 everyone loves it !! August 1, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
The good:
. The IS works amazingly well.
. The The battery life is good. Pair of alkaline batteries outlived 4 days of yellowstone national park(probably >10 hrs total?).
. The visibility is sharp, crisp and bright. (daylight)
. 30 mm is optimum. Never felt light deprived.
. Animal and bird watching (300 to 400 feet max?)
. The build quality feels good.
The bad:
. I would have liked some more magnification. maybe 20x ,but then its not the fault of the binoculars.
. If you want to see celestial bodies then this is not for you. No astronomy. You will see moon and its craters clearly and thats about it. I would have loved to see a bigger moon, but then its just a 10x.
. Pricey. You will feel the pain. But after using it for a while you will know its worth it.If I had the money I would go with canon 18 X 50 IS. Go for extended warranty IS might give future problems.

I seem to collect optics, for binoculars I've got about 4 sets of varying sizes, mostly for astronomy use. I just got these for bird watching because they're lighter and smaller than my next smallest binoculars, and of course for the image stabilization feature. 10x is a good magnification and 30mm of aperature is ample for daytime use. For me, and I think for most amateurs, this product hits the sweet spot of price and performance. For my use I don't see any reason to go with a higher magnification or larger aperature from a more expensive set. The image stabilization feature will amaze you if you've never experienced it before. It's actually preferable to using a tripod because you don't have to fiddle with height, pan, or elevation adjustments or stoop over or crane your neck to reach the tripod, not to mention less stuff to carry around if you are on a walk. Optically they seem fine to me, but again I'm only intending to use these for daytime use, and I'm not looking for nits to pick by comparing chromatic aberration on a ~$300 set of binoculars to a $2,000 televue refractor.
Amazing. May 12, 2007

The product came rapidly and as advertised. They (10x30 Canon IS) are amazing! I wish they had lens caps but I put them back in the case when not in use. You actually can use them while riding as a passenger if the road isn't too awful. Overall, I can't get over the clarity of the image. I think I'll save up for the larger ones although these meet almost any binocular need. I highly recommend these. You have to see the clarity of the image to believe it. Buy them, you'll not be disappointed. PS They work great with glasses on. I haven't used my other 10x30 (name brand) binoculars since I got these.
