Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & BatteriesCustomer Review: Professional Hunter Approved Summary: 5 Stars
My bother-in-law and I went to Africa on safari last year. We had purchased the binoculars especially to use while hunting. The optics were good and we were initially impressed by the image stabilization while still here in the states. Our impressions were confirmed when our professional hunters fell in love with them during the hunt. They were so impressed by the IS and price that we left a pair with our hunter. He used them for the entire season last year, and when he visited "The States" last month, he reported that they are still doing well.
Customer Review: Uncanny!!!! Summary: 5 Stars
If you've never experienced image stabilization, you owe it to yourself to try it. The first instant you observe it, you can't believe your eyes and brain. It's like magic. Hyperbole? No. Fact? Yes. The device is operated by AA batteries (as I recall) and is activated by a light press of a small, comfortably placed button. Press the button, see the image stop shaking. Release the button, see vibrations. Uncanny. Magic. Without a doubt, the best binoculars I've ever used. Makes 10 power and above useful in a hand-held glass.
Customer Review: Comfortable 10X magnification Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first binocular that allows me to move up to 10X magnification & not feel eye strain. I can focus on tiny details without my brain hurting from the movement. I had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison with a pair of Leica 10X binocs. & the Canon optics were VERY close. The stable image made the difference though. At night I can look at the moon & see so much more than ever before. The Canon IS binoculars are a totally unique viewing experience. Really, they're that good!
Customer Review: Safari Necessity Summary: 5 Stars
Having been on two safaris with inferior binoculars, I sought a good pair and was lucky enough to stumble onto the Canon 10X30IS. I compared them to the Leica 8X and Minolta 8X and was thoroughly amazed. There is simply no comparison. Buy enough batteries and you will not need anything else. I was so amazed at how well they worked, I bought another pair for our travelling companions as a gift. You simply cannot go wrong with these on safari. This should be mandatory gear for safari or any moving use.
Customer Review: Wind Beater Summary: 5 Stars
Standing yesterday at South Point Hawaii, the winds were howling at 50 MPH gusts. While wind, swells and wave action obliterated most detail, pushing the IS button made the image crystal sharp and allowed me to spot a pod of about seven sprinner dolphins and the tail fluke of a humpback.
Every friend I hand the glasses to probably results in another Canon sale. This concept is clearly a technological innovation in the binocular world, and the price makes it reasonable for most.
