Review: Canon 12x36 Binoculars - Excellent optics. Light enough for long walks. IS image detail for wildlife fantastic. At half the price of the newer model and bigger optics (36mm) .
Review: Excellent Optics and Stabilisation - Although expensive these are good value. Optical quality is very good with only minor colour fringing on very high contrast edges. Stabilisation is brilliant especially for people who don't have steady hands - allows you to see so much more detail. The only slight negative is the lack of object lens covers which I purchased separately. Used them for star planet and moon gazing but really bought them for a safari. They excelled at everything.

## Features

- SUPER ZOOM - Powerful 12x magnification gets you closer to the action and reveals your subject in stunning detail, while the in-built Image Stabilizer keeps your subject steady for a sharper view.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Please is the button like a switch that you press just once and the IS activates, or do you have to keep pressing the button down (press and hold)?**
A: Press and hold and everything is steady. Most of the time I find the image stable enough without pressing the button but if you ned to see detail then press and hold. I find these binoculars are excellent but heavier than ones without IS.

**Q: Can these be used at night ? Can a microphone be attached?**
A: They can be used at night for night sky objects as this is one of the things I use them for, i.e stargazing. However, they are not night vision binos as used by paramilitary etc. Not sure how you would attach a mike, sticky tape but that might ruin the bios.

**Q: They only come with caps on the eye lens covers. Which cap should I get for the output lenses?**
A: I have used them for over two years birding with no caps and they are still in great condition.

**Q: do these binoculars have a full canon warranty. Can they be taken to a canon shop if found faulty**
A: I would assume they do. I would certainly take them to Canon if they were faulty as i have done with camera purchased from Amazon, no problem as long as you keep the paperwork and date of purchase. However apart from accidentally damaging them i doubt you would need to, they are very robust and well made. Have travelled with them quite a bit and even dropped them without any issues. They are excellent, quite the best i have ever owned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best binoculars i have ever owned !
*by A***K on 13 April 2017*

I have purchased several binoculars over the years including Zeiss. All are difficult to use. And the more powerful ones virtually useless due to shake. After reading some reviews i settled for these, a compromise between magnification and size. The very first time i used these for bird watching in my garden i focused and pressed the button and was shocked how after e few seconds everything became clear and steady. The first truly usable binoculars. The 12 x was a perfect choice as it hits the sweet spot between real life performance power and size. I have never used binoculars this much simply because they deliver. The light gathering is good, image very clear and sharp. It would have been nice if they incorporated lens cover and better eye cup covers, there is very slight colour fringing in bright light but these are minor issues. I am very pleased with the purchase and i would strongly recommend them.
