    Default Canon launches 10x30 IS II and 12x36 IS III binoculars

    Canon launches 10x30 IS II and 12x36 IS III binoculars

    Canon has launched the 10x30 IS II and 12x36 IS III binoculars with10x and 12x magnifications respectively. These binoculars have the latest optical Image Stabilizer technology.

    These two new models have caught our eye as they will appeal particularly to users who are interested in wildlife or travel. Too often after using a long lens, when we look through the binocular, the experience appears to be awful. These new binoculars from Canon will help us view the subjects with similar levels of clarity and stability associated with our Canon lenses. The new binoculars boast the latest improvements to its Image Stabilizer technology - improving stability in a wider range of conditions whilst also improving power efficiency and battery life.

    As a handy and portable companion for wildlife and nature photographers, both models can be used to quickly spot a subject far in the distance and isolate it from the rest of a scene, making appraisal easy for a potential composition. Using a high-grade optical formula and similar optical materials as found in Canon’s EF lenses, the transition from spotting to image capture is made more pleasurable with technologies to reduce eye strain while viewing subjects over long periods of time.

    Both new binoculars offer comfortable ergonomics, and ruggedness in a compact size that easily fits in a bag. Easy to hold, weighing just 660g and 600g, the 12x36 IS III and 10x30 IS II are ideal to take anywhere. A soft-touch anti-reflective coating and rubber eyecups ensures comfort and can be easily adjusted to match an individual’s eyesight, and can be used whilst wearing glasses without the field or view distorting or visible vignetting.
    Optical IS technology: Since the higher is the magnification, the higher is the effect of image shake, Canon has included a Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer system that uses two sensors and a microprocessor to analyse the smallest tremble and shift the prisms, instantly adjusting the angle of incoming light to keep the view clear and steady.

    Super Spectra Coating: With uncoated lenses, about eight percent of incident light is reflected, lowering the image brightness. In order to prevent incident light from being reflected, these binoculars have a Super Spectra coating – the same coating as in EF lenses – which has been highly praised for its light transmission efficiency and resistance to ghosting and flare. The prisms are also coated to ensure a bright and clear view.
    Doublet Field Flattener Lens: Field Flattener lenses offer edge-to-edge sharpness, free of any discernible astigmatism or distortion. This will help in good image quality around the frame edges because if a binocular with inferior image quality is used for an extended period of time, the user will get tired. Canon offers a doublet field-flattener lens for both new models.
    Improved battery life: Battery power consumption has been significantly reduced when using the Image Stabilizer. For example, when using AA alkaline batteries, approximately nine hours of operation are possible.
