5.0 out of 5 stars As good as much more expensive binoculars., August 29, 2010

I own a large number of SLR cameras and lenses, a $2,000 Takahashi telescope, full size Nikon Extreme EX binoculars etc. So I am reasonably familiar with good optical equipment. I also bought the 2 Pentax Papillio binoculars (returned one since it's overpriced for what you get, gave one as a present to my nephew). I decided to give a try this model, as cheap, throw in the backpack binoculars. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality, both optically and mechanically. Are they as good as the Nikon full size binoculars? No, of course, but they are reasonably close. I feel they equal the Pentax Papillio binoculars at 1/3 of the price.

Update 2/6/2011 My brother was so impressed with these binoculars he bought a pair himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent general-purpose binoculars for the price, January 21, 2011

This is a great set of general-purpose binoculars - great for people watching, bird watching in a park (probably not in the wild since the 7x zoom is powerful enough), even theater outings. The build is high quality and the binoculars feel really good in the hands. For the price charged here on Amazon.com, this is an excellent product at a great value.

Now, can you see the birds in my video clip? The distance is about 20-25 yards. (Shot through the left lens, with my Fuji camera lens set to wide-angle.) I also show you the multi-lingual instructions sheet, the case, the binoculars, the box, and the eyepiece caps. Not shown is the wrist strap.

The moment we receive this compact binocular, we use it immediately during our morning walk. It is light and very well built . I had a Nikon 7x21 and this Olympus is just as good but a whole lot cheaper ! Object is bright and the focus is fast and smooth . My 8 year old has no problem using it and he already asks me to get him his own pair for his bday.

I only wish that it does have another eyelet on the other side so one can string it evenly instead of let it hang lopside with its one eyelet design. The package also includes a handy pouch with a belt loop and velcro flap . We are very pkease with this purchase and would not hesitate to let my kids use it as it is very inexpensive to be replaced.
