Easy to get spoiled
It is easy to get spoiled with image stabilization for binoculars. I chose the 10x42 L over the 15 or 18x50's because I wanted the largest aperture/power that I could still hand-hold if the batteries died.

The best binos in the World!
Had mine a year now. Amazing performance, from the near perfect optics, close short focus to decent true field of view. The stabilisation is a total game changer, the extra detail you see when your instrument is stable is a true eye opener. You see the world in a new light!

Would Rate 5 Stars if Repair Weren't Needed
The 10x42 IS binoculars are very nice and provide a sharp image which is perfect for bird watching and other uses. They are a bit on the heavy side but are still better for overall use than the comparable 12x36 IS binoculars that these are replacing.

Gives an awesome magnification it's worth spending money on

Let down...... I question these reviews on here.
I returned my pair. I expect much better. As hard as I tired, I could not get the focus perfect. Another review said the same thing. Also, to much focus float when image stabalization is activated. The image stabilization does work.

Not worth the money
Optically not as good as my non stabilised Leica's but I guess the money is in the stabiliser tech rather than the optics despite the "L" designation. The cheap and nasty lens covers don't fit properly, keep falling off, are of poor quality and unworthy of an item with this price tag.
Pros:
- Stabilisers Work Well
Cons:
- Bulky
- Caps Are Cheap Rubbish
- Heavy
- Not Worth The Money

Yes these are larger, bulkier and heavier than a conventional binocular but no other binocular type gives you the ability to see incredible detail by eliminating shake. I have a couple dozen binoculars from cheap to Leica and these totally obsolete them all.

Canon IS binoculars are fantastic
I purchased these binoculars after conducting much research on binoculars. I have looked through some others of the same magnification and supposed better quality - for the money and with the IS these bins outperformed any other hand held.
Pros:
- Reliable
- Durable
- Superior build quality
- Easy to use

The clearest view from any binoculars I have ever used.
Last weekend my wife said, "These binoculars are worth every penny you paid for them" as she was watching wildlife out the living room window. Before I bought the "L" glass Canon binoculars, I went to Mike's Camera in Boulder, CO and compared the Canon 10X30 and 15X50 non-L versions.

Quality System
Cannon's Image Stabilization system is noticably superior to Nikons. I can not tell the difference in the with Zeiss systems.-Zeiss is slightly more quite but bulkier. Image Stabilization technology is at it's limits at around 20x; without making them too big to carry.
Pros:
- Detailed image
- Quality Lenses
- Strong Construction
- Waterproof
- Works Well With Glasses
