Canon are the world leaders and indeed pioneers in image stabilisation binoculars and this set of Canon 12x36 II IS Image stabilization binoculars has to be for me is one of the best pairs of binoculars in their range.

Safari and birds

Used these on tour and safari across Namibia. Great binoculars. Would have liked 10x50 but too expensive however what these lack in power they make up for in pure useability. They are so light and compact that they are easy to hold steady in any event but with the IS button they are superb.

A Revelation!

I wasn't sure about this technology so,lest I was disappointed, I started at the bottom of the range with the 8 X 25.I was not disappointed - the results were remarkable. And they were still small enough to be carried on your belt.Unfortunately, I liked them so much that I coveted a more powerful...

Remarkable

Cheap case

Great stabilization

I use these for birding. Without stabilization 12x is too long for me due to the way my hand shaking is amplified. But these give me a rock solid view. There is a little bit of visible chromatic aberration. Not enough to bother me.

Good Stabilization; Strong Construction

Chromatic Aberration

Works great

Fairly good optical quality considering price; The stabilization system works great and makes a big difference; I like them very much
