Blown away First, I need to disclose that I am entirely new to binoculars. Prior to the Canon 10x30's my previous binoculars were made by Bushell. As you know, these are the cheap binoculars you get at department stores are really horrible once compared to something just a bit more expensive. So you can see where I'm coming from. Well, When I first used these Canons I looked at the Moon and I can't believe how bright it was. The image is as crisp as my eyes can resolve, and the binoculars are surprisingly easy to... more info
Instant gratification There is no need for big talk to demonstrate the product. Point at a target, press the stabilization button. Three seconds later you are sold. There will be no going back... even if the world runs out of batteries. Let's only wish for the next generations that the vibration reduction system will not be as bulky ( look at camera lenses do you see a bulge anywhere for the VR ? ) and the price comes more in line... otherwise, just a great product.
Great binocs I used Amazon's reviews to select these binoculars and I was not disappointed. The image stabilization is well worth purchasing. I use them for birdwatching and I am very happy with this feature.
Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries These are great binoculars. The optics are good and the image stabilization works well and by minimizing jiggle adds significantly to what you can see and identify. I bought my first pair several years ago for something over $500 and was well satisfied. Unfortunately they were dropped and were unuseable and unrepairable (for less than the cost of a new pair). So at a price of $300+ I am well satisfied.
