I would think that the Canon 15×50 IS is one of the best binoculars made, assuming that you get one that is optically and mechanically as it should be.
It is good for astronomy and terrestrial work.
It has a wide apparent field, very good star images and can out resolve standard binoculars handheld.
I use the 18×50 as I prefer the higher magnification.
I may occasionally have had the problem, where the image stabilisation did not switch off, and I think this may have been several years ago. It may be something to do with the switch, or the way the switch is depressed.
But if it never switches itself off, this is a slight fault, but as long as you know about it then you just switch it off manually.
