Digital camera reviews of Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 Zoom Porro Prism Compact & Lightweight Binocular
Digital camera Review: Good with the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Good with the price.
Cons first:
It will be dramatic darker from 20X to 30X.(from 10X to 20X is not so obvious)
Image quality drops as the brightness, too. Not sure if it is because hand-shaking amplified with 30X, or the lens design limit, or both.
I personally am not used to the location of the magnification ring.
Eye-relief is plastic, not rubber. Maybe Olympus shouldn't cost down here....
Pros:
super light weight, with 10X-30X wide range magnification.
10X image is pretty clear. (can't say crystal clear since I've had a chance to use a 2000+ Swarovski one ...)
acceptable image at 20X and usable image @ 30X
for this price, I don't think it should be complained for its image quality
Digital camera Review: In a word... fantastic.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 is the perfect companion for any activity. Provides clear, distortion-free optics in an intelligently designed package. Having searched for quite a while to find a compact binocular with an adjustable focal range; the design, features, functionality, ruggedness and rock-solid quality of the Olympus can't be beat. Deserves SIX stars in a sea of otherwise mediocre products.Digital camera Review: OK for the Size
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased these Olympus binoculars at the same time a set of Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars. I wanted two for a trip in May for my wife and myself. After using the higher priced Canons with image stabilization and large field of view, everything else does not seem that good. With the small eye pieces I find it hard with the Olympus to align my eyes with the eye pieces and therefore see out of both eyes well. Also keep in mind that when you do use the large zoom option, you are loosing a lot of light which is OK during the day. This is of course not a good feature in the evenings or night.
I know a lot of these shortfalls all come from being small travel binoculars which is why I gave it a 3 star rating instead of a lower rating. Image quality is good for the size and the zoom is a nice feature, but the image will be hard to keep in the field of view on the largest setting. If you do have the money, then these work well for the size. If you can afford to spend more and give some on weight and size, then I really recommend the Canon Image Stabilization Binoculars.
Digital camera Review: Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 Zoom Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this pair of binocular's to take to the Indy Car race in St. Petersburg last month. I wanted a light fairly inexpensive pair to use for racing and other sporting events.
They have been a pleasant surprise. They are in fact light weight, provide good optics for the price and are nice and compact for carrying and storage.
I think for the price, quality and practicality for their intended use, they are a good deal.
