For several years I owned a pair of Bushnell binoculars that I just didn't get along with. Nothing I did improved focus (yes, I followed the directions) and for some odd reason I seemed to suffer from double vision when looking through them (again, configuration was correct). So I finally gave up and invested in these Olympus Trooper 10x50 binoculars. All it took was a couple of seconds to make them perfect for me. The optics are clear and bright, focus is a piece of cake to obtain, the magnification and range are great and they fit very comfortably and securely in my hand. The carrying case is padded and well made. My one criticism (maybe) would be the strap, which although strong is thin and not so comfortable to sling over the neck or shoulder for longer periods of time. But I don't think the quality of these binoculars can be beat for their very reasonable price.

These binoculars are amazing. The optics are flawless, and extremely clear. I highly recommend these binoculars. I mainly use them for astronomy. They allow you to see the rings of Saturn. Awesome buy.

I was looking for a binolular for my Summer crusie to Alaska. Many reviews said that Olympus Trooper 10x50 DPS is a very good binocular. It gives you very clear and stable image; easy to control and adjust; and relatively cheaper. So I bought it. I am very happy to have this binocular. As the reviews said, I can easily get the clear picture, no double image with colorful edge. This is a really good binocular.

I purchased the Olympus Trooper 10X50 binoculars in preparation for a vacation to Alaska. I have not been disappointed with the binoculars based on the performance that they have exhibited. Great quality & functionality for the price.

We wanted binoculars to start bird watching and after reading many reviews I settled on these. They are very reasonably priced and the view is great. easy to adjust and handle.

These are very good binoculars when all factors are taken into account. They are not perfect, but the optics are great. I seen no obvious spherical, nor chromatic aberration so obvious in cheap binoculars. Brightness is great in low-light conditions, which is a plus in terrestrial viewing. The only area of concern that I have found is flare when looking at something such as a star or planet, and the object is proximate to a bright source of light. That is not likely to present a problem in most cases even if it is a minor irritation. All in all I think that value for dollar, these are solid, decent binoculars. They will have to do until I have money for Zeiss binoculars, and they will do well.

I read the other reviews and they are right. For the price, these are great and they do not weigh to much. I am small and that was a concern of mine. I did not want to have the binoculars on a tripod all the time & these work pefect to star gaze or nature watch.

These are EVEN BETTER than I thought they would be. Big and bright, easy to use, easy to focus, nice case. Bought them for an Alaska cruise, but using them no watch neighborhood birds, too. WELL worth the price!

First of all let me tell you I am a nikon fan. Usually for optical products I buy nikon. I already have a Nikon Monarch 10x44, which I am quite happy with, so I didn't expect to buy another binoculars. The other day I was at bestbuy and they have a few binoculars on display, since I was waiting to pick up my daughter, just to kill time I started checking them one by one. Most vivitars, bushnells are quite crappy, image is dark and not aligned properly. One of the vivitar was so badly out of alignment, I got a headache after watching it. But when I picked up this olympus, I was shocked to see how great the picture is. And it was only $40. I decided to get one home to compare side by side with my Nikon Monarch.

When I get home, I found I can't tell the difference between this Olympus and my Nikon(optical wise). I asked my wife to try(without telling her the price of course), she tried and concluded she likes the Olympus better!

I'd say both are very good, high quality binoculars, but with Nikon priced at $250 and this one is less than $50, there's really no competition. The only thing Nikon outperforms is the size. The nikon is roof type while the Olympus is Porro, Nikon is significantly smaller and lighter. But image quality wise, they are very very similar.

The only minor thing I can complain is, the covers are not permanently attached to the body like most high end binoculars, so my kids can easily lose them.

I am surprised with this product. I see people from 600 m., but without these binoculars the people see like points. For minor lengths the view is very clear. Very good product(for the price) and fine service.
