About this deal

but even with the IS off the Canons did well, finding all the Messier objects I’d expect to find with 12x50s. But with IS While this makes it suited to everyday use, it’s not only the built-in image stabilization – as also used in Canon EF lenses for its camera range – that provides us with a sharp and clear view, but also a Super Spectra Coating to the glass. Just as an aside, I never compare the stabilisation or my binoculars focus hold mounted because I don’t use them mounted. I've read many criticism regarding the eyecups, and I agree that they're not the best parts of the binoculars. It must be said that, at least in my case, I can see the entire FOV without much problem (I don't wear spectacles). I would have preferred a more contemporary multiple-step twist-up design that allowed the viewer to achieve his or her perfect viewing position.

If you are a Wedding Album Designer or do you have a Photo Studio Workshop then PSD files that are published here, which you can use for creating 12X36 sizes of album designs such as Wedding Album Design, Karizma Album Design, Photo Album Design, Marriage Album Design, Shadi Album Design, Canvera Album Design, Engagement Album Design, and Etc.

My comments of the 12X36 IS III are as follows, in some ways similar,but also with a somewhat different take. Marrying a generous 12x magnification to a respectable 36mm sized objective lens, Canon’s middle-of-range image stabilized Porro prism binocular purports to offer a clear, flat view from edge to edge, while being ideally suited to bird watchers and sports fans. The binoculars are covered with matt rubber armour which gives a secure grip and offers some protection in normal use. They move smoothly, with enough resistance to ensure that they will not accidentally slip once they have been set. Thank you all for all your kind help, may I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.

But I still deal with focus shifting for maybe 5 - 10 seconds. Optically, they are no match for my Nikon Monarch 7 8x30's in terms of crispness and contrast. BUT... that stabilization is something else. Despite the inferior optics, I can see SO much more fine detail. And the Moon... it just looks like it's hanging in the sky. Pretty amazing. Eagle Optics also has different types of rainguards for your oculars. Again measure to see what size you need. I prefer these. The somewhat surreal result of trying to fool the image stabilisation system was a perfectly steady view surrounded by shaking binoculars. The CR123A battery that powers the IS feature here is good for up to 12 hours of use but needs to be bought separately. And then there’s the overall price. Yes, we may pay a premium over non ‘IS’ binos with the same core level of specification, but this is the entry-level option in its manufacturer’s lineup and a good starter option nonetheless. How we test IS Binoculars Rectilinear Distortion: classic pincushion more noticeable in the 10x. Telegraph poles at the edge of frame bow in. A design choice to avoid rolling ball/globe effect and aid static target recognition. Pre-WWII binoculars and classic designs like the Nikon 18x70 with no pincushion become very busy when you pan blurring finer details.

Product Specification

This might sound daft, but to me how you can carry a pair of binoculars is a pretty relevant thing. For example, if I can fit them in my favourite case (from a 8x30 Monarch 7) it means I can comfortably carry them on my belt, which has the added benefit that I'll be grabbing them more often, even if I'm not going "serioiusly" birding, but just out for something like walking the dog. Levels of CA that make watching birds on a bright sky a pain (a 300 € contemporary roof with ED does better than this)

The 10x30 pass this test (it is a snug fit, but it succeeds at it), which I really like, I find it so convenient, seriously. So, both in terms of "grabbability" and portability I can see the 10x30 IS II becoming my main (even only) pair. The only caveat is the rain (because neither of these Canon are waterproof), but then I live in the island of Ibiza, and we don't get a lot of rain here (maybe that's one of the reasons 42 mm binoculars don't appeal to me either; it is usually very bright here and dawn/twilight are brief periods where a x32 gives you basically 95 % of what you'll ever need in terms of brightness). Enjoy high quality performance, low cost prints and ultimate convenience with the PIXMA G series of refillable ink tank printers. Build quality: the 12x feel somewhat lightweight at just over 600g. The 10x24 L are hefty at almost twice that. The 10x42 are waterproof to JIS level 7 which means they can be submerged. Looking at the skimpy seal on the battery door of the 12x36 take care, I would call them shower proof.

12x36 IS III

A question for any Canon IS user, if you don't mind me asking: do you use glasses while using the binoculars? I'm trying to get used to these but during the day the using comfort is soooooo poor, really appalling, it makes using them a bit of a pain which spoils the view or any optical advantage these might provide. When we observed the Moon and Jupiter (or held them just outside the field of view) there were no spurious ghost images, so the coatings are certainly fit for purpose. I had an itch to upgrade and recently found out out about the new trio of binos 10,12,14 X32 from Canon. Was very hesitant buying the 14X32 because of the small exit pupil. Just got the 14X32 few days ago and had an opportunity to spend some time using it on a bright sunny day.
