## Description

Product Description Sharp, steady viewing for an active world. Light, sleek and powerful, this advanced binocular features Canon's Image Stabilizer technology to keep the image steady even when you are not. High magnification multi-coated lenses deliver a wide, extra-bright field-of-view. The Doublet Field Flattener keeps images sharp from edge-to-edge. An enhanced power-saving technology coupled with optional lithium AA batteries provide up to 12 hours of continuous use. All Canon binoculars feature a center focus for easy one-handed operation, and the 12x36 IS II has a water-resistant, non-slip rubber coating that ensures secure handling in a wide range of environments. From the Manufacturer Adventure Is in SightFor versatile, image-stabilized operation and clear and bright 12x images look no further than Canon's 12x36 IS III. Whether in the hands of a hunter scouting a target, a birdwatcher looking for their favorite finch or a sports fan watching the batter swing, these binoculars offer outstanding image quality, speedy operation and an elegant, compact design. With 12x magnification and bright 36mm/1.42 in. objective lenses, the 12x36 IS III are engineered to perform beautifully both indoors and out. Canon's improved Image Stabilization (IS) technology helps deliver smooth, extended viewing without the need for a tripod, and Canon optics help provide bright, sharp and colorful, virtually distortion-free viewing. With extended use in mind, these binoculars feature long eye relief for comfortable use even when wearing glasses. No matter the user, no matter the situation, Canon's 12x36 IS III are a premium combination of high magnification optics and a surprisingly portable package. Excellent Performance, Ready to GoCanon's 12x36 IS III are versatile, powerful, lightweight and compact, perfect to use when hunting, on hikes, watching sports events, and more. They incorporate sophisticated Image Stabilization (IS), bright 12x Canon optics for detail and improved electronics for efficient performance day after day, all in a compact and simple design that's easy to carry all day. Improved Technology for Amazing StabilizationTo achieve a stable high magnification view, without the need for a tripod, the 12x36 IS III feature Canon's advanced Image Stabilization (IS) technology for performance on par with Canon's EF series of lenses. Vari-Angle prisms are placed between the front lens and the main prism. When the binoculars' gyro sensors detect vertical or horizontal movement, these prisms compensate and correct any movements or shakes for smoother panning, no matter the speed. A high performance microcomputer using advanced algorithms not only improves IS, it helps provide shorter startup times and more efficient energy consumption. This means a comfortable, stable field of view that can be easy to maintain, whether tracking deer in the woods, watching a football game from the stands or seeing the sights from the window of a tour bus. High Magnification, Compact SizeCanon's 12x36 IS III feature a refined optical system designed to provide a 12x close up view with incredible optics, offering performance that can compete with much larger binoculars. And with 12x magnification it's easy to see details that could be missed with the naked eye: the pattern of an animal's fur, the expression on the face of the goalie, the intricate beauty of butterfly wings and much more are brought closer with the 12x36 IS III. The Perfect Combination of Size and BrightnessWith an objective lens effective diameter of 36mm/1.42 in., the 12x36 IS III deliver an extremely bright view while remaining portable enough to carry all day. The minute the action starts, whether in a brightly lit arena, or outdoors at dusk, the 12x36 IS III's bright lenses display an impressive level of detail. Sharp and Efficient Binocular DesignCanon's 12x36 IS III use a Porro II Prism design. Because both the front lens and the eyepiece use convex-shaped glass, the binoculars' design necessitates a prism system between the front objective lens and the eyepiece to flip the otherwise inverted image that would appear. Porro type prisms are perfect for the 12x36 IS III's compact design because they deliver clear, bright images at high magnification with excellent sharpness, and minimal light falloff. Unblemished, Across the FrameCanon's 12x36 IS III deliver a sharp and flat image across the frame thanks to the addition of doublet field-flattener lenses in the eyepieces. Doublet lenses correct curvature of field, the image quality degradation typical at the edges of the image. Thanks to the doublet field-flattener, a sharp and even, wide field of view is displayed in the eyepieces. Longer, More Efficient OperationWith enhanced power-saving electronics, the Image Stabilization (IS) system in Canon's 12x36 IS III is markedly more energy efficient than in previous models. Using AA alkaline batteries, the 12x36 IS III's IS system works for up to 9 hours. The 12x36 IS III are also compatible with nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) rechargeable batteries. More Comfortable for Longer Periods of UseIn binoculars, the distance from the eyepoint where the image can be seen without obstruction is known as eye relief. In use, especially for extended periods of time, more eye relief can make for a more comfortable, sustainable experience. Canon's 12x36 IS III have excellent, long eye relief, providing a generous field of view that makes the binoculars comfortable to look through, even when wearing glasses. Discreet, for Excellent Performance in More EnvironmentsThe 12x36 IS III have a refined, anti-reflective external design. This is especially helpful for watching birds and wildlife, or any situation where remaining inconspicuous is a priority. Thoughtful ConstructionThe 12x36 IS III, as with all other Canon lenses, use glass optical components that are made of lead-free glass.

