Default Canon Binoculars

Anybody out there have any feed back or info on (Canon 8 X 25is) Binoculars. What you think of the clarity and the image stabilization feature on them. Looking to use them for Coyote hunting and general use.

Default test run

I have not tried them in the field only had a 30 minute demo around town but i just found them to be too bulky for my liking also the waterproof ones basiclly put me at a price level of better optics so i passed.

This should be the go to place for anyone looking for optic's other than rifle scopes. Bird watchers demand so much out of their glass it's not even funny.

I doubt you would find much comment on an 8x bino on a birding forum. But their impressions of the more powerful models in relation to other brands would likely hold true for the 8x stuff.

I guarantee you will find lots of info on almost any bino made! and the 8 power is the most popular for birding.
