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!

Utilising the technology behind the high-quality lenses in its cameras, Canon has set out its intentions for monopolising all aspects of visual optimisation with the manufacturer's 10x30 IS binoculars.Photographers will find these particularly useful to find potential shots when out in the field,

The standout feature and main selling point of the Canon's 10x30 Image-Stabilized binoculars is obviously their image stabilisation (IS) that helps to reduce and even in some cases eliminate image shake.

As a longtime birder, I have used and seen a lot of binoculars over the years, and I confess I currently own more pairs than I really need to pursue my hobby. I have a preference for 10x binoculars, but as I get older it does get a little tougher to hold the glasses steady hour after after.

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

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.

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.

Amazing binoculars. I have a condition that causes me to shake, the image Stabilizing allows me to bird watch again. I wear glasses and rolling the eye cups back allow full view with my glasses on. Highly recommend these!

I wanted a pair of binoculars with a stabilizer. One reason was so I could read fuel prices down the road while vehicle is moving. When I got these and tried them at home while still, it was amazing how they steady things (like birds). I took them on the road and they work just as well.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
