Canon 12x36 IS II - Image Stabilized Binoculars

1 - Image Stabilization - As mentioned above, this is one feature you must have with a high powered pair of binoculars. Look at the difference in these two pictures, one has the IS on and one is off. Which view would you rather be seeing? All it takes is the push of a button and in seconds your image will become crystal clear and shake-free.

2 - High Magnification - You have a 12x magnification with the Canon 12x36 IS II! This means that if you are trying to view an object that is 100 yards away, the object will appear to be about 8 yards away. That is pretty awesome.

3 - Lens Size - The lens size is 36mm diameter. The larger diameter lens, the more light that can filter in, which gives you brighter, clearer viewing. It also lets you view in lower light.

Review #1
These are good field glasses; then when you are focused, and push the stabilizing button - they become great! It takes maybe a second and a half, and the object in focus becomes yours. It's like you own it. Steady, hand held and no shaking or blur - at 12 times magnification! Quite extraordinary. If you can't afford them, hope that your children can buy them for you as a gift. I'm blessed, mine did and birding just got way better.

Review #2
The Canon IS 12x36 binoculars take binocular viewing to a wholly different plane. Image improvement is similar to viewing HDTV vrs old analog TV. The optics of these binoculars are beautiful, multi-coated and distortion free. The instrument fits beautifully in my hands, with weight and balance perfect for observing. The focus knob is deft and sensitive and there is a small notch in the bottom of the barrels where my thumbs fit perfectly. And then, when the IS button is pressed, the image steadies and almost pulls your eyes into the scene. I have used these binoculars at a political rally, where from 100 yards away, I could clearly read the name tags on the chairs of the dignitaries. I have also used them for birding and wildlife. Birds in a distant tree jumped into focus with bright colors and crisp resolution. The same excellent results were seen with wild animals. Truly it is a treat to use this magnificent instrument.
