First Impressions of Canon 12x36IS and Canon 10x42L IS

If you’re still thinking about getting a pair of Canon IS binoculars, stop thinking and just do it! You won’t be disappointed.

If the “L” glass is anything like the camera “L” glass then they must be a joy to look through … they must be expensive , never saw a cheap”L” lens

have the 12x36 III , the only objectionable issue for me is the CA on high contrast objects, for astronomy it isnt a problem, for birding i would go the 10x42 route. (havent tried them though). i got mine for general use, star gazing, travelling and hiking and for that they are overall a better pick than the 10x42i think due to weight difference (and its half the price).

Thanks for the video. I’ve had my eyes on the 10x42 for many years but I think I’m finally going to pull the trigger on these bad boys as I’m going on a trip in the Fall .

Great review!

There's nothing like image stabilized binoculars, once you try them you can't really go back, I just wished we had more options. Like a higher magnification L model from Canon would be amazing.
