 A real surprise October 21, 2000
100 out of 100 found this review helpful
I've been a binocular junkie for years. I've specialized in high end glasses, particularly Leitz, Swarovski and Hensoldt (when I could get them). Two years ago, in anticipation of a trip to Kenya where I would spend the days in a moving LandRover, I thought I'd try the (then new) Cannon 10x30 Image Stabilizers. I was just blown away! The optics are excellent and the weight is surprisingly light. But the image stabilizing feature is just fabulous. There is simply no wiggle when holding these binoculars (and I'm a big coffee drinker). While they won't compensate for big rolls, jumps and twists in a moving car, they eliminate all the vibration and result in much less eye fatigue. In my opinion, it's a case of technology having obsoleted a very fine product. Take my word, do not spend over $500 for fixed binoculars without first trying the image stabilized Cannons. It's a revelation.
Uncanny!!!! October 12, 2000

If you've never experienced image stabilization, you owe it to yourself to try it. The first instant you observe it, you can't believe your eyes and brain. It's like magic. Hyperbole? No. Fact? Yes. The device is operated by AA batteries (as I recall) and is activated by a light press of a small, comfortably placed button. Press the button, see the image stop shaking. Release the button, see vibrations. Uncanny. Magic. Without a doubt, the best binoculars I've ever used. Makes 10 power and above useful in a hand-held glass.
Six Month Award August 19, 2000

About once every six months I buy something where the quality or functionality blows me away. It's probably more likely through e-commerce when you've never actually seen the product (power of low expectations). Anyway, these 10x30 IS binoculars get the six month award. I looked at [more expensive] image stabilized binoculars and these are hands down better. No jerky movement when panning -- Excellent stabilized image... No achromatic distortion, bright, clear flat image out to the edge, wide field of view, huge focusing range, ample eye relief, gigantic exit pupil, no backlash in the focuser, all in a lightweight small package. I'm going to buy more stuff I've never seen.
Comfortable 10X magnification August 16, 2000

This is the first binocular that allows me to move up to 10X magnification & not feel eye strain. I can focus on tiny details without my brain hurting from the movement. I had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison with a pair of Leica 10X binocs. & the Canon optics were VERY close. The stable image made the difference though. At night I can look at the moon & see so much more than ever before. The Canon IS binoculars are a totally unique viewing experience. Really, they're that good!
Incredible August 7, 2000

These binoculars are amazing. The image stabilization clears up little vibrations like vibrations from a car or even old age. The batteries last a good while. This model is much lighter than the others and in combination with the excellent optics these binoculars are well worth the money.
