OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS Roamer 10x21 DPC I Compact Porro Prism Binocular (Black)

I bought these quite a while back (2017) for traveling and while I don't use them much, they've always been fine - clear view, good magnification, easy to use, small and light. They fit in the palm of my hand (and I'm a small person). I'm about to go on another trip and I wanted to get something with better magnification, so picked up a couple of less expensive binoculars and found that you get what you pay for - magnification not nearly as strong as advertised, features that don't actually work. Some things were just fine - views were clear and they were easy to use - but the drawbacks made me realize what a gem these binoculars are. (The other binoculars are fine enough, but just not for my purposes.) If you're looking for something for traveling, concerts, sporting events, sightseeing, these are great, and the price point is worth it. The only thing that I wish it had were screw eyecups - since I wear glasses, having to fold down the rubber eyecups is a bit of a hassle.

Smaller than anticipated but the clarity is exceptional. Very nice for the price, perfect for watching the birds at the feeder which is why they were purchases. After seeing just how compact and clear they are, they will be accompanying me to the upcoming summer concerts at the Botanical Garden in St. Louis.

For the price, I'm happy with these portable, adequate binocs. I take them to sports games, concerts, hikes and on my last cruise. They're about the size of a hamburger (!) and fit nicely in the case, which I just chuck in my bag. It's not for a serious bird-watcher or long distances...but it's great for casual use. The portability of these binocs means that I tend to bring them along more often -- and enjoy using them more often. Glad

Olympus Roamer is a great choice for anyone who is looking to get a decent pair of binoculars that is portable, provides good performance and will not burn a hole in their wallet. The Good: Compatible: Great for sporting events. It will not take up a lot of space. Stylish: Silver-style finish gives it a sleek look. UV-Protection: It claims to give you UV Protection. I'm no UV expert, but I'm guessing its a good thing. The Bad: Doesn't provide the advanced features of the deluxe binoculars, but it is still a great bang for your buck. Bottom Line: A great set for those who are looking for their first pair of binoculrs for sporting events, opera shows and other short-medium range close-up viewing. While these are a great for recreational activities, these will probably not going to be an ideal buy for the professionals.

other reviewers are correct that these might be better suited for children.. they are really too small to be practical for every day adult use and the clarity is not as sharp as I'd expected/hoped. but as other reviewers have also said, they are good just to have around to use in a pinch.

Perfect size and zoom optics impressive

Picked these because we needed small and light as they are going to be used during a backpacking trip Reasonable price and decent resolution

This small easy-to-carry binocular is very high quality and works great ! So for the price, it's unbeatable. Just had a prior unit that I accidentally dropped which slightly mis-aligns and makes them useless, so be careful !
