A great small digital camera that can DIVE!.......2007-12-24

Great pics, works great with optional underwater housing (good to about 140 feet). Only complaint is LCD washes out in bright sunlight, but a good photographer will still get OK results. Great for trips (small), and I can dive with it, too! Not an SLR, but I don't generally travel with that.

Grainy, noisy images make this cam dissapointing!.......2007-12-13

Aesthetically and ergonomically, this is one sleek, gorgeous design. BUT to make a long story short, MANY of the photos taken with this cam are in fact 'grainy' and 'noisy', and unquestionably lacking sharpness and detail (especially indoor flash shots) for what is supposed to be a 7.1 megapixel image. My wife and I actually compared the 'Olympus 710' pics with our 5 year old 'FujiFilm 2650' 2 megapixel camera's pics, and SHOCKINGLY the old 2 megapixel cam won hands down! Go figure. Even our much less expensive 'Nikon Coolpix L14' that we just bought to replace this camera, has far superior quality images. The interesting thing is that I read several posts and/or threads here on 'Amazon' and on the net that allude to the blurry pics that the 710 often displays. Perhaps there was a quality control issue on some of these cams? If anyone else has experienced dissapointing quality images with this cam, please comment below and share your story. Thanks.

The LCD screen breaks easily & not worth the cost to fix.......2007-12-13

Same as others with the breaking LCD screen what a bummer they should do some sort of testing with pressure placed on the screen and have to meet a minimum force to break. I like the camera other than that. Slim and long lasting battery user friendly It would have cost $130 to send back and replace the screen I can get a new one on e bay for that so I won't buy Olympus cameras any more. I am going to try Sony now.

Olympus camera.......2007-11-26

this is a nice compact camera that connects directly to your computer via a usb cable and no additional software needed. consider purchasing a sd card for additonal memory

Highly Serviceable - Will It Last??.......2007-10-12

My old Olympus just quit working one day, and at a very inconvenient time and place. However, I'd invested in Olympus memory cards, so...

This camera is much more versatile and takes even better pix than my old one. I've already used it extensively and have been very pleased with the results in general. Some squibs:

Low light still does not produce outstanding results, unless you use the flash. While there is an "anti-shake" feature, I'm not sure it works as well as I might need (given my age and condition).

Redeye is still an issue, just like with my old Oly.

And, finally, since the lens is so, so tiny, high-res pictures can still leave a "muddy" quality. I've enlarged some of the high-res work and could still see "mud" at some extreme magnifications.

It's a great camera overall, though, and you won't be disappointed. That is, until it breaks...

Product Description

The MINOX BD 7 x 42 BR asph. boasts a fantastic field of view and compact features which satisfy the requirements put by several application fields. In many sport and hunting situations it is particularly important to provide an extremely steady image. With the new MINOX glass the observer is guaranteed practically shake-free viewing. The features responsible for this are the large exit pupil of 6mm and the 7 x magnification. The use of aspherical lenses provides additional edge sharpness and also a substantial reduction in weight based on the compact design. The MINOX BD 7x42 BR asph. is now a great companion for people wearing glasses as well, as the special eyepiece for wearers of glasses, featuring infinitely variable sliding eyecups, enable them to experience the full field of view. The M lens coating which is renowned all over the world for minimizing optical reflections and the phase-corrected prisms permits an exceptionally high light transmission. Like all other binoculars of the MINOX series, the BD 7 x 42 BR asph. has a body of rubber-armored aluminum which guarantees high stability as well as reliable functioning of the inner optical and precision mechanical systems. The argon gas filling avoids misting up of the optical system from the inside.

Ordered a Leica, received a Minox -- twice!.......2004-11-16

I was shopping for Leica's excellent '7x42 BR' Ultravid binoculars when I found this Amazon page. I thought the product name was confusing. Leica does NOT produce a 'BD 7x42 BR' model, so was the 'BD' a typo?

The 'Product Description' and 'Product Specifications' perfectly describe Leica's 7x42 BR Ultravid binoculars. The price was great. So I ordered a pair.

A few days later I received... a pair of MINOX BD 7x42 BR binocs. Whoops! Someone obviously messed up the order. Amazon allowed me to ship the Minox binocs back for free and wait for the next backordered shipment of the Leicas.

A month later, my package finally arrives. I open the box to discover a new pair of--you guessed it--MINOX BD 7x42 BR binoculars.

A quick search of Amazon for 'Leica 7x42' turned up a new listing: 'Leica Binoculars Ultravid 7x42 BR Black Rubber Armored'. Gee, I thought that's what I bought. The 'Product Description' for the new listing is almost identical, but the price is much higher.

I've just sent the second set of Minox BD 7x42 BR binocs back to Amazon and asked once again for the Leicas I paid for. Anyone's guess what will happen next, but I'm expected a Minox trifecta. If you're looking for a good price on Leica ultravids, the Leica 'BD 7x42 BN binoculars' is probably NOT the product to order.
