Editorial Review:
Canon's range of binoculars brings the world within your reach. High-quality Canon optics in every model provides excellent edge-to-edge contrast and sharpness. All models feature environmentally friendly lead-free glass and a rubberized non-slip grip for easy handling, indoors or out.Ideal for a wide variety of purposes, these binoculars have a powerful magnification of 12x36, ideal for spectator sports, bird watching and water sports.
Canon's 12x36 IS binoculars incorporate an optical image stabilizer for shake-free viewing with minimal eye fatigue. This technology was first developed for Canon video camcorders and is now available in many of Canon's binoculars. The system employs a Vari-Angle Prism, dual transparent plates, independent vertical and horizontal sensors, and a dedicated microprocessor to continuously adjust the prism to maintain a steady image.
These 12x36 IS binoculars feature a water-resistant rubber coating for nonslip holding. If you get caught in light rain, you don't have to worry about the optics fogging up or getting ruined. These binoculars deliver high magnification, long eye relief, and wide-field viewing. Controls for focusing and image stabilization are centrally located and are accessible by both hands.

Design flaw... This product has a fatal design flaw. The two eye pieces are a fixed distance apart. If the width of your eyes are not the same as the binoculars, then you can only see properly through either the left or right lense, but not both. If you try to view using both, and your eyes are not wide enough, the center of your view has a blocked-out portion which is annoying. My eyes are not wide enough apart, so I can't use both lenses. The magnification is not as impressive as the other views state. However, the... more info
