Wow! October 7, 2008
I'm not one to write shallow "me too" type reviews, but these binoculars are amazing. As an avid photographer with a quiver of Canon professional lenses (ask me about my Canon HJ40x10B!), I was really happy to see them offer such nice glass with an integrated "image shift" stabilizer.
When I use them, my eyes relax-- which speaks volumes on how well the optics are matched to each side. They have an excellent field-of-view, which accompanies a very low "transmission loss" through the optics. Bright on the outside is bright on the inside.
I look for excuses to use them all the time. :-)

After reading all the other reviews when looking for IS binoculars I decided on these because of the glass, the weight and the field of view. Having now bought a pair I can say they are excellent. Easy to handle, superb optics and the IS function works extremely well. Hand held images look as though I have the binoculars on a tripod - very stable indeed. I would however echo some other comments on the downside - the lens caps at both ends don't fit well at all. The eye piece caps fall off when turned upside down, and the objective lens caps whilst they do stay in place, just, are very fiddly to fit on correctly. I'm buying some skylight filters to protect the lens just in case. That said, an excellent product, and if Canon can solve the lens cap issue for future releases then I'd say these are flawless.

Image stabilizer saved a favorite hobby April 28, 2008
I have been an avid birdwatcher for over twenty years. Recently I have had trouble holding the binoculars still enough due to an inherited tremor and a recently acquired broken arm. I was afraid I would have to give up one of my favorite activities. The Canon image stabilizer binoculars are easy to use and provide a sharp image that does not waver. Thanks Canon for helping me continue a good quality of life.

Cannon 10X42 IS binoculars BIONIC EYES! February 5, 2008
I hesitated to spend this much on something kind of ugly, and when I first opened the box, thought I had made a mistake...until I tried them while at sea. I deep sea fish, and have always had good Zeiss binoculars onboard... but only use them in calm seas; attempts to use otherwise result in cross-eyed vertigo. The new Canon binocs are like having bionic eyes! I not only see distant birds that I never would have seen otherwise, but can actually watch my trolling baits far behind the boat and see how they are running. My Cayman friends all went bonkers when I let them try these beauties out. I am thrilled with this product and getting rid of my treasured Zeiss binocs.
