not a good buy2008-11-29
I don't know who they paid to write up the recommendations, but I will never rely on them again. I used to use recommendations because I thought that real people did them, but for this product, I think not. It had to sales reps.I see closer with the naked eye than these things. It was a waste of money put the return was a nightmare. They charge 20% if the box is open. Never mind customer satisfaction. How do you determine satisfaction if you don't open the box. We all know how distorting web pictures can be when looking for an item.They are never wha you think they are. Customer satifaction is a myth with this company and I will never order from them again. I should have trusted my first instinct. Never, never again.
Excellent value2008-11-14
I purchased these for use as "opera glasses" rather than for field use. Their light weight (6 oz) makes them easily portable even in a light jacket, though the case comes with a pass-through for attaching to a belt. The clarity and ease of use is typical for Olympus (and above average overall). Next year my sister and her family are going to Africa, and they will be taking them on safari. I have found no shortcomings in my use of them thus far. I would recommend these for anyone but the hardest-core, long distance binocular user.
Very Satisfied2008-10-15
I was very impressed with the power and clarity of these binoculars as well as the ease of carrying them around. Used them on an Alaskan cruise and were very satisfied. I was glad I took the time to research the different binoculars using Consumer Reports and was able to find the exact model on Amazon.
good deal2008-10-06
We received the binoculars as promised. We have found them
to be very useful at the football games, easy to carry and use.
good for the size2008-10-05
A quarter of a century ago I bought a pair of Nikon Action binoculars that produced a simply stunning image - bright, contrasty, sharp. I was hoping for the same from a new pair of RC-1s, but that was not to be the case - I would describe the image as adequate, but not stunning. The great advantage of these is that they are small and light. But if you want the kind of image a full sized pair of field binoculars can produce, you'll have to put up with their weight and size, because these don't do it. Why Consumer Reports has been so enthusiastic about them is a mystery to me, but they tested a whole bunch of them - maybe this is the best of the lot.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
