 excellent quality December 13, 2007

These are truly great binoculars and while they are expensive the price was lower than I expected to find. The only complaint is that they don't come with lens covers. You have to buy them separately. For the price Canon should include them.
 Wow, what a product December 3, 2007
I thought about this purchase for quite a while, pretty expensive for binoculars, so was not an impulse purchase. Boy am I glad I did it! The clarity is outstanding - when I watched a football game under the lights, it was like watching the game on a bright LCD TV. The IS really makes this product.
The only drawback is that they are a wee bit heavy. I haven't been bothered by this, but you will surely notice.
Go ahead - do it!

As an avid boater (owned 24) this binocular is the best I have owned. Admittedly they are also the most expensive that I have purchased. So if they hold up I will stay very satisfied.
Excellent For Daytime And Astronomy April 23, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is my first image-stabilized product, and I'm very favorably impressed. Canon has long enjoyed a reputation for top-quality consumer optics, and this binocular certainly performs up to that standard. The image stabilization makes magnification over 10x practical for handheld viewing, and is very intuitive in use: one push of the IS button to activate, another to deactivate. I was somewhat skeptical that the 15x50 would perform well at night for stargazing. The 3.33mm exit pupil seemed to be too small for astronomy, but I didn't need to be concerned. The large 50mm objective lenses gather plenty of light. This, combined with the 15x magnification and very effective stabilization system, makes it a wonderful astronomy instrument. My backyard telescope has remained under wraps for months, because the Canon is so much handier to use, with zero set-up time.
For daytime use, the images are bright, well defined, with no discernable chromatic aberration. For bird watchers, this bino may be a bit too bulky and heavy for comfort when hiking through the back country. I found that a larger padded neck strap goes a long way towards relieving that problem, though.

Absolutely excellent in virtually every respect. As commented elsewhere, the eyepiece caps are useless.
