Excellent product August 28, 2008
Andrew Peters (London, UK.)
After reading all the other reviews when looking for IS binoculars I decided on these because of the glass, the weight and the field of view. Having now bought a pair I can say they are excellent. Easy to handle, superb optics and the IS function works extremely well. Hand held images look as though I have the binoculars on a tripod - very stable indeed. I would however echo some other comments on the downside - the lens caps at both ends don't fit well at all. The eye piece caps fall off when turned upside down, and the objective lens caps whilst they do stay in place, just, are very fiddly to fit on correctly. I'm buying some skylight filters to protect the lens just in case. That said, an excellent product, and if Canon can solve the lens cap issue for future releases then I'd say these are flawless.

Image stabilizer saved a favorite hobby April 28, 2008

I have been an avid birdwatcher for over twenty years. Recently I have had trouble holding the binoculars still enough due to an inherited tremor and a recently acquired broken arm. I was afraid I would have to give up one of my favorite activities. The Canon image stabilizer binoculars are easy to use and provide a sharp image that does not waver. Thanks Canon for helping me continue a good quality of life.

Cannon 10X42 IS binoculars BIONIC EYES! February 5, 2008
William Horan (Grand Cayman)
I hesitated to spend this much on something kind of ugly, and when I first opened the box, thought I had made a mistake...until I tried them while at sea. I deep sea fish, and have always had good Zeiss binoculars onboard... but only use them in calm seas; attempts to use otherwise result in cross-eyed vertigo. The new Canon binocs are like having bionic eyes! I not only see distant birds that I never would have seen otherwise, but can actually watch my trolling baits far behind the boat and see how they are running. My Cayman friends all went bonkers when I let them try these beauties out. I am thrilled with this product and getting rid of my treasured Zeiss binocs.

I cant imagen binoculars beeing better at all!
Compared to zeiss 10x42 binoculars you see a LOT more details. I have a steady hand and it works fine without IS on but when you press the button you realize how greatly needed IS really are.
