I've finally convinced myself that I should try one of the Canons, so I'm seriously considering getting a Canon IS 10x30. The 10x42 is too heavy as far as I'm concerned, and the 15x50 and the 18x50 are neither fish nor flesh - too much magnification for passerines, and too little for anything that's far away.
What I'm still not sure about though is how durable these bins really are. There are a lot of positive comments about the Canon's durability in the field buried in the many threads in this forum, but not all the comments are entirely positive.
What I'd like to know is how well the Canons have stood the test of time. There are quite a few people here who've used them for several years - what's your experience been like? How durable are they, given that it isn't always possible to pamper bins in the field?
