Canon 12x36 IS III binoculars review

 

Can these mid-range image-stabilized binoculars deliver the best marriage of performance and tech?

Image stabiliser is excellent

CANON 12x36 IS III Binoculars - Black

 

Bought as an upgrade for a pair of Canon 10x30 IS binocs which I have had for about 10 years. Clear improvements in the magnification, optical clarity, image stabilisation and brightness and amazingly are the same weight as my old binos. Very happy

you need to accept that the minimum focus distance is @ 20 feet, so if you are using for very close work on a regular basis they may not be the ones for you

CANON 12x36 IS III Binoculars - Black

 

14.5mm eye relief fine for spectacle wearers. Field of View (87.5m at 1000m) good for my birdwatching needs. Weight (660 grams) and Battery life (9 hours) great for use in the field - not too heavy and not in need of constant new batts! View fine in...

Not fully waterproof. Can't focus on anything closer than approx 6 metres. Lack of good fitting lens caps may annoy others but no problem to me.

CANON 12x36 IS III Binoculars - Black

 

Considering the power of magnification the binos are relatively small and compact, very lightweight too. The image stabilising is magnificent.

IS button is in the middle not to the side as the larger models. Also there are no lense caps on the exiting lenses

CANON 12x36 IS III Binoculars - Black

 

Excellent piece of equipment. Good field of vision, Image stabalization works superbly.

For the cost lens caps should be included for the front and retaining cords to save losing them

Canon 12X36 MKII Image Stabiliser Binoculars

 

Image stabiliser really does work efficiently. Not too heavy even with batteries loaded.

Does not come with lens cap covers.

Canon 12X36 MKII Image Stabiliser Binoculars

 

The image stabilisation is worth the extra money

Might have preferred a hard case as they used to do , but a great buy

Canon 12X36 MKII Image Stabiliser Binoculars

 

I looked at the cheaper version of these with 10x magnification in the Jessop's shop, and it was a gamble to pay so much more for the 12x magnification. However, it was well worth the extra. I don't know why they're not rated excellent for bird...
