Outer Coating Sticky and Nasty
on July 24, 2023
Posted by: Tbird
from Missoula Montana
Got these binos for my wife, she loves the IS option. after several year the outer coating became soft and sticky and is really nasty. If you put them down everything sticks to them and impossible to clean. Trying to navigate Canon's website for assistance is nearly impossible. Noticed a lot of others voicing the same concern.
Do not purchase these 10X30 IS Bino's
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Buyer Beware

As with most CANNON Products I’ve had over many decades, these initially functioned very well. But a “faulty outer-coating” on my 10x30 IS Binocs (has deteriorated over time into a sticky gooey mess) which has rendered them unusable. At the price of these, I think ONE STAR is being VERY GENEROUS.

The image stabilization is a winner!

I've had the original version for some 12 to 15 years and still really like these! I have friends with much more expensive binoculars and they may be sharper but the IS more than makes up for it! Only negative is it's easy to knock off the rubber eye cups.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The outer rubber coating is sticky and gets all over you
on March 29, 2023

The binoculars were bought to use at football games and they worked great until after a year or two the exterior coating started to deteriorate and become very gooey and sticky. It's much like how the adhesive on electrical tape can be sticky and get on your fingers, except much much worse. It is an obvious defect and should be replaced by Canon. Mine were always kept indoors in the case in a heated and cooled space. If the company should issue a recall and exchange them to help preserve their reputation.

IS 10 X 30 binoculars STICKY!
on February 10, 2023

I've had these 8 or 9 years. A few years ago the outside "rubber" coating started getting sticky. They're great binoculars with no Canon support or solution to the coating problem. I'm very disappointed in Canon and will not replace them with a Canon product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
