Binoculars.......2007-05-24
Not a great item - doesn't do much and definitely not worth the price.
An Honest Product.......2007-05-14
These binoculars are really quite nice, very small and they work well, I would not say they are great, but for what they are and the price point they,re at they are well worth it, nice images, work easily,and small.
I,ve dragged them around with me all over, dropped them (in case) and still continue to work ok.
Good for a compact binocular.......2006-08-22
Overall it does what it is supposed to do. Compact size is a plus. The only complaint is the view gets dim when you zoom in a cloudy day.
Good price for the features.......2006-07-20
I bought this product just before a trip to Alaska - price was right, light weight and has good magnification. During use I noticed the Eye placement is not very comfortable, most of the time you will have to hold it slightly away from your eye - I wish it had soft receptacles like the other larger binocular that I have. Resting it over the eye would have provided a better support.
This would be a good buy if it is meant for light occasional use - standing on firm ground. Even at lowest maginification (because it is already 10x) there is a mild shake perhaps due to wind and unsteady hands.
If I had known how often I will be using the binoculars in a moving platform such as cruises, train and bus rides, I would have gone for one with optical image stabiliser.
Good bang for your buck.......2006-04-07
I bought these binoculars about a month ago and have been using it since. This pair does all that it promises, if not much more. The unit has a solid feel and does not look cheapy. The images at 10x are crisp but when you go 30x they get a tad dull given the 25mm lenses (I wont blame Olympus for this one since it is not a fault, just a way to cut size and costs. 50mm is the way to go if you dont mind the size).
I would've given it 5 stars had it not been for the zoom-lever; the lever sticks just a bit when I zoom to max almost giving a "grindy" feeling.
A couple of minor desirable features I'd like to see added:
1) Tripod support - if you have steady hands you are fine but at 30x even the slightest of shakes can make the image look blurry.
2) Lens caps - Given these babies cost me about $80 I'd like to see a pair of caps for the object lenses.
I will buy something with 50mm objective lenses and variable zoom if they came less bulkier.

Pentax UCF X-II Excellent value and performance.......2007-04-12
I purchased these a couple of years ago for mountain rescue work. I wanted something lightweight, sufficient power, and that would work well with glasses. They succeeded superbly on all accounts. I now am glasses-free (thanks to Lasics!) and the binocs work equally well without glasses. Nice adjustments that are easy to locate and use. They are an excellent trade-off between weight and size on one hand, and performance on the other hand. Also, they seem to be rugged, although I have yet to launch them off a cliff face.
Considering the cost of some binoculars, these are affordable and offer great performance.

You get what you pay for?.......2007-03-11
For the price, it's difficult to find fault with these binoculars. Tasco is evidently trying hard to make a high-value product (not just a toy) at an extremely competitive price. They are light, small, reasonably solid, and for the price I never worry about taking them into situations where they might get a little wet or a little mechanical abuse (e.g., bumps or scrapes).
So these would be a great choice for occasional or emergency use (e.g., to throw in a glove compartment or emergency bag, or to take hiking or backpacking), when having a small, lightweight, relatively high-power set of binoculars would be beneficial.
If you'll be using these for extended periods of time, I would encourage you to keep looking. The eye relief isn't great, so if you wear glasses you won't be able to see the full field of view. Also, and it could just be my pair, mine do not focus very sharply (spherical aberration?), especially at larger distances.
Also, be aware that these are probably best for active outdoors activities (hiking, hunting, etc.) in bright light -- if you can put up with the extra weight and cost, you might be better served by a pair with larger effective aperture and corresponding exit pupil (e.g., 10x42 or even 10x50) for pursuits like astronomy or (more sedentary) birding. This is not a criticism of these binoculars; they are designed to be 10x25, so the only thing I might complain about is the transmission of the AR coating, but that's simply not fair at this price point.
If you do get a pair, do some thorough field testing as soon as you get them, and return them if they don't suit your expectations.
Three stars may be too tough on these, but they're just not good enough optically to warrant more. Still, especially given their price, they're a whole lot better than nothing in a pinch.
5 STARS-These little binoculars are great...my extremely selective son just loves them, and they're an excellent value, to boot!.......2006-01-16
These binoculars are so superior to the Bushnell 4x30 Powerview model I just returned that they aren't in the same leage, from a quality standpoint (not to mention magnification). They gather more light, despite having a smaller objective lens, they focus with less fuss, the optical quality is an order of magnitude greater, and they look a heck of a lot cooler. In addition to all of that, they don't have a cheesy Bushnell logo that is so large, you would think I'm trying to sell them to you. The camouflage rubberized exterior is far more attractive, and they just work.
My son is an extremely...selective sort (like his father), and he really appreciates quality. Let's just say that he has nothing nice to say about his former Bushnell Powerviews and he sleeps with his new "security" binoculars (think security blanket). He absolutely loves them, and I believe they are his favorite Christmas present.
Oh, and for the price, these are truly a no-brainer. Just do it. You won't regret it. :)

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.
Binoculars - Bushnell folding.......2007-09-07
It takes just a little bit of adjusting to get it focused but it is fine for me to use whenever I need it.
