In my opinion those are high scores. Very high scores.
Ergonomics and mechanic performance... Canon should be rated at 0, at most, compared to the others.
Its ergonomics compared to the other binos there... is like a catastrophe.
For example, in the result.
Canon outperformed Bushnell Elite in ergonomics! And it is right beside the vortex and others. ... and this with two AA inside.
Canon outperformed Bushnell elite again in mechanics performance! And it is right beside the others. How can that be? A hanging loose prism outperforming a roof fixed prism in mechanics?
Its not electronic performance... its mechanical performance. And in that point Canon should take a 0 too, at most.
Just my opinion.
It is clear that there are some who view the Canon as an electronic device masquerading as a binocular and who would therefore like to read it out of the list.
Imho, this is silly. The Canon is an excellent all weather glass with some remarkable performance features. It is optically excellent, hanging prism notwithstanding, offering a wide and bright image with well suppressed CA and coma. It is an excellent birding glass and I for one am happy to see it scrutinized and measured against its peers.
It is tests such as this one that allow other birders to get a reasonable overview of the current state of the art and also highlight for the manufacturers what issues their products must address to remain competitive. The sponsors deserve our applause for a big job well done.
