Canon CAN1001 15 x 50 Image Stabilising All Weather Binoculars, Black

Product Information

The 15x50 IS AW (Image Stabilized All Weather) is unique among the finest high-magnification binoculars because they incorporate Canon's remarkable Optical Image Stabilizer technology. Excellent – The equipment should be close to being ‘Like New’ but there may be some small cosmetic blemishes that lower its grade. Furthermore they offer a wide field of view with clear, flat, low distortion from edge to edge thanks to the porro II prism optics and doublet field flattener element.

This "crime" is on par with Kowa's stubbornness in sticking with very poor/uncomfortable eyecups on their premium Kowa Highlander Prominar BT despite having much more comfortable replacement eyecups.Doubles are a different story, trying to resolve two close stars doing poi dance is somewhat painful. NiMH batteries are much better, but if you don't mind using disposable batteries, lithium cells work best of all. I feel that 8x20, 10x20 and 8x25 are mostly suitable for daytime observing, so I will not include those into consideration. For value you can only really compare to equivalent bino's with mount and tripod, and even then the hassle factor must be considered.

correction angle easily compensates for the common hand-shake that can make viewing through binoculars of this magnification difficult or disorientating. SpaceBass: Thanks for the link - it looks interesting and if it were made from carbon fibre could be a useful lightweight alternative to a 'pod especially for travel to remote places.

Welcome to BirdForum, the internet's largest birding community with thousands of members from all over the world. Fitted with their proprietary Vari-Angle prism electronic image stabilization system, the Canon 15x50 IS All-Weather Image Stabilized Binoculars are an ideal optic for bird and nature watching, marine use, or astronomical use. The quick application form is simple and should take no more than a couple of minutes to complete and you will receive a decision instantly. Of course they are the brightest with their 60mm objective lenses and arguably also the sharpest of the three.

When you think about binoculars the quality of the optics is always paramount, however regardless of the optical quality if you can’t hold the binocular steady the image quality will suffer. The 15x50 binos have a tough, all weather design that is certified to JIS 4, meaning that they will keep you going during use in challenging environmental conditions.That was because the focus action is light enough that the objective lens system, which moves when focusing, would creep slightly outwards, towards near focus, while the binoculars hang on your chest. Deko’s secure technology helps put you in touch with lenders whose finance options are best suited for you and your purchase. I have also used a pair of Russian made image stabilised binos and they gave me the impression that the floor was falling away under me.
