Canon Binoculars

Indeed they do. Read more about them here

Are Canon binoculars good?

Very good.  Canon are world-leaders in Image Stabilisation technology which they utilise in their binoculars to eliminate shake and provide a clear image. It is particularly useful in a small boat, or similar situation, where there is no way to hold anything steady.

The technology has been regularly upgraded since it was first launched in the 75-300 EF zoom lens for their EOS 35mm film SLRs in 1995. 

It enables their binoculars to reveal detail that other brands cannot reach without a tripod or similar support to eliminate shake.

The History Of Canon Binoculars

Canon’s origins go back to the 1930s. They were principally instrument makers and their first camera, the Kwannon, was equipped with an outsourced Nikkor lens.

Canon rapidly invested in their own optical facility and have made a name for themselves as number one in the world for cameras and lenses as well as a leader in stabilised binoculars, business machines and printers.

With several research and manufacturing facilities located across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Canon are constantly bringing forward-thinking solutions into the world of optics.

If you are passionate about wildlife and the impact of sports-hunting on many endangered species, you will be pleased to know that Canon are dedicated to sustainability, have supported the WWF for Nature for many years and do not produce binoculars, scopes or gun-sights for hunting.  Also they no longer support any event, such as the Bournemouth Air Festival or Formula 1, that is associated with the burning of fossil fuels.

To guarantee you the best possible view with no fuss, their entire range are optically stabilised, from the humble 8x20 pair to the Canon 10x42L Image Stabilising Water-Proof Binoculars - possibly the best specified binoculars on the market adding the optical excellence developed for Canon’s top-end DSLR lenses technology to the Canon’s standard IS and waterproofing features.

So, no matter if you’re a casual outdoor enthusiast,  a professional wildlife photographer looking to invest in a premium pair or a shaky sailor trying to find your way home, Canon can offer you the ideal pair out of a comprehensive range of high-quality binoculars with a wide choice of magnifications - all with image stabilisation. 

To paraphrase, the best binoculars are the ones that don't shake up and down when you look through them.
