Query: not worth the money

If you think you can hold a compact set of binoculars with 30X magnification still enough to be of any value - you are wrong. Buy a fixed magnification pair of 7, 8 or 10 X and be happy. If you need more magnification, go to a full sized pair for greater image stability. Quality was poor. The plastic seemed cheap. The zoom was not smooth at all. I bought them and immediately returned them. I was very disappointed beacuse I am a loyal Olympus customer for compact 35 mm cameras and digital cameras. Thought the quality would carry over. I was wrong.
