Cannon 18x50 binocularsJun 14, 2010 Work well. Distance to closest focus point is further that I would like. Binnoculars are more expensive that I would like. They are easy to use and work well, Image stabilization is great!
Image is sharp
Best binocular I have ever ownedMay 31, 2010 The Canon 18 X 50 image stabilizer binocular is the eassiest binocular I have ever used, The stabilizer is also the industry best and gives the user a clear view of whatever is be locked at with out wory over shakes at the eye level
Canon 18x50 Image Stabilized BinocularsMay 17, 2010 This is the second set I have purchased for marine use. Outstanding product and performance.
Stabilization MattersDec 28, 2009 The stabilization of the view is mind blowing.
I was a bit concerned about spending this much money on a pair of binoculars. We love to casually birdwatch and my wife and I live for most of the year on a catamaran sailboat and the rolling of the deck can create some steadying issues using our standard binocs. Since not only pleasure but our safety was on the line, I was willing to give it a try. The end result is nothing short of amazing. Important safety details such as daymarker numbers or reefs can be picked up at about twice as far away as with our marine standard binocs but best of all is the steady sure confidence imparted to the product from the image stabilization feature.
I highly recommend these puppies to anyone wanting a quality pair of binocs.

Worth the money!Jun 14, 2009 These are GREAT binoculars! Worth the money!
I agonized and agonized. Should I buy the 15x50s? Some purchasers said the 18x50s don't TOTALLY stop the image from moving around, but the 15x50s will. What will I do if I don't like these things? Is $1,000 just too much money? Will I use these things or will they just sit in the closet?
Well, I took a chance, knowing Amazon's reputation for great customer service. One guy who bought these things said he didn't like them, returned them to Amazon with no problem. Well, I got 'em and... I LOVE THESE BINOCULARS! They're WORTH the money! The jitter is TOTALLY GONE from the image. TRUE, the entire image itself DOES move around a little with the movement of my hands, BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THIS in exchange for the FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC views of aircraft, wildlife and the moon! I like to use binocs while lying down on a chaise lounge, so I just support my elbows on the chaise's arms. Even when I hold them in my hands, the image doesn't wander all that much. I can live with it. My arms DO get tired after about 5 minutes of using these binocs, but who cares? I'll get stronger arms!
I bought two Canon lens caps and two Hoya 58 mm UV filters. Yes, the Hoyas are more expensive than the recommended filters but, hey, if I'm gonna spend $1,000 plus for the binocs, why should I skimp on anything else?
A point here: I'm not a rich guy. I saved money to buy these things. And again, to ME, they're WORTH the money! Do what you need to do for you, but, for me, they were an essential purchase!
If you choose, buy these and HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!1
