Faulty rubber coating.
on July 27, 2023
Posted by: Mcsc551
I bought this 10x42 IS in US about 5 years ago. The image & IS works great. Unfortunately, as others have complained that the rubber coating became sticky & started to melt off on your hands. It resulted in a very unpleasant experience when using it. I currently put talcum power to prevent the stickiness. But it is not a solution by any means. I would not recommend this product. Canon should use the same coating on their binoculars as on their L lense in my opinion.

Needed for Hunting
on August 29, 2023

Although heavy, this has been a game changer for me for hunting. I no longer carry a spotting scope. I could easily pick up game over a mile away, confirmed with a range finder, and tell if it was a buck or not. Though it’s heavier than equivalent 10x42s the stabilization changes everything and makes it worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have to return binoculars to Canon. The focus knob is too stiff to turn; by the time I'm focused, the bird is gone.

IS is very helpful. Good bye to tremor.

Have two friends with severe tremors, one with head the other with hands. Both are keen naturalists. IS in their Canon Cameras work swell, but they had lost or were losing the ability to use binoculars. I referred both to the binocular. It gave both good steady viewing.
Yes this binocular is bigger, heavier, and not as close focusing as the top of the line premium binocs but it is STEADY. The IS mechanism is the magic feature. You can have very light or very steady. You can't have both.

We just got our new Canon binoculars. We have them all set-up and the neck cords attached. So far they are excellent. Bright and image stabilization is nice.
Now we need to use them for a while to ensure their quality will stand up to reasonable use around the salt water.
