Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 15x50 Image Stabilization All Weather Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries
Customer Review: The best high powered binoculars for handheld use.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon 15x50 IS binoculars are the best choice for high power handheld use because it has a wide 67.5? AFOV that is sharp to the edge of the wide 4.5? FOV. I also have the Canon 8x25 IS, 10x42L IS WP and 12x36 IS II's that are all the best in their class. The 15x50 IS is at the limit of the Canon IS system because the 18x50 with ?0.7? correction angle would make it alot harder to stay within that amount for the average person IMHO. I could track planes very easy with my 10x42L's but my 12x36's and 15x50's are too hard to stay within the correction angle while panning but for everything else they are great. For half the price of premium 15x binoculars the 15x50 IS's are a bargain and have wider FOV with a steady view to see detail that could not be seen in 15x non IS premium binoculars handheld.
Customer Review: IS makes a world of difference!
Summary: 4 Stars
Without the IS system, I can only look through these things for a few minutes before my trembling hands have me nauseous. But the IS allows me to look through these as long as I can support them. Like another reviewer, I find I have to fold down the eye cups for a better view.
I fail to understand why Canon can't include a cover for the objective lenses, particularly at this price tag. Aside from that, the only complaint worth mentioning is that they are rather heavy, and you won't be pointing these at the sky for too long without a tripod or something supporting your elbows.
If you can afford them and don't mind a little weight, you will be pleased.
Customer Review: Canon IS 15x50 Almost perfect........
Summary: 3 Stars
Just recieved this pair of binocular. Replaced my 10x30 Canon IS that grew legs and walked.
The bino's are a bit heavy. Unless proped up, there is some fatigue during long viewing sessions. The IS works great. A bit more jittery than the 10x30's but still a major improvement over regular 10x50's. There is just a hint on lateral color compared to the 10x30IS.
The interpupilary distance is a bit lacking. When set to almost minimum, they tend to bite into the nose bridge due to the fact that the eye cups are larger than necessary. If you have narrowly set eyes, I would not recommend these. Also, the eye relieve could be better. To get a full field of view, the eye cups have to be folded down.. I would rate 'em better, but having to fold down the eyecups all the time is a bit
annoying.. Especially since I use them without eyeglasses.
Was it a good purchase?? I would say yes, with some reservations.

A wonderful pair of binoculars!! Optics are extremely clear.....image stabilization works great.....they are however a little heavy especially when birding for several hours.Customer Review: Overrated
Summary: 2 Stars
The reviews must have been written by Cannon representatives. The stabilizer works on land. However, do not buy these if you expect to use them on a boat, that is not in dock, and expect significant stabilization.
