Canon 12x36 IS III Compact Lightweight Travel Binoculars - Powerful 12x long distance binoculars with Image Stabilizer, ideal for bird watching, travel and sports

Although expensive these are good value. Optical quality is very good with only minor colour fringing on very high contrast edges. Stabilisation is brilliant especially for people who don't have steady hands - allows you to see so much more detail. The only slight negative is the lack of object lens covers which I purchased separately. Used them for star planet and moon gazing but really bought them for a safari. They excelled at everything.

I have purchased several binoculars over the years including Zeiss. All are difficult to use. And the more powerful ones virtually useless due to shake. After reading some reviews i settled for these, a compromise between magnification and size. The very first time i used these for bird watching in my garden i focused and pressed the button and was shocked how after e few seconds everything became clear and steady. The first truly usable binoculars. The 12 x was a perfect choice as it hits the sweet spot between real life performance power and size. I have never used binoculars this much simply because they deliver. The light gathering is good, image very clear and sharp. It would have been nice if they incorporated lens cover and better eye cup covers, there is very slight colour fringing in bright light but these are minor issues. I am very pleased with the purchase and i would strongly recommend them.

Just a quality binoLovely images and the IS is fantasticexpensive but super

The slightest touch of the stabilising button and all becomes clear! Well made, although I hope the rubber coating will not go sticky after 10 years or so. For the price, the cost-cutting bag for holding them is a tight squeeze with the strap attached, and as for the cheap and nasty thin eye covers that aren’t even joined together…. Say no more!I would have given 5 stars if they has spent a couple of pence more on peripherals.

These binoculars are just amazing. The image stabilizing is beyond amazing. The sharpness and clarity of the image is fantastic. Great for nature and stargazing. I have watched so many passing satellites and space detritus sailing across the dark skies these past few weeks. Choose any dark part of the sky, look through these and press the magic button and suddenly there's a wealth of light that you just can't see with the naked eye. Yes, it's a lot of money for a pair of bins, but for me they're worth every penny.

Good for the weight but nothing like as good proper stabilisated binoculars.

These binoculars, although expensive, really help to view distant subjects. You can see much more detail when you stop most of the judder. Quite good tech to be honest. I wish they were waterproof though.

Love them. And the image stabiliser is brilliant. Also was able to view the moon on occasions. Really happy with these binoculars. Can’t compare to cheaper brands as these were recommended by a friend. Use them for bird and wildlife. Very good at finding subject with the binoculars. I like the fact that case is very light. NB opt for security wrapping - shocked that the lid was not even stuck down! Luckily nothing was missing or had been tampered with.
