I have Parkinson's and I shake too much for regular Binoculars. I love watching wild life, but haven't do so for awhile, because I couldn't use my standard Binoculars. My wife, who uses nothing but Canon products, suggested I try these Binoculars. They are fantastic! I am back to enjoying our wild life trips and Eagle watching. Thank you Canon. I am now saving to purchase the larger IS Binoculars.
I have had these for 6 years, and they are still working great. The price has almost doubled since I bought mine. I also am having a problem with the coating melting away. I don't know if oils in hands or sunscreen have anything to do with it? The bottom line? The image stabilization is spectacular!
Purchased 2 pair of these wonderful glasses. One for me and one for the bride. The IS feature is a must. we do several bird watches and counts for our ornithological society, perfect in all respect. Clear bright spotting even in low light. Stability at its finest. The only problem with my glasses is that the rubber coating seams to be melting off. Contrary to my wives. Her's seem to be in perfect shape. and we use them basically at the same time together.
