 Written on May 20, 2004 Summary: Great except for rubber eye cups! I love these binoculars -- they do everything they promise and the performance is spectacular. My only complaint is that the rubber eyecups are furiously uncomfortable. I guess I have deep eye-sockets. The eye-relief is much too much which greatly reduces my field of view and I find myself smashing my eyes against the cups. The cups are too large in diamater to fit comfortably against my eyes. If I roll the cups down, the rolled down portion of the cups is very thick and I can't get my nose between the eyepieces... Haven't found any sort of replacement -- may start hacking with scissors soon!  Written on June 7, 2002 Summary: Just one thing to add Actually two things. First, these are incredible. If you haven't tried IS binoculars, run don't walk to to the nearest store. A couple of reviews have noted that the binoculars do not have lens caps for the objective lenses. While this is a drawback, it is easily corrected. The lens casing is threaded, so buy a pair of 58mm UV filters and screw them in. ... The UV filters will protect the lenses and any snap-on lens cover will attach to the UV filters. Written on April 13, 2002 Summary: Get these binoculars... Get these binoculars, if you can afford them. I have looked at, or through, Zeiss and Leicas, and the Canon's are of equal quality. The image stabilization works, period. You can see detail that is NOT possible without IS. Also, the binoculars are very usable without the IS feature, more so than I would have thought. My suggestion, buy the highest magnification that will fit your application, since IS gives the greatest benefit at higher powers. Written on December 24, 2001 Summary: Stabalized image at high power worth the money The optics and general quality are what to expect for binoculars at one third the price. But image stabilization changes everything. At 18X power, conventional hand-held binoculars, even thousand dollar ones, require support; either tripod or at the very least, elbows carefully resting on a car roof or on both knees when sitting on the ground. (The latter two methods rule out skyward viewing or sweeping views). The base is threaded for tripod use, which serves as a reminder of what you would need if you forgot to put in the two AA batteries. The Image Stabilizer feature is fingertip selective, so that fully comparing the IS image with the non-stabilized image is easy in all situations. The stabilization is not perfect, as there is still some need to hold them steady. But the residual image-shake is less than for 6X power unstabilized binocs, and the effect at 18X is very pleasing, even startling -- binocular Image Stabilization is no gimmick. One-handed viewing is nearly as good as with a two handed grip, something out of the question for ordinary binoculars. A limitation of the IS feature is that when attempting sweeping views, or when following moving objects like airplanes, there occurs minor blurring as the system tends to misunderstand the user's deliberate movement as jerkiness. Thus it is necessary to follow objects smoothly. These binoculars came without lens caps for the objective lenses, a remarkable omission since the objective lenses are not well protected in the shallow recess of the encircling frame ridges. Presumably this is to keep bulk to a minimum. The eyepieces have somewhat oversized fold-back rubber cups. While these cups are not ergonomically shaped, as they could be -- bumping the eye brow while still admitting light at the sides -- they fold back for eyeglass wearers, and offer good incidental lense protection when extended. The soft, padded, lightweight nylon carrying case is adiquit, but could use a waist belt loop for easy carrying. (A premium quality hard case would be a nice accessary.) The carrying weight is not bad, feeling about the same as ordinary 50 mm porro prism binoculars.
