Very nice for astronomy

Been using the 12x35 IS ii version for astronomy for about 10 years. Usually from a recliner under Bortle 5 or Bortle 3 skies. They’ve been excellent in all respects. Don’t be put off by the size of the objectives. No problems with the case coating but I wash hands with plain soap and water before use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had them for a couple weeks and really like them. Complaints: 1. The eye covers should be one piece instead of 2 and they should be captive. 2. The image stabilization push button should be push and hold for stabilization until it is released AND 2 quick pushes to turn them on for a couple minutes then turn off automatically. This is a very easy software modification.

It turns on automatically and vibrates without reason, Canon didn’t allow my original review but still they don’t honor warranty

Great idea, but........

Was hoping for more. I got them for Christmas and have used them in different settings, hoping that they would improve as I got used to them, but they didn't. I have come to the conclusion that they are not good binoculars. The ability to get a sharp focus is rare, most of the time it's always out of focus. I don't know if it's a quality control problem with the lens, or what. I bought my wife the 10 x 30 IS II, and they are much better. I would find it difficult to recommend them to a friend. I hope the newer models are an improvement over this one, I probably would've asked Santa for an updated model over this one if I knew then what I know now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stabilizer will only work when button is depressed continuously.

I have owned Canon 18 X 50 IS binoculars for several years. The stabilization continues, if the button is pressed once, and does not need to be held down. I wanted lighter binoculars for travel and purchased the 12 X 36 IS binoculars. I was very disappointed that the image stabilizer on the 12 X 36 binoculars will only stay on when the button on top of the unit is continuously depressed. I find that, by having to continuously depress the button in that location, the binoculars are unstable and the stabilizer does not fully correct this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
