Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries
Customer Review: Worth the investment
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item mainly for bird watching. I own two Canon lenses with IS technology and I really appreciate the value that IS brings in. I have tried other binoculars in the same range and found that Canon 10x30 IS outperforms all of them. The image clarity is excellent. IS works great and reduces eye strain to a great extend. The compact design and the light weight help you to carry the binocular along with your other photography gears and field guides. Only drawback I could find is not having a lens cover for the object lens. Be aware that, this binocular is water resistant, not water proof. Overall a great investment. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good binocular for bird watching and sports.Customer Review: Great Binoculars
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned a pair of these for six years now and have had them work flawlessly for me. I work on tug boats and use them to see the names on ships day/night, as well as other navigational markers. Because of the vibration in the tug boat, ordinary binoculars are tricky at best. Every person who looks through them instantly wants a pair.
I found that focusing while holding the stabilization button down at the same time feels natural. Compared to other binoculars of any price they measure up in clarity.
The only reason I gave them a four star is that I wish they had come with lens caps. And that a HARD case was at least an option.
Customer Review: 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.
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
These binoculars work great! The image stabilization works like a charm, and the optical quality is very sharp and clear. My only beefs are that 1) there are no lens caps for the rear lenses - this seems absurd to me, and 2) the IS button is very small and centered, so you have to hold the binocs a certain way with both hands in order to press the button. Seems that it should have had a much larger button or buttons on the sides.Customer Review: Image Stabilizer Binoculars
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product for the price.
It's tough to hold a 10X binocular steady, but when you hold down the stabilize button it locks on. You can also pan while locked down to track something moving such as wild game or airplanes, etc.
Low light viewing is not so good, but I'm not willing to pay the premium to get that, nor carry the extra weight that would go with larger lenses.
