OUTSTANDING 10 x 30 IS II BINOCULARS

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.

Great Binoculars

I bought my Canon IS 10X30’s way back in about 2007, I still have them and they still function perfectly. I use mine mainly for quick on the go astronomy. I store mine in soft case and as added protection, in a camera case. I love them! Great vista views. Good optics and comfortable to hold.
As for the rubber binocular body going ‘sticky’, mine started to recently. I just cleaned mine with rubbing alcohol and it goes.
I would highly recommend these binoculars.

Manufacturing Defect

I have had these binoculars for a few years. Excellent binoculars but after a couple of years, the rubber exterior of the body of the binoculars became very sticky is now disgusting to hold!. The rubber compound used was not properly vulcanized and is now breaking down.

WARNING: not water resistant
on November 16, 2020
Posted by: Marlonspike

Binoculars work fine unless they get damp. Then the electronics short out and the stabilization stops working. Slow support and very expensive to repair. Not for use on boats or anywhere near water. Save your money and buy Steiners.

Stopped working after about four years VERY expensive repair
on June 9, 2021

They are fantastic while they work, but then one day, out of the blue, they will stop working properly. Then, you have to wrangle your way through Canon's repair web interface, which is sloppy and doesn't provide helpful feedback. It's a confusing and frustrating procedure accompanied by an egregious repair bill. I've been had! Never again, Canon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The outer rubber coating is sticky and gets all over you
on March 29, 2023
Posted by: slausa
from Springdale, AR
The binoculars were bought to use at football games and they worked great until after a year or two the exterior coating started to deteriorate and become very gooey and sticky. It's much like how the adhesive on electrical tape can be sticky and get on your fingers, except much much worse. It is an obvious defect and should be replaced by Canon. Mine were always kept indoors in the case in a heated and cooled space. If the company should issue a recall and exchange them to help preserve their reputation.

IS 10 X 30 binoculars STICKY!
on February 10, 2023
Posted by: RMT
from Fort Worth, TX
I've had these 8 or 9 years. A few years ago the outside "rubber" coating started getting sticky. They're great binoculars with no Canon support or solution to the coating problem. I'm very disappointed in Canon and will not replace them with a Canon product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
