[obol] Request for Info on Image Stabilizing Binoculars

[Tom Ahlers]

I have had Canon 12 X 36 Image Stabilizing binoculars for several years. I love them and use them birding, boating, and at games. I have used them successfully on pelagic trips and have used them in rain with no ill effects so far. These are NOT gimmicks. They work and work well. I see much more detail than the folks standing next to me with ordinary binocs. The only complaint I hear is that they are heavy. When these die, I would buy again without hesitation. 
 
I, too, have an image stabilizing lens--Nikon 400mm (Nikon calls it Vibration Reduction VR). the quality of pictures I can get handholding the camera/lens is amazing.
