| | Canon 12x36 Stabilized Binoculars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | To barely equal the Canon's hand held view I had to move in to 13 feet with the Nikons--and even then the view through the Nikons was an assemblage of jitters compared to the Canon's stable view. |
 | | I am quite sure that the optics of the Canons are not intended to be in true alignment with stabilization off, and, what is more, they seem to settle in a different state of misalignment every time you release the stabilization button. |
 | | At the same time, the Canons give you the unmatched freedom of movement of binoculars, and, under the right conditions, they do provide something amazingly like the bird-in-the-hand view a scope provides of, say, birds at the feeder, and do it anywhere you happen to be. |
