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.


OK for the Size 2006-03-19
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.


hard to use 2006-03-14
NO eye piece cover - you put your eye on a hard surface
hard to focus
hard to find objects
I lost a pair similar to these that were much better


Olympus Tracker 10-30x25 Zoom Review 2008-05-02
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.

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 2006-07-19
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.

Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value.
HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
