The Canon 12x36 IS II Binoculars – A Great View
The first time I looked through the Canon 12x36 IS binoculars I thought that they were just a pair of binoculars and the image stability feature would be sketchy and would still require a tripod setup to eliminate the shaking. Well I was wrong and when I got the chance to actually use them, I was completely speechless.
Unlike traditional binoculars, the Canon 12x36 IS binoculars have image stability, which is of course what the IS stands for. Anyway generally the shaking from your hands when holding the binoculars, although small, was more then enough to make the image distorted and the higher the magnification of the binoculars, the more you could see the shaking.
I am somewhat of an amateur astronomer and like to stare at the night sky through a telescope. After I learned about the Canon 12x36 IS binoculars, I may only use the binoculars as my teliscope, well maybe I will but for right now these binoculars work just as good as a telescope. And even though you do not need a tripod, there is a place for you to mount one on the binoculars themselves, however you have the option to connect to a tripod if you would like to.
So, how do the Canon 12x36 is binocularswork? I won't bore you with the details here, but really all you must to do is press the button on top of the binoculars and hold it down while you are viewing. Granted, this will make your finger want to fall asleep after a little while, but the view is worth it. With any luck they will fix this feature in forthcoming models so that you can just press the button once and the IS will stay on for a little while.
The Canon 12x36 IS binoculars are powered by 2 AA alkiline batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries and you will still get the same amount of performance, however, the batteries still only last about 20 hours or so. But that is 20 hours of full viewing time if you want to, you can use these binoculars like any regulare set of binoculars without using any battery power.
To sum things up overall I thought these binoculars were excellent The focus was very sharp and exact, and even when you turned the IS feature off you could see for miles without distortion, although you may still need a tripod. These binoculars are water resistant to so you can use them in the rain but they aren't water proof, but even with that drawback the Canon 12x36 IS II binoculars are definitely more than meets the eye.
