 WOW, A Must Buy!! December 21, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a relative of mine that is big into bird watching. I have tried bird watching in the past, but found myself getting irritated with my perpetually shaky binoculars. No matter how hard I tried to hold the them still, I simply couldn't do it. For me, the constant "shake, shake, shake" makes using binoculars frustrating, as the picture is never as clear or stable as it should be.
Recently, I was shown a brand new pair of image stabilized binoculars from Canon. I don't remember what particular version it was, but I was extremely impressed with it. The moment I pressed the IS (image stabilization) button, the picture became solid and crystal clear. Wow, what a joy to use...
After a few more weeks of using "regular" binoculars, I finally gave into the temptation to upgrade to a brand new pair of 10x30 Canon Image Stabilization Binoculars! Wow, I am so glad that I did... The picture is amazingly clear and the range is excellent. Besides this, anytime that I want to a stabilize the picture, I simply press the IS button -- and PRESTO! ... A clear picture without those annoying shakes. It truly makes bird watching (or any other hobby in which you need binoculars with an IS feature) enjoyable again.
I HIGH RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

The glasses are remarkable. I was really impressed when viewing the moon. The picture was clear, but when I pressed the button fto stabilize the view, the craters popped out very clearly. The size is also convenient.
Canon IS Binos - Excellence for a Great Price December 16, 2007

I purchased he Canon IS 10x30 binos for my wife a couple of Christmas' ago and since then they have been used, weekly, for daytime and astronomy purposes. I use them for quick views of the night sky and daytime for observing wildlife during trips upstate - or in the back yard. Excellent build quality, optics and image stabliization (that really works well) for only $300 dollars! The soft case is well padded and fits the binos like a glove. The 2-AA batteries don't last a long time under continued use, so we keep a 4 pack in the case as backup.
The optics are made so well that the sharpness and brightness are equal to other quality name brand 7 x 50 binos that I own.
Highly recommended little binos that pack a BIG punch for the bucks.

I have nothing original to say about these binoculars beyond the other expressed sentiments. They are incredible. I use them primarily for star/moon/(and currently comet Holmes) gazing. As an example, I can readily split certain double stars which are un-splittable with my 10 x 50 non-IS binoculars. The image is very bright, the stabilization is amazing. I wear eyeglasses and the eye relief is excellent. Excellent field of view. The star images are crisp all the way out to the edge of the field. The binocs are light and easy to handle. The requirement to keep the button pressed for IS to be engaged is simply not a problem at all. Yes, I wish Canon had supplied caps for the objective lenses but this is not a big deal. My other binoculars have become instantly obsolete. I have a hard time imagining anyone buying these things and being disappointed.

Bottom line...this was the ideal combination of features and weight. I didn't use the IS feature too many times but I was glad to have it. Some recommend a 40X but I think the added weight is a negative at least in this setting. You are either close enough to the animals or, the animals are hiding in the brush.
