Conventional models only let you see a 50-degree field of view, but our new WideView binocs provide a 70-degree field of view to let you find the experience you are seeking. This new model lets you know "more" is definitely NOT "less" while providing comfort for your viewing pleasure with its sliding eyecups for instant eye-relief.

STYLISH, ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Sleek and stylish, the contoured rubber hand grisps assure a good grip on these compact metallic silver binoculars.

HIGH INDEX BaK-4 PRISMS
For maximum image brightness and contrast around the edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great everyday binoculars., September 16, 2004

This review is from: Olympus WideView 8x25 Porro Compact Binocular (Electronics)

I have an older model of this binocular, but the specs and appearance are very similar. These are small enough to carry to the theater, clear enough for sight seeing and camping. I'll never again use anything less than wide angle for general use. For me, more than 8x power causes so much jitter that the power is useless without a tripod or stabalization which requires more weight. My eyesight is appropriatly fuzzy for fifty-something and these really help at events.
