8 years 8 months ago #451125 by Dana Leeson
Is the image stabilization system in these binoculars the same that Canon uses in it's camera bodies?

There is an activation button that needs to be depressed, but no other info that I saw. It would stand to reason there would be serious similarities with the Canon lens IS system, no?  They get very good reviews in most cases.....:unsure:

Why so serious?

News to me that Canon even made binoculars.  Now how do these compare to other top binoculars on the market?

As said they are okay, and do get good reviews.  I'd put these towards the middle. If you are looking for top shelf, there are a few others that will cost you more, but also have much better optics.
