5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for just about anything that you can lay your eyes thats needs magnification
Had the chance to own this pair of binoculars and I tell you the optics from Olympus is just plain amazing. It is light weight and compact perfect for those needs or trips that you don't need to lug extra weight around. The optics are awesome. Great for bird-watching or walks in the forest. They are clear both in daylight and low-light. At the lowest magnification (8x),...

Could have been better.
The optics on these binoculars seem to work fine but they lose 1 star each for the cheap zoom dial and the twist up/down eyecups. The plastic ring that operates the zoom feels cheap and fragile. The eyecups are a good idea that was executed poorly. Instead of being soft rubber eye cups that you can put up to your face they are made like plastic lens caps that have a...

This review is from: Olympus Tracker 8-16x25 Zoom Porro Prism Compact & Lightweight Binocular (Electronics)
Had the chance to own this pair of binoculars and I tell you the optics from Olympus is just plain amazing. It is light weight and compact perfect for those needs or trips that you don't need to lug extra weight around. The optics are awesome. Great for bird-watching or walks in the forest. They are clear both in daylight and low-light. At the lowest magnification (8x), the images are sharp and crisp. At the highest (16x), the images degrade a little bit because of shakiness which is expected once magnification is extended to its maximum. The weight is just right for handling a binocular of this size and compensating image shake. I own another comparable-sized binoculars which is a Barska Gladiator 9-27x25 and the Olympus Tracker just beats the Barska in clarity (although I also gave the Barska a 5-star due to its rubberized body and overall quality make). Olympus is a quality maker of everything related to optics and you will not be disappointed with this Binocular. Great quality, great optics.

The eyecups are a good idea that was executed poorly. Instead of being soft rubber eye cups that you can put up to your face they are made like plastic lens caps that have a 1/2 inch hole cut in them. They twist up and down to change the focal length by about 1/4 inch but there is nothing to keep you from accidently scratching your eyes with the rough edge of the hole cut in the cup.
