All adjustments are within reach. While heavy, they can still be used without support. I use them to identify what I want to photograph so I get to carry them with a camera and telephoto lens.

Pros: Quality Lenses; Strong ConstructionThis is a great pair for being on the water you just push a button and the image stops shaking. It is hard to hold anything steady while on a boat. Great for whale and dolphin watching.

Pros: Close Focus; Works Well With Glasses; Quality LensesCons: No objective lens capsSuch a quality(and costly)product shouldn't scimp on details. Having no caps to protect the vulnerable, objective lenses is a careless design deficiency. Having to fashion your oun shouldn't be necessary. Also had to do this with the 10x30s, by the way.

I am a Sierra Club Outings Leader in California. I lead hikes and often provide Naturlist services to those who hike. For years, I used the Canon 10X30 IS Image all weather binocular but really wanted the 15X50. The 15X50 has answered all of my dreams to have a little larger binocular but also a superb range of view. This product is outstanding for birding or whatever you may want a binocular for. I do not recommend it for small frail people though because of its weight.

Youve used ordinary binos and you may be wandering what the fuss is over IS binos wander no longer they are brilliant.You can use them as ordinary binos but press the magic IS button and your view is transformed.You dont realise how much shake affects your viewing untill youve used these quite brilliant.

i got my 15x50is on the 2nd hand market and was proud to hold this technical wonder in my hands. i had a leica 10x50BA before and knew that even a 10x binocular was hard to hold tight and supress shiver. the difference was astonishing as you know yourself. okay, the optical quality of the canon may be a little less than a normal leica perhaps but the gain in handling an visting details without any stress of shiver is tremendous. as interested in this technology i often have to read that the fujinon 14x40 is comparable to the canon or even better (optical). i don`t know what i can believe. there was no chance for me to test the fujinon but i feel that the canon is a damned good stabilizing type of biocular. highly recommended! (5 stars impossible to give because there will always be another better product in universe).

I have just received my Canon 15x50 IS All Weather yesterday so I haven't really used it extensively in order to write a review. But I can tell you this: In the short time that I have tested it, it has impressed me with its IS and image quality.This evening (26th April 2003), I tried it at home to see how it performs in relatively low light (normal home artificial light) by placing myself in my living room, with view to my microwave oven in the kitchen, about 24 feet away. While focusing on the microwave, I could see its brand name, and functions printed on the panel, but it was hard to read them because of image shake - and I didn't drink anything last night! By pressing the IS button, it took a second or so before the image stabilized, and I could clearly and sharply see what was written. I tried then my old compact Royal 7000 8x21 DCF binocular from the same position, and I could hardly see that there was anything written on the microwave panel. Of course, this is not really a fair comparison since the 21mm size front lenses of the Royal can not stand up to the mighty 50mm front lenses of the Canon, which lets a lot more light to pass through the binocular. But this tells a lot about how much you gain with a 15x50 compared with an 8x21 - especially when having IS!There is no doubt that the IS works wonderfully, and it makes binocular viewing much more enjoyable.
