Customer Review: Binoculars Canon 8x25
Summary: 5 Stars
The image quality is excellent. Eye relief is good so these binoculars are easy to use. The image stabilization is amazing. I use them for star gazing and would not go back to binoculars that are not image stabilized. The improvement in seeing is amazing when the IS is engaged. I also use them for concerts etc. and IS makes all the difference.
Battery life has been good using the IS function 99% of the time. Since I am a casual user two batteries last about a year.
I would have liked to see a push on push off type of switch for the IS instead of having to push and hold the IS switch to keep it engaged.
Focusing is relatively easy even while holding down the IS button, which is located on the top front by the way.
After using 8x25 and experiencing IS for the first time I wish that I would have gotten the next higher magnification because it works so well.
Description of Canon 8x25 Image Stabilization Binoculars w/Case and Neck Strap
Canon's 8x25 IS ( Image Stabilizer ) Binoculars bring you outstanding optical performance in the smallest and lightest IS design to date - at the most affordabel price yet associated with this series. Combining Canon's Tilt-System Image Stabilizer technology with a rubberized, rounded shape for comfortable, non-slip handling, the 8x25 IS binoculars are perfect in all settings, from roaring stadium to serene forest.Whether you are sitting in the nosebleed seats of a stadium or an opera house, with Canon's 8 x 25 IS binoculars you'll get an outstanding close-up view of the action. The binoculars are designed to fit perfectly in your hands and have a rubber coating for nonslip grip and protection from damage. The focus dial is center-mounted and the image stabilizer controls are easily accessible from either hand. Canon's optical image stabilization technology eliminates shake and reduces curvature of field. The image stabilizer operates with a CR123A Lithium battery. The lenses are coated with Super Spectra multicoating that improves image quality by maximizing contrast and minimizing color smear.
Image Stabilization and More
With any high magnification binoculars, most users will experience frustrating image shake. Unless fixed to a tripod, image shake can render high magnification binoculars useless. Canon's IS technology is remarkably effective at eliminating this problem and is widely used by the television industry with Canon's professional broadcast quality video recording equipment. A special VAP (Vari-Angle Prism) corrective IS system sits between the objective lens group and the porro prism on each side of the binoculars. Within thousandths of a second of the binoculars being moved from their optical axis by vibrations, a detection system activates the IS mechanism. The VAP shape alters to refract or 'bend' the light path by precisely the right amount, thus fully compensating for the vibration. It is this essentially immediate response that effectively suppresses image shake.
Super Spectra Coating
A number of optical factors affect the brightness of an image, including the amount of incidental light that is reflected by the lens. An uncoated lens will refelect away as much as 8% of the incidentail light, significantly dimming the image. Canon's Super Spectra Coating prevents that reflection.
What do the numbers mean?
15x50? 8x25? The two numbers used to describe any pair of binoculars are their magnification - 8x, 12x, 15x and so on - and the diameter of their objective lenses - 25mm, 36mm, 50mm, and so on. The larger the first number is, the larger the object will appear to be in the objective lens. For instance, if you use a 10x lens and look at an object that is 100 yards away, it appears to be the same size as an object located just 10 yards away. The second number, the size of the objective lens, is important because the larger the objective lens, the more light it can admit for brighter, more detailed images, and the better suited they will be for lowlight situations.
