So Good, I'm going to purchase another..........2007-12-27
Great looks, compact and very functional. I'm so pleased with my purchase I'll buy another one for my boat. It's so easy to stow away.
These binocs are a good pick........2007-10-22
I love these binocs. Very light and compact, and they work quite well. I've had larger binoculars in the past that are heavy and clunky - and it seemed I could never see well with them using both eyes at once. The Olympus Outback 8x21 binoculars work well, are not tricky to use, and are easy to take anywhere.

Great Pocket Binoculars.......2007-12-21
I purchased these for my step-father. He likes to have binoculars that fit in his front shirt pocket when he is out fishing. These are good quality & compact.
Good one.......2007-09-21
Good binocular. Even a good item to gift also.
Biggest advantage is that you can watch without glasses.
Decent value .......2007-08-24
For about $20.00, these are just fine. The image is not particularly bright...but they are clear and focus accurately. And they are VERY portable - folded they are about the size of a GPS or digital camera.
Bushnell Powerview 8x21 compacvt Binoculars.......2007-08-13
These are a decent little pair of binocvulars. The light gathering power is not enormous, but I was able to see night sky objetcs well, andromeda galaxy and the Pleadies star cluster looked nice. They fold up and are fairly compact. Good for daylight viewing and bird watching, not the best out there, but good for being very inexpensive.
Best value for money.......2007-05-19
I bought my first binoculars. These are compact, lightweight and easy to use. Highly recommend.

compared to roamer 8x21 roof prism binocs.......2007-12-18
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.......2007-10-04
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.
Binoculars.......2007-10-01
They're a little too small to be conveniently used, and the two eyes require separate focusing. However, they are very easy to carry and are adequate for many purposes. If you're not looking for anything fancy, these are a good buy.
Excellent Binoculars.......2007-08-01
My brother and sister-in-law have this binocular. I borrowed it at a music festival and my husband and I were very impressed with it. I use it mainly for bird watching and feel that it fits my lifestyle. They are small and lightweight enough to carry around while gardening and it is economically priced. I have a more expensive binocular, but don't find that the clarity of the view is as good as this one.
Alaska.......2007-06-13
Took these on my cruise to Alaska and they were just perfect. For little money the image quality was great. The size and weight made them very easy to carry around. Great buy if your not looking to spending a lot of money.

Good and Reasonably Priced.......2007-12-27
We purchased these cute binoculars for a recent trip we took. We wanted something light and compact to put into my pocket book just in case we wanted a closer look while sightseeing. They were perfect as we went to Sedona, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and we would have definitely been disappointed without them. These binoculars had a very good view and steady feel. We got a really close look at the condors soaring over the Grand Canyon. We found the binoculars to be of good value and performance.
better than decent.......2007-12-12
Bought as a gift for my father. he needed something small and lightweight which these are. I dont know how clear and how crisp the ocular qualities are, as Ive not been the one to use them. But he hasnt had any complaints.
Broke after 2 uses and exit pupil too narrow.......2007-10-20
I've only used these twice and the 2nd time was star gazing and the focusing mechanism in the left lens stopped working without an apparent cause of damage. The small exit pupil diamater has always resulted in serious eye strain as well, making perfect alignment a requirement for getting any usable images.
You get what you pay for.
Opera Goer.......2007-10-02
I bought these binoculars as a companion to the opera. I used them yesterday for the first time, and I must say these do the job just great. The size is very small, so you can put them in a small purse, and the touch and design of them are very delicate. I was sharing them throughout the whole performance, and I did not have any problem at all with the focus; they were in focus all the time. I did not know much about binoculars, so I did some research online before buying. I found out Bushnell was a very reliable brand, and the price of these on Amazon is just great ($19.99 while I am writing this review). I wear glasses, so I have to take them off to use them properly; but that is just fine with me. My seats at the opera this year are among the worst, because I wanted to see the whole season for a cheaper price, so I needed to make sure I got binoculars. I am completely satisfied with these, and I do not need any fancier or more expensive ones.
