Olympus binoculars

As a Christmas gift to a family member, these binocs fit the bill. Not expensive, lightweight and small, well-packed, and the right magnification for birdwatching. No report from the gift receivers yet, but assume they like them.

Great Binoculars for the Amateur

These were great. I bought them for wildlife-spotting during a trip to Costa Rica and I don't have anything negative to say. I'm not well-versed in the world of optics, but I am well-versed in the art of complaining and I don't have any complaints. I probably would have noticed immediately if these turned out to be poor quality but I had absolutely no issues. They're light weight, very easy to manuever and the price was great. My only qualm was that i didn't buy two pairs -- my boyfriend and I shared these on the trip so we had to keep readjusting the focus, width, etc., but now I know to buy a second pair for the next trip.

Great binoculars

I bought these for use at the US Open in San Diego last June. They were everything I hoped they would be: light, easy to carry in my pocket, easy to focus, and provided clear, sharp viewing. This is one of the best online purchases I have ever made. I highly recommend them.
