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.

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.

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.

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.
