Unbelievable Detail

I have used my Canon binoculars for a little over two months now. I agree with other reviewers that the eyecups should be reconsidered but if you roll down the eyecups there is no issue unless you need to wear glasses with the binoculars. With that said, I use the binoculars for birding and find that the details I now see due to stabilization far outweighs the eyecup issue. I have found bird identification has become much easier. I found that when I am tracking a bird in flight the normal IS setting works better than the powered IS setting. The powered IS setting is better for stationary objects. Overall these are the best binoculars I have ever owned and I am comparing them to high end birding binoculars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs re-design of eye cups.

This is the 2nd IS Canon binoculars I've purchased. They deliver a good close-up of far away items, but need some changes. Firstly, the eye cups, if not rolled down, severely limit the field of vision to a very narrow range. In order to widen the field of vision, roll down the eye cups, and the view widens considerably. Secondly, I used the Power IS, and could not see any difference between it, and regular IS. I was looking for a WOW moment, and it never arrived. My first-gen Canon IS's are much easier to use with eye cups that don't hinder field of vision.Canon engineers need to re-design the eye cups. I would not have purchased this IS if I knew the eyecups hindered field of vision.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
