The Fujifilm offroad 8x42 appears at first glance quite wertig if you take it out of the package. It is equipped with a non-slip reinforcement made of rubber, it is safe and stable in the hand. When offroad Fujifilm is a roof prism binoculars. Important for my part, the short range up to 1 m because they allow companies sometimes similar insects can observe. The field of view with 122 m to 1,000 m is also sufficient but since my Olympus 8x40 has a slightly larger field of view. Very positive is the waterproof up to 1 meter and the fogging, which is thanks to a nitrogen filled. Of course not tested but good to know here the Olympus draws clear the short straw. In handling, I can not detect any significant differences for Olympus except that the off-road compact and handy little is what I think the design is owed. As for the operation so can both glasses points and I can not notice any big differences. It is worth mentioning, so that eyeglass wearers can cope with the glass of the offroad specially designed click-stop diopter compensation. According to the manufacturer, the Fujifilm offroad 8x42 was designed for use in the great outdoors, Water resistance, the short range of 1m and compact size (jacket pockets fit) are important details. Since I have acquired both glasses at a very good price at or about Amazon recently there especially from me a clear recommendation, because the off-road was priced much higher probably settled some time ago.
