 not waterproof Jul 25, 2010
I bought one of these two years ago and was very happy with my purchase until recently when I used them in a heavy rain. The binoculars were never submerged or even fully exposed to the rain, but they obviously got wet. The lenses fogged up and the image stabilizer went haywire. It took two days of drying to fix it (I live in California so that was easy). The glasses look like they could take some rain, and I'd expect glasses to be pretty waterproof (esp. at this price) but these clearly aren't.

These binoculars bring the viewed object(s) up close, crisp and clear. The stabilization function makes a world of difference.
Great binoculars Jul 07, 2010
We bought these binoculars after using a friend's. Perhaps it's a comment on our previous binocular, but by comparison, these are spectacular! The image stabilization is a great help for these aging arms.

Works great May 10, 2010
I'll leave reviews of the optics and such to others who have more knowledge in the area. I bought these for the image stabilization, and that part works wonderfully. The view is the same as other binoculars I've had, until you press (and hold) the magic button. About a second later the jitteriness smooths out and the subtle details of the subject become crystal clear. As an example I used them from a ship looking at other distant ship traffic. They enabled me to read the ship names at a great distance where there was no hope without using the stabilization. These things work, I like 'em.

Very useful for daytime viewing May 08, 2010
The Canon 10x30IS is compact and light enough that it's a good companion for hikers, birdwatchers, hunters, and outdoorsmen. It won't wear you out while carrying it in the field. The image stabilization works very well and is easy to engage. With stabilization, you'll be pleased at the amount of detail revealed that was formerly obscured by shakiness. A side by side comparison with any other handheld 10x bino will have you reaching for the Canon every time. Optically, it's excellent. No edge softness or color fringes. Definitely high quality glass and coatings. The focus wheel is solid and positive in operation. Interocular distance is easily adjusted. The neck strap is thin but comfortable.
The small aperture (30mm) means that it performs well in daylight, but isn't really suitable for astronomy or night time viewing, except at well-lighted sporting events or concerts.
For several years now I have owned Canon's 15x50IS binoculars for stargazing. It too is an excellent instrument and very well suited for its purpose. But its weight and bulk make it less than ideal for daytime nature study. The 10x30IS fills that bill very well.
Highly recommended.
