I believe they show the best image in any 10x bin I ever had, the IS being the most important factor of course. which has feathering reaching 3/4 of the upper bill length. Not that I could compare these two corvids at that particular moment, Ravens are much rarer They are my shopping pair of bins, I take them with me on my walk to the local minimart, afraid as I am that I miss something flying by.... Superb quality, high power binoculars with 18x magnification and Canon precision optics featuring an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens element to reduce chromatic aberration and the Super Spectra lens coating that delivers vivid, high contrast view with accurate colours. Really enjoyable was sitting down and gazing through the 18x50's at foraging waders, Spoonbills, Purple Herons and Great Egrets. I could ID even the smaller waders far off. The 18x's really come into their own when sitting down and resting your elbows on your knees. I could ID Sand Martins resting on the sedges about 200 yards away.

Bode’s Nebula, big and clear through the 18x50s, also shows

I am also happy with a pair of 18X 50 IS Canons that I bought maybe 5-6 years ago. They are my preference when I want the highest magnification to see the greatest detail. The IS is a great invention. I can literally read signs more than a mile away although I cannot even see the sign itself with the naked eye. It is amazing. By this time I had put the 10x30's in the bag and focused my attention on the 18x50's. I believe I am now officially addicted to the bigger picture. Glass Quality: The optics are fully multi-coated with high-definition (HD) glass, which provides exceptional light transmission, color fidelity, and resolution. This results in sharp, high-contrast images that make target identification and shot placement precise, even at extended ranges. Enjoy excellent viewing in harsh weather conditions thanks to weather resistance to JIS 4 specification. The rugged build quality features a rubber finish to withstand the harshest conditions, making these binoculars ideal for heavy-duty use. the stable position of the bins on the tripod. I think that on a lightweight cheap tripod the bins perform better with IS switched on, especially in windy conditions.

There were many more birds and it was a sheer joy to look at them, close up or further off, through 18x mag bins.

This is a good thing, because the Duracell AA batteries I'm using now last only a day and a half. That's four times shorter than the same batteries in the 10x30's, which will give enough power for six days. Both with IS system frequently used ( read this as: all the time ). the button but can grip the bino in the most comfortable way. After 5 minutes the IS switches off automatically.

Almost everybody who has ever used binoculars at sporting events or concerts has experienced how much the images shake, and you feel that the binoculars are useless. The main complaint of users has been image shake. The higher the magnification, the larger the image shake. In general, any binoculars with over 10x magnification should not be used for a long time. The best solution in the past was to use a tripod. However, tripods are bulky and can't be used everywhere. Even if you need a pair of binoculars of over 10x magnification for bird watching, the most you would want to use since you walk around a lot would be something of 7x or 8x magnification. But for the best detail at high magnification, you have the best with the 18X50s. They are just heavy for me to carry around a lot. Canon is the worlds first maker to use an active optical image stabilizer for IS series. Because two Vari-Angle Prisms are controlled by a microprocessor, hand shake is eliminated. As a result, even with over 10x magnification, a tripod is not needed. And they can even be used while viewing from a moving car or train! In addition to the light weight, there is no eye strain to make you tired, so it is possible to use these binoculars for a long time. A nice consequence of this is, that I won't need to find a rainguard that is big enough to fit over the vast eyecups! I wouldn't know where to look, the Fujinons are not very well known here, let alone any accessories like rainguards.
