Canon CAN1001 15 x 50 Image Stabilising All Weather Binoculars, Black

Product Information

I have also used a pair of Russian made image stabilised binos and they gave me the impression that the floor was falling away under me.

The slight image vibration which I described earlier in this thread has proved to be rather insignificant, and I am seeing fantastic things under dark skies. That one also worked flawlessly with lithium batteries, but struggled with rechargeables and was a bit iffy with its supplied alkaline batteries, which had been inside this demo model for a while. Has anyone used the Canon IS 15x50 binocular as a high magnification binocular for medium and long distance? maybe an invidual one from Nikon, Hasselblad, Zeiss-Ikon,etc, may be slightly better for a given focal length, but as a full line, they seem to be the tops (and real trendsetters as well). I have used (use) Swarovski, Zeiss, Leica and Nikon (E series) binoculars, which are known to have some of the finest optics/mechanics in the world.The number of tests depends on the individual product but we are confident in this product having tested all the major functions. Why can't Canon just supply these binoculars with a custom designed battery and charger that can be wholly relied upon, like the one that came with my Panasonic Lumix camera? Eye relief refers to the distance between the eyepiece and the observer's eye, which determines the comfortable viewing distance.

Where the binos really shined was on the large Cr clusters such as Cr121, Cr132, Cr140, Cr135, Cr70, Cr69, and Hyades. I would say that the IS 15x50 are more suited for advanced users with experience of holding steady none-stabilized binoculars of similar size. Offering superb quality, with 15 times magnification, high power and Canon precision optics featuring an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens element to reduce chromatic aberration and the Super Spectra lens coating that delivers vivid, high contrast view with accurate colours. Dark limbs against a bright background do not show horrible purple fringes, nor does white guttering in direct sunlight bloom into a purplish/yellow haze.A month or so ago a friend who owns a new pair of the 10x42 IS L took his unit back for service because he was bothered by "jerkiness" in the image. apparent wide field of view with clear, flat, low distortion from edge to edge thanks to the porro II prism optics and doublet field flattener element. She was especially pleased with the performance observing gulls and ducks on the Central Park reservoir, a roughly circular water about a half mile across. Similar to my pair except the vibration sequence occurs much more frequently -- every second or two.
