The best "Bins for the Birdies"

Crisp ,clear image and wonderful image stabiliser

The Price and not waterproof

These are the business! Focus on your target, press the button and it's almost like looking at a 3D image. The bird/item is suddenly crystal clear and it's almost as if your using a tripod.

Image stabilisation

None really

From the moment I pulled the canon 10x30 IS Binoculars out of the rapid air freight bag (and only 2 days after ordering), I could feel that the weight and quality of the product were exactly what I was after, I put them through a few quick view tests and they were balanced and fantastic to use.

I have a pair of Canon Image Stabilizer 10X30 binoculars. They were wonderful until a few years later they have now become a stickey black goopy mess. They are so bad that I can no longer use them which is a big disapointment to me. I will never purchase Canon again after this experience!

Close Focus; Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses

Poor Construction

Great set of binoculars. The "IS" has become indespensible and greatly reduces eye strain from vibration. The clarity is exceptional.

Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses

I don't know how to describe adequately my surprise and delight when I looked through these binoculars and pressed the stabilisation button for the first time. I really did say "wow", out loud. Other reviewers have pointed out that optically these are very good glasses but not the best.

These binoculars address the two main problems I had with my previous binos: - stability without a tripod - the image from the two lenses are in alignment they do both these things well. I am therefore very happy with them, and would recommend them.

I have a mild resting tremor that has developed over the last several years. As a boater I need to use binoculars regularly, my old trusty Minolta Mariners would not do. The Canon is great. Even those of you without a tremor will notice how well the stabilization works.

These binoculars are farmore the best that ive seen ,and the IS is what makes the difference in looking at a object . well worth the investment ,you wont be disappointed . easy on the eyes ,no strain real comfortable .

The second I hit the image-stabilization button, the shakiness of the bird I was following disappeared and I was able to follow the loon as it flew above the surface of the water for over 100 feet.
