 Very Good Binoculars August 4, 2008
Very good binoculars for the price. Wanted to use to bird watch in our back yard, and am very happy with them.
Good for concerts April 25, 2008
Bought to use at concerts because of their small size. I have used them twice so far with good results in low light conditions. Their size make them convienent to carry in your pocket. Good deal for the money. I have full sized binoculars I use for all other situations.
Terrific Binocular December 29, 2007
Used these at 2 concerts recently, very clear and user friendly. Would buy another pair and maybe will!
compared to roamer 8x21 roof prism binocs December 18, 2007

I read the reviews, and the consumer reports for the roof prisms, and because I was buying 2 pair for Chrismas, I got both the porro, and roof prism roamer 8x21.
I also compared them to my own Steiner Safari 8x22.
Really, very nice binocs. I could not tell a difference between the roof prism, and porro prism, if there was a slight edge, it would go to the porro prism.
I compared them in daylight, normal daytime house light and also in the basement in moderately low light. Both Olympus did better in light gathering in the lower light situations than the Steiner.
I looked at leaves, and license plates to compare close up and farther away.
They are plastic, and as such are light weight, but I am concerned that the sturdiness of the Olympus may not match that of the boys who are the recipients. Time will tell.
So, because the porro prisms are significantly cheaper, I would go with these.
 Not as pleased as other reviewers of this product October 4, 2007

I chose to buy these binoculars because of the great reviews here on Amazon. I am not nealry as pleased as the previous reviewers. The binoculars are pretty powerful, and you can see a far distance, but I dislike them for the following reasons: first, they have that whole "one lense goes gray" issue. I have to hold my mouth just right to get a clear view in both lenses. The eye adjustment is never quite right, and the most annoying thing is that both lense caps are too big for the lense and they fall off every time I take the binoculars out of the case. I would go with a different pair of binoculars if I could do it all over again. Even if I had to spend a little more money.
