 Good performance but unable to handle marine environmentNov 13, 2009
I knew these were not waterproof, but they don't seem to have any water resistance at all. Used them for 2 summers on the boat and the IS system stopped working. They didn't get dunked in water and the optics are fine; just being the salt air apparently was bad enough. And the estimated repair cost (out of warranty) is out of line with their cost.
So will try anther brand since their waterproof version is so much more expensive.
 Bird watching heavenNov 08, 2009
I purchased Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries binoculars for my wife. She has had many pairs of binoculars and now we are in the golden ages of our lives, she found the binoculars she had to be to heavy for walking around in the woods, not really clear and with slight tremors in her hands focusing was becoming an issue. The Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries fit the bill for the perfect binoculars for her to bird watch with. Right after we got the binoculars we went into the woods for several hours and she was thrilled.
Really nice binocsSep 30, 2009
These are great binocs. The image stabilization affects the quality and ability to focus a bit but it works very well.
I like the design very much and the carrying case is good.
I am totally satisfied with my purchase and the delivery

Excellent for Bird Watching on a HikeSep 13, 2009
Yes, they're a little costly, and they aren't so light that you'll forget you've got them hanging from your neck. Also, they won't take abuse; they really resent being dropped, they are afraid of the water, and they don't respond well to being spanked or shaken.
So why might you need them?
1. The optics are extremely good; stick to canon and Nikon, and you'll be okay.
2. The Image Stabilization is effective; it gives you enough of an edge to find feather details etc. that you'd miss without IS. If you have a hard time holding binoculars steady enough, this edge will be worth double.
3. The Canon guarantee is long-lasting and, in my experience, Canon service is prompt and thorough. I do note that a couple of one-star reviewers would beg to differ.
These are probably the cheapest IS binoculars that are worth considering. Otherwise, choose your binos by some other criterion, but stay away from Bushnell and don't expect great optics from ultra-cheapos.
Light, bright, super image and well doneSep 12, 2009
Work great on land and even on moving boat. Good crisp image, stabilization works great and weight is about perfect for the size.
Only shame is that for a pair of not so cheap binoculars a lens cloth isn't included. Not a big deal but sort of wimpy.
