Digital camera reviews of Olympus Roamer 8x21 DPC I Compact Porro Prism Binocular (Silver)
Digital camera Review: Excellent Binoculars
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Good for concerts
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought to use at concerts because of their small size. I have used them twice so far with good results in low light conditions. Their size make them convienent to carry in your pocket. Good deal for the money. I have full sized binoculars I use for all other situations.Digital camera Review: Great price but you get what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these becuase they were on sale and cheap, so if that is your goal they are fine. BUT the are very dark compared to other glasses (i.e. the Nikon Travelite V) and not terribly clear. Better glasses will capture light and make viewing easier. These only work well in bright light. Unless you are really boke, spend the extra money and get binoculars with higher quality lenses.Digital camera Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
compact, lightweight, good optics and for a very reasonable price. Luckily I read about porro prisms before buying these binocs -- at this lower price range, porro prisms are much better than the roof prisms.Digital camera Review: Not as pleased as other reviewers of this product
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
