Like many people interested in image stabilization binoculars, I did my due diligence. I investigated binoculars by Canon, Fujinon, Nikon, and multiple brands that were stratospherically price. The biggest concern of the biggest dilemma was deciding magnification and cost benefit to myself. I did fall in love with the 10 x 42 by Canon. Everyone was in love with the optics. Everyone felt the image stabilization was awesome. And, after reading multiple reviews from multiple sites, people who it owned the 12 x 36 Canon binoculars and the 10 x 42, were equally split among the benefits of each. Some people noted that having traded up to the 10 x 42, they wish they had maintained and kept the lighter weight ones which were more portable. Others clearly fell in love with the superior optics of the 10 x 42. From all my research, I could find no significant advantage of the Nikon or the Fujinon. Although the Fuji binoculars had much better image stabilization for the rough seas, there was no apparent benefit for simple general use such as outdoor birdwatching. The image stabilization in the Fujinon-was aimed for the rough seas and significant motion. Considering the weight, the Canon binoculars in the 10 x 42 size were both weighty and somewhat cumbersome. Additionally, the price was almost double that of the 12 x 36. I was looking for something that had a fairly high magnification and a decent field-of-view. I realize that the 10 x 42 does have a better field-of-view but I was certainly willing to live with the 12 x 36 Concerning the exit pupil and I relief, at 65 eyewear progressive lenses and have a slight astigmatism. I have no trouble with these glasses. I do fold the eye cups back in order to get a better field-of-view. However, even with the eye cups in their normal position, I can see through these binoculars easily. They focus without an issue and I have no trouble with the eye cups. The use of the stabilization button is intuitive and easy. The size is comfortable and the weight is excellent. Current pricing was approximately one half the price of the Canon 10 x 42. From my aspect, the choice of these binoculars was easy. I'm very pleased with my choice and do not regret it. If you're looking for lens covers for the end caps, I purchased these.

When I started looking for image stabilized binoculars I noticed many were expensive and also large and relatively heavy, making them cumbersome to use on a hike. Then I saw THESE binoculars. The Canon 12x36 IS III. Not only were they smaller than most and hundreds of dollars less expensive, but the reviews were EXCELLENT. I thought, was this too good to be true? I bought them to find out. Well, I can tell you that it's ALL true. The optics are sharp and the image stabilization is amazing. They feel good in your hands and I'm always amazed when I've focused in on a subject and push the button, how sudenly it's like the binoculars are on a tripod. The only negatives I can think of are that I wish the two caps for the eyepiece lenses were teathered to the binoculars as, knowing me, I'll probably lose one, and there are NO caps for the bigger objective lenses. Also, you DO have to hold down the button the entire time you're using the stabiliazation. It would have been nice to have them on a 30 second timer or something, but these are small netatives compared to the price and quality of these binoculars. If you're in the market for binoculars like these, unless you are made out of money or prefer the extra weight of other models, I can't think of why you wouldn't at least consider the Canon IS Stabilization III.

In 2006 I purchased a pair of Canon’s 10 X 30 IS binoculars and was reasonably pleased with them (although I sold them to an uncle around the year 2010). My only complaint with those binoculars was the periodically apparent, faint black edges in the field of view during daytime viewing. (I’m not sure if this was common with early production runs of Canon’s 10 x 30 IS binoculars, or just an idiosyncrasy with the pair that I owned). Beginning around 2011, I started eyeing Canon’s more powerful 12 X 36 Image Stabilization binoculars—especially with Canon’s release of their improved “IS III” version over the “IS II” in 2015. (I had long-ago ruled out Canon’s 15 X 50 IS All Weather and 18 X 50 IS All Weather binoculars primarily because of their uncomfortable eyepieces, bulky size, and over-the-top weight for extended viewing. Their higher prices didn’t help either). Since I did not have $729.00 “burning a hole” in my pocket (much less the $849.00 retail asked by some retailers), I had given this purchase much trepidation. Well, last week I finally decided to take the plunge, figuring that if they didn’t blow me away I could always return them. Well, let me tell you, these things are AWESOME!!! YEEHAW!!! They are SURPRISINGLY more powerful than Canon’s 10 x 30 IS binoculars. Given the stark difference, I would have guessed them to have a magnification closer to 15 X—and the field of view is a crystal-clear, perfect circle with absolutely no black edges or halo! One look through them and I know my uncle is going to be highly jealous. Although these binoculars would certainly be fantastic for bird watching, landscape surveying, and nature viewing in general, I primarily acquired these for viewing celestial objects since I don’t like bulky, expensive telescopes with single eyepieces, a tiny field of view, and no image stabilization. The real field of view is 5° for the 12 X 36 IS III, which is just a hair shy of the 6° real field of view for the 10 X 30 IS II—and so still covers a patch of sky large enough to see the entire Pleiades open star cluster which vies for your attention like diamonds scattered on black velvet. Curiously, the dimensions for the two binoculars are exactly the same for width and depth (5.0” and 2.8” respectively), although the 12 X 36 IS III stands exactly 1.0” taller (at 6.9” versus 5.9”). Exit pupil diameter and eye relief are also identical for both models (standing at 3mm and 14.5 mm respectively). In a final comparison, the 12 X 36 IS III does outweigh the 10 X 30 IS II by a smidgen, weighing in at 23.3 ounces versus 21.2 ounces. Interestingly, because the two binoculars have an identical width and depth—with a nearly identical weight—they feel almost indistinguishable in the hands. As far as the gooey problems with the rubber coating reported by some, the finish on my pair is flawless and feels great—and I don’t plan to allow them to get wet or leave them “baking” under the sun in a hot car all day to find out if any problem precipitates. I always like to read a product’s Owner’s Manual or included instruction booklet from front to back, and I noticed that Canon actually warns about this in their instruction booklet on page ENG-3: where they caution: “High temperatures can cause the binoculars to malfunction. Therefore, do not store them close to a heater or in a car under direct sunlight.” Amusingly, they also state on page ENG-11: “If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipmet [sic].” Apparently, somebody forgot to employ the “Spell Check” feature on their word editing program. In essence, as far as the finish is concerned, treat these binoculars like the piece of gold they are and you should not have any problem with it. In summary, Canon’s 12 X 36 IS III (and I will even venture to say their improved 10 X 30 IS II) binoculars are highly recommended—even for those who have been forever straddling the fence as I once was.

