Customer Review: Lee
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never owned or even held a pair of high-end binoculars before; but with two major upcoming vacations (Alaska and Vietnam) I decided to entertain the possibility of investing in a pair. Once I narrowed my choice to the Canon 10X30, I bit the financial bullet, and ordered two pairs. I received them from Amazon.com within a few days. It took all of five minutes or so to load the batteries, attach the strap, and adjust the lenses to my visual field. When I began to look through the lenses and the IS activated (after about 6 seconds on the first try)....the images were simply "AMAZING". It sounds cliché ....but truly words cannot describe the viewing delights that this instrument offers. Well worth the extra bucks I so reluctantly paid for them. I really look forward to using them on my upcoming trips.Customer Review: Canon brings a true revolution in binoculars!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although expensive, my experience trying the 10x30 with Image Stabilizer from Canon in a store was unbelievableAt the push of a button the image was rock steady allowing to finally see near diffraction-limited details, this in my hands! I could read signs at the other end of the room. I never thought IS correction could be so effective. And optics are great anyway, even with no IS.
I give it a 5 star (even if the 10X is a bit week, a zoom module would help, and there is no dig camera inside!).
This binocular or rather technology is definitely a revolution, like color TV was to black and white TV. Forget about your other binoculars (unless they are IS too)!
Note: Are they going to install the same technology on a conference laser pointer so even after a cup of coffee the spot is rock steady?
Customer Review: 10x binoculars that will amaze you!

I've owned a pair of Leica 10x binoculars and have always been very happy with their superb optics and excellent quality. My only problem was that at 10x magnification, I was unable to keep them perfectly steady when viewing something - a problem I figured I'd just have to live with. Then I was in my local camera shop and saw a pair of Canon 10x30IS binoculars on display. I thought I'd try them just to see how close they came to my Leica's in optical quality. Boy, was I surprised! Not only were the optics very good, but with the image stabilization turned on they blew my Leica 10x away! I could see so much more detail, with less eye strain and in a lightweight package. I bought them on the spot, and sold my Leica 10x to a friend - the Canon 10x30IS is my one and only choice for a 10x binocular now!Customer Review: Very pleased

I wanted to buy a pair of binoculars for my husband, thinking he might begin the astronmy hobby he has often mentioned. First I bought a pair of Nikon 10x50s...mistake. They were too heavy...I couldn't hold them steady and looking at the sky was pointless through the unsteady gaze. I returned them immediately, bit the price bullet, and bought these. We both love them. Haven't used them for the stars yet, but brought them to an Ironman race and could watch my sister swimming in the race...unbelievable. My dad had his favorite automatic focus binoculars at the race, but our Canon was still better. Crisp, clear, beautiful, and the stabilization changes the entire experience. If you can afford them, buy them and you will not regret it. Makes details pop like never before.Customer Review: Excellence in Action
Summary: 5 Stars
I had my eye on these binoculars for months now. When I saw them on sale at Amazon, I jumped. Amazon was only about $150.00 cheaper than a store I was planning to buy at. When they came, I couldn't believe how well the Image Stabilizer works. I remember my Dad's Binoculars as a kid. Man! Did the image look shakey! With Canon's I.S. technology, with a push of a well located button, the image stabilizes perfectly! These are great for watching wild life, birds, boats or in your neighbor's window (just kidding). I like them so much, I am saving up money now to buy the next higher up magnification for more intense bird wathcing at greater distances. I would highly recommend these sturdy, well engineered binoculars to anyone. They are EASILY worth every penny.
