Comments about Canon 12x36 IS II Binoculars:

I needed a second pair of binoculars, primarily for watching football games from row 90 of Michigan Stadium and liked my Canon 10X30 IS so much that I decided to get these. They are really awesome. I feel like I am right in the game. They are easy to adjust, have held up in rainy weather, and produce a crystal clear image. My only complaint is the weight (they seem a bit heavier than the 10X30), but it's worth it.

Great product!!!

Everyone who has tried them has said...WOW.

Find small text in the distance that is blur...then press the stabilize button and WOW, you can see detail you thought wasn't there.

Comments about Canon 12x36 IS II Binoculars:

Worth every penny because image clarity and optical stabilization make for wonderful viewing. My only complaint is that Canon could have supplied a sturdier, more protective case. Also eyepiece caps tend to fall off easily and get lost

Comments about Canon 12x36 IS II Binoculars:

I purchased one of the original 24X36 IS which
was lost. The new 24X36 IS II performance is
about the same which was excellent. The new
model is lighter, has a better feel and has
a longer battery life. My basic use is looking at lighthouses.