Review: Terrific binoculars! - A truly "Wow!" product. I know that image stabilization binoculars aren't new, but they are new to me. Looking through them for the first time, and then pressing that image stabilization button, it's like there's a wizard inside there. The image becomes more still, sharper, it's like magic. Truly amazing. While I'm sure the much more expensive Canon IS 10 x 42 L is even better, it's hard to imagine how much better they could be than the 10 x 30's. I had read a lot of good things about the image stabilization ability of the Canon binoculars, but seeing is believing. It really is a very impressive feature. I'll never buy another pair of non image stabilization binoculars again. Pros: The image stabilization feature is great! I like the way the lenses adjust for different users. Feels like a quality build. The IS button is perfectly located and very easy to push and hold. I was worried that having to hold the button down would be a problem. It isn't. Comes with a nice carrying case. Great value for the money. A nice balance of weight, price, quality optics, and power for the casual birder/wildlife observer. One of the people who uses it in our family can only use their right hand and so can't hold the binoculars with two hands. The image stabilization feature works out great for them and makes wildlife viewing and bird watching so much more rewarding. Cons: Attaching the carrying strap to the binoculars new out of the box was a tedious endeavor. It seemed way harder than it ought to of been. I was afraid I was going to scratch the binocular casing trying to get the straps started through the eyelets on the binoculars. I finally did it, though. Just a minor quibble. Also, there are no lens caps for one end of the binoculars! None at all. The other end has lens caps. That's just silly in my opinion. August 5th, 2024: These image stabilization binoculars have worked flawlessly since I bought them in 2017. However, I pulled them out of their case the other day and the battery door was open and the metal plate that is on the battery door was missing! So, the image stabilization feature no longer worked because the batteries wouldn’t function without the metal piece on the battery door. So, I ordered a replacement battery door for $49 off of e….Bay. With a pair of needle nose pliers and a very pointy “punch” tool was able to replace the battery door and all works well now. Still a terrific pair of binoculars that I would buy again in a minute.
Review: PERFECT for bird watching or grabbing details off of signs, roofs or license plates - When I first started hunting for image-stabilized binoculars, I quickly realized they were often pricey and bulky, making them a bit of a drag to carry on walks. My son recently took up bird watching, and these are perfect for him because the stabilization lets you focus on tiny details like colors and bill shapes. The optics are crystal clear, and the image stabilization is seriously amazing. They feel great in your hands, and I’m always blown away when I focus on something and press the button—it’s like the binoculars are suddenly on a tripod! Simply hold down the button, and you’re using the stabilization. PERFECT for bird watching or grabbing license plates! These really are the best binoculars I have every owned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solution to problem of Canon 10x30 is ii binos being sold without front lens covers?
*by C***0 on March 13, 2018*

I bought the Canon 10x30 is ii binoculars as potential travel binos. They are much smaller and lighter than the newer Canon 10x32 third generation binos and have improved optics relative to the first generation Canon 10x30 is model. The at-home tests so far show the is ii are lightweight and exhibit good vision across the width of the lens viewing area. Stabilization is good in terms of neutralizing hand shake vibrations. As noted by many other reviewers the stabilization feature of the is ii make the 10x binos very usable for terrestrial viewing, and is simply amazing for astronomy viewing, capturing at least about 1-2 magnitude of dimmer stars. Airline luggage and weight restrictions are making carrying large binos in personal size luggage increasingly difficult. Other reviewers mentioning the lack of objective lens caps on the Canon 10x30 is ii as sold as a disadvantage are correct. The is ii only come with individual eyepiece lens covers. A search of the Internet did not reveal any solutions to this problem. However, I found on Amazon a 39mm spring-loaded pinch-type lens caps that seem to fit well into the tapered 38mm diameter lens shroud around the objective lenses of the Canon 10x30 is ii binos. It is not an exact fit. The lens caps are sold as 39mm in width, and the Canon 10x30 is ii have about a 38mm inside diameter around the front lenses, but a little pressure seems to result in a snug seating. You can but the spring-loaded lens caps on Amazon at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GM415EM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As noted my other reviewers, individual lens caps for front or back binos lenses are also easy to misplace. I am trying out some lens cap tethers from ChromLives, sold in a 5-pack, that use an adhesive pad to secure the tether to the front lens cap, and elastic bands for wrapping around the eyepiece tubes. (See below link and photos). These tethers are of an ideal length, and even help secure the spring-loaded clips in place on the front of the binos. Two of the remaining three tethers could similarly be used to hold the eyepiece lens covers on the viewer side of the binos, but most users would probably prefer a single piece rain guard style eye lens cover that can be threaded on the bino neck strap to reduce parts and clutter. (The search is now on for a suitable rain guard cover.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0731H4WND/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The combination of the 39mm spring-loaded front lens covers and tethers is also attractive because it permits use of the carrying case that comes with the Canon 10x30 is ii binos. Typical rifle scope style front flip covers add considerable length and/or width to the point the binos no longer fit in their as-sold carrying case. These style flip covers also probably will not fit on the thin lip around the front lens of the is ii binos. The only con experienced so far is that the spring inside the lens cover is very strong to the point that it sometimes pops off a cover when jarred due to the inner taper of the front lens housing. That is when the tether comes in very handy. I am attaching a few photos showing the 39mm lens covers and tethers mounted to the 10x30 is ii binos. Time will tell if this combination solves the rather apparent but minor drawback of the Canon 10x30 ii being sold without front lens covers and as sold with only individual eyepiece lens caps that can become lost easily in the field. So far these frong lens covers appear to be are making the Canon 10x30 is ii into a near ideal travel small-size stabilized bino.