Canon should be ashamed of themselves, selling nice, very useful binoculars with a useless case and no objective lens covers. The eye lens covers are individual caps with the potential for loss for these reasons they get a 4 star, more like a 3.5, but that’s not an option. The binoculars themselves are wonderful for people with shaky hands or on moving platforms such as any type of moving vehicle. The binoculars are excellent for wildlife viewing with one constraint, the object being viewed must be at least 25’ or more away. I have worked a few upgrades due to the use these binoculars are getting, things CANON should have included for the price. I used a small leather strap and some snaps from the wife’s sewing drawer to connect the eye caps together and to the neck strap. I purchased Butler creek scope caps for the objective lens that do not require removal to use and lastly purchased the Aproca hard case to replace the included useless soft case. With the said upgrades, we now can fully enjoy the amazing stabilization and clear view these binoculars deliver, whether viewing birds, sports or any thing in motion, they have become our go to.

I've been wanting a set of stabilized binoculars for a while. A buddy of mine had the sig stabilized binoculars and those are fantastic with a high price to match. I bought the canon's thinking I would try them out and return if unhappy but will definitely be keeping them. At roughly half the price they perform nearly as well as the sig's (isg is a bit more stable, I like the eypieces better) but cost a lot less. Very happy with the Canon 12x36 overall. Only two minor quibbles, one it would be nice to have a constant on option instead of having to hold the button down. Two I'm annoyed Canon didn't include objective lens covers. Stealth birding 57.5-59.4mm lens covers are just the right fit (that product also on amazon) and no issues with them fitting into the canon provided case.

Purchased these for my wife. They are small/light enough for her to comfortably hold and easily focus. At 12x power, image stabilization is a game changer. It removes the shake that would otherwise make her dizzy. Battery life is great. We do remove the batteries when not in use to avoid a leaking corrosion disaster. I do worry some about the rubberized coating durability others have criticized, but these are holding up fine so far.

Excellent binoculars. Clear and easy to understand instructions. The stabilization feature works extremely well. Without the stabilization, you get a nice clear, distant look and when you hit the stabilization now you have a steady look. Highly recommend recommended binoculars.

I have just received the Canon 12X36 binoculars today and, so far, I really like them. I have read a lot of Canon reviews and have noticed that many people do not know how to adjust binoculars. Here is a quick way to adjust them. First, adjust the width of the binoculars as you are looking through the binoculars with both eyes. Adjust the width until you only see one hole in your field of view. Now close your right eye and use the center focus wheel to adjust the focus for your left eye. Now close your left eye and focus the individual eye piece for your right eye. Now open both eyes and adjust the center focus with both eyes open. Now, again, adjust the width of your binoculars to make sure you are only seeing one hole through your field of view with both eyes open. if after trying time after time to see one hole and you keep seeing two holes and it makes your eyes slightly cross, send them back. You have defective binoculars. Rick PS I must say that Image Stabilizing binoculars are the wave of the future. Most people are satisfied without IS binoculars and the 8X42mm binocular is good for birders, but for bird watching a 6X30 has less shake. I am 75 years old and, probably, I have more shake. The Canon10X30II are superb binoculars. I know, I have read about the outer rubber turning into mush, but I wonder why only a few customers have this complaint. Quality Control must be the case. I have tried the Nikon 8X42 binoculars and I am so impressed with the clarity and brightness,and they are water and dust proof, but comparing them against a IS binocular there is just no contest for older dudes like me, one just cannot compare such a difference in the shake. Sure, they are not waterproof and you had better handle all binoculars with kid gloves or you are going to have trouble with any binoculars. If it rains have a quart plastic zip-lock bag and put them in the case and then in the zip-lock bag. I am a backyard enthusiast not a rugged hunter. If you are a hunter with bombastic enthusiasm and throw your equipment in the back seat of a truck, then if you want a Canon Image Stabilized binoculars that is water proof and dust proof, they are out there for a price, but the price goes way up. The 10X42 Canon is $1200 and if you get them dirty you can dunk them in a bucket of water with no worse for wear. If one has bought the 10X30IIs and the rubber starts pealing off. Have a little ingenuity about you and take some alcohol with rubber gloves, a wash rag and get some Q'Tips and rub them down very carefully until the rubber comes off the entire binocular. No, I have not done that before. One drop of alcohol on the lens and the lens may be ruined. If you send them back to Canon I am betting that it will cost you as much as a new pair of binoculars to have them repaired. I am wondering if a little rubber rubbing off would bother me that much, but having blackened fingers and palms every time i looked at a bird through my Canon binoculars would aggravate the most patient of birders I think. If it did I would not ever buy another pair of Canon binoculars. Wish me luck. Good luck and remember, do not take my word on it and do your own research. Remember you have 30 days when you buy from Amazon to return them if you are not satisfied. As far as the rubber coming off of a pair of binoculars in a year or two, I am still trying to wrap my mind around those stories and if this is true I hope Canon reimburses the customer. Pull up Gary Seronik. com and read his reviews. He has something to do with the magazine Sky and Scope Magazine I think. happy birding and happy hunting, Rick
