Summary: Great product!
Comment: I purchased these binoculars for my husband about a month ago, as a gift. He is thrilled with them. The distance, clarity and stability is outstanding.

Summary: You'll never go back...
Comment: These things are simply amazing. Things are bright and sharp without stabilization, but turn it on and over about a second or two it settles in and... wow!. You can read small type on a distant sign that you just would not have been able to make out otherwise. It would have been sharp, but too shaky to read. Details on wildlife are totally distinct, it's almost like the binocs are on a tripod. It really is astounding, everyone that tries them is knocked out.
A couple other points: The brightness is completely fine in my book - I have had absolutely no issues in that regard, even at night. The eye relief is sufficient for wearing glasses, but I've never found binocs that really work for me with glasses on - I think I just prefer having my eyes right in the eyepiece. Also, the rubber eyecups need to be flipped/forced back to really work with glasses which isn't very convenient, and I feel they would eventually suffer from the wear. The eyecups on the Nikon, for example, twist into different depths which is a better way of adjusting. The overall size is pretty good, definitely not as small as a good standard pair, but not giant or cumbersome at all either.
I think this model is a great middle ground. Lots of power at 12x, good brightness, medium sized, and that amazing stabilization. I'd definitely buy them again.
Oh one thing I would add, these only focus down to about 19', so consider if that is an issue for you...

Comment: These are quite something. I gave them to my bird watching wife and she is very pleased. The Image Stabilization is almost like magic. She hasn't had them long but so far they have performed well.

Summary: Canon Delivers
Comment: Canon's 12x36 IS II Binoculars are well worth the investment. After lugging around an old 12x50 non-IS for 20 years, the Canon is lighter, brighter, better balanced and better contoured. The IS is impressive to say the least, and so easy a caveman could do it! Lots of Pros for this one. The only Con are the lens dust caps, or more accurately the eyepiece dust caps. We managed to lose one of them in the first half hour on the trail. They don't grip real well. Now when we use the binocs we carry them in their soft case at all times, leaving the caps behind in the truck so they don't get lost. Best binocs I've ever had, and I've had quite a few over the years. Can't go wrong with this one.
