A all-weather resistant pair of 15x50 binoculars with an image stabilizer

Amazon.com Product Description With its wide 50mm objective lenses and high magnification,these rugged, all-weather Canon Image Stabilizer binoculars are destined to set a new and higher benchmark for image brightness, clarity and ergonomic design.

Leave your tripod at home when you use the new Canon 15x50 binoculars. Canon has once again made its world-renowned optical image stabilizer more convenient to use on this all-weather binocular. With a push of a button, bumpy images are stabilized instantly for maximum viewing. Multicoated ultralow dispersion (UD) objective elements add contrast, clarity, and color fidelity. Housed in a rugged, water-resistant, and slip-free rubber body, these binoculars can be used in rain or shine, whether in a football stadium or on the high seas. Stargazing is also possible with these versatile binoculars. The 15x50 is greatly improved over the previous model, with a larger 50mm objective lens, more convenient operation of the optical image stabilizer, and optional antifog eyepieces. Two AA batteries power the device. Also included in the package are a case, neck strap, and eyepiece covers.

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.

A look inside

• This pair of binoculars from Canon are unique among high-magnification binoculars because they incorporate Optical Image Stabilizer
• The Image Stabilizer technology compensates for handshaking as well as minute vibrations at the touch of a button
• 15x high magnification ratio.
• A 50mm objective lens for a wide, extra-bright field of view
• Multi-Coated Ultra-Low Dispersion Objective Elements add contrast, clarity & color fidelity
• 15mm Long-Eye Relief ensures comfort.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the canon 15/50is binoculars have a zoom feature
Answer:	Yes. Actually a very nice case.
Question:	Does anyone know what size are the eye cups? On the 15x? In mm. Thx
Answer:	Great for football because of the VERY WIDE view. It makes me feel like I am 3/4 of the way closer but still have a wide angle view. this may or may not work for you in a theatre setting.
Question:	Are these 'stabilized' enough to use on a boat, or is the magnification too high even with the stabilization feature for use on a moving vessel
Answer:	I give regular quarterly public outreach lectures for one of the largest astronomy clubs in the USA. My usual subject emphasis is on identifying constellations and a few Messier objects like the Andromeda Galaxy that are visible via naked eye. I also give a lecture on Opera Glass Astronomy where I compare the lower power binoculars (2 to 5x) to the higher power binoculars 7x and above. I personally own and have tested a large number of binoculars both modern and antique--ranging for a very wide angle 2.3 power to 18 power image stabilized. Powers above 7x and above are good night sky observations, but at that power experience and dexterity is needed to find one's target due to the relatively small field of view and difficulty keeping the binoculars steady. The 4x30 Bushnell binoculars are outstanding for astronomical observing primarily because of their wide field of view, brightness (relatively large front objective and 7.5 exit pupil), and fixed focus at infinity. The 17 degree field of view s enough to take in the bowl of the Big Dipper and Alioth, the first star in the handle. At 4 power, the views are not shaky like one encounters at the high magnifications. The fixed focus is good, because everything in the night sky is at infinity. Now don't expect to see a markedly enhanced detailed view of the moon, a spiral galaxy, or the rings of Saturn with this instrument. But they are the instrument of choice in my opinion for lovely widefield views and for showing the fainter stars, especially those of magnitudes 5 and 6. I enthusiastically recommend for their size, weight, utility, and excellent price point. I have no association with the company or any distributor. I was prompted to write in response to the postings claiming these binoculars are of little or no value for astronomy. If you want a practical astronomical viewing aid, you cannot go wrong buying these wide field binoculars. I wish I could write more, but space is limited.
Question:	Has anybody compaired the canon15x50is to the techno stabi 14x40is?? can you tell the difference between the 14x and15x power??? michael
Answer:	Great! In fact if you need corrective lenses--you should have them on when you use these binoculars for viewing. The salesman at Bushnell Outlet described these as multi-person grab and go binoculars--no real adjustments needed. He said many binoculars are really single person use as you do intricate focusing for your particular vision and magnification, ie, as with birding. With sports--you need to see something quickly and don't want to spend time focusing. My husband and I love them and switch back and forth and I wear glasses and he does not.

Question:	Is the 1.72# weight with or without battery? Is it really only 1 AA battery
Answer:	I bought this for someone who has a hard time using the on screen keyboard. I tested it out for her first and found that typing was not hindered by the size.
