru a pair of 8 X 50 binos the view would be very bright and colorful vs. comparing a set fo 12 X 50 binos.  However, you might see more detail depending on how far away and how small the detail is simply because the magnification is so much greater.  Light gathering is  crucial is the dusk/dawn time periods.  All three binos would work great, but you get what you pay for in optics.  Choose the one that you are comfortable using and can afford.  I approached this choice like Big27, its a once in a lifetime purchase...make it a good one.
good luck with the search
