Review: I've couple of binoculars in the past but this one is another level. Long range view is incredibly Sharp and stable. They are not cheap but you get very good quality for your money. Go for it!

Review: Mine arrived only today, so I can only give a brief first impression. Which is that they are very good indeed. I have poor mobility now and can mostly only watch birds from my windows. Using my scope on a tripod is just not practicable, so high powered bins was the only way of getting a larger image. My birding bins are Swarovski top of the range 10x42 SVs, with a pair of Zeiss Conquest 8x32 HDs for when I do get out in the field and need lighter weight, or when I want a wider field of view. So the Canons face stiff competition in terms of image quality.. The Canons give a less bright image than my other bins, which is inevitable given the small exit pupil diameter, but brightness is still not at all bad. The sharpness is very good: perhaps a touch less sharp than my Swaro or Zeiss. but more detail is visible because of the larger and steadier image. Maybe there's a slight yellowish colour cast, but you quickly cease to notice it. The image stabiliser is VERY impressive, and as effective as that of my Canon 100-400mm Mk2 camera lens. In fact, I can get a steadier image than with my Swaro 10x42s. My hands are less able to keep bins steady as I approach 70, so this is very much appreciated. They are heavy and I wouldn't want them around my neck for hours on end, but they'll be fine when exploring the wide vista viewable from my flat. The only reasons for not giving 5 stars are (1) the field of view is quite restricted, though again that would be because of physical restraints imposed by an instrument of this kind, and (2) there's some noticeable chromatic aberration in the outer part of the image; however, the centre part of the image is fine. All in all, an excellent piece of kit.
