I have had the binocs for 5 years and they are just as good as when I first purchased them. I use them for Astronomy mostly, great for meteor showers and locating constellations. The next size up are too much weight and these are the best size!!

I have had a pair of the second generation used for birding, Serengeti and central
Australian safaris and all purpose landscape viewing . Brilliant quick and comfortable. Super quality bright images and the IS functions is a dream for bird and animal detail. They got stolen. So upgrade the the 111 , the current model. Even better . 12x is ideal

I bought the 12x36 IS III for my wife (and me, I guess) before we went to Hawaii (6th trip in 4 years). We were able to see everything much better. I really added to the trip. Seeing the surf boarders up close ... great wipeouts. Bird were great. So glad I got them. Someone had a great idea about pushing the button twice for prolonged (a couple of minutes) viewing. It would make their use even easier. Great product. I haven't used the other Canon IS binocular so I can't compare. They are all very good I would imagine. Check out internet sites and pay through PayPal so you got some kind of insurance you're not going to be 'you know what' over. Also as you know, their digital cameras are great.

I am a camera store owner in Washington DC. Have over time used several Canon IS binoculars and loved every one except for the bulk or weight at times.

Love these binoculars

I don't normally do reviews, but noticed the poor reviews for these binos and had to comment. I have owned these binoculars for 3 years, and, without a doubt, they are the most useful optics that I own. Competing high end models may be sharper, more contrasty, and have less CA, but, with IS, I can see more detail and better identify what I'm looking at than any binoculars that don't have IS. I do not find that the IS button is a hindrance, and those that have problems with the armoring are probably leaving their binoculars in the sun. I am very careful about using them in damp conditions. This is an electronic device that is not waterproofed, so is not something I would use on a boat or in rainy or misty conditions. Also, I wear eyeglasses, and, even though the ER is listed as 14.5 mm, I have no problem using these.

Take away the shake and see amazing detail up close and personal!

I love these things. These have gone with me on every vacation trip, concert and sporting event since they arrived. My grown kids borrow them for the events they are attending. I have shared use with complete strangers at events and alway get that " WOW" reaction while they are using them. My pair are from the generation before I believe so they are about 6 years old. The battery compartment cover did fall off once but was easily DYI repaired with a little super glue. I have contemplated getting a bigger pair for viewing wildlife at longer distances but these serve well 99% of the time. Do yourself a favor and get these.

These binoculars are excellent quality with clear and bright resolution. They surprisingly lightweight (23 oz) for their size and function. Once you use image stabilization - you will not want to go back to regular binoculars!
