Lets talk binoculars

Canon 12x36 Image Stabilization III Binoculars. They’re pricey at ~$700, but I’ve had a pair for several years, and they’re so nice to use. When you press the button to activate the IS, it makes everything clear and sharp. It’s like looking at a pair of binoculars on a tripod, but handheld. Very convenient to quickly whip out the binos to look at something and have a clear image.

I do wish the button could be a toggle, though. You have to press and hold it down to keep the IS active, at least on the version 3 model. It isn’t too hard to do, but still, a bit annoying to have to tell each person who uses it to push and hold the button or else they aren’t correctly taking advantage of the main feature of these binoculars.
