Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
It's not a question about needing them or not. I want them and am looking for some. Whatever someone's opinion is on whether they are needed or not, a binocular WITH covers will stay cleaner than one without. I have binoculars I have owned for over 50 years, with glass that looks brand new. I... -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
Anyone found a good solution for objective "caps"? Looks like some sort of soft rubber "plug" would work. -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
Now I'm starting to wonder if maybe I own too many binoculars......nah....there is no such thing. But being able to get a notification from my astronomy app that the ISS will be overhead in four minutes, and being able to grab only this light binocular, and my jacket and go outside, see it... -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
I found that I already own the perfect case for them. The Maven hard case for their 25-30mm compacts. Its a perfect fit. My Maven only came in a cloth bag, so I purchased this case. -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision

Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
I got them this morning. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. Optically even without the IS turned on, they are quite good. I was able to do my reading "test" on a sign across the street that has large, medium, small, and really small print on it. I could read the large, medium... -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
I like your sleeper car analogy. When I was young I owned a 1969 Chevy Chevelle COPO. It looked like a normal car, something like dad would drive, but I could beat anything on the road, if I was on my game. Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed trans. Nothing sounded like that 427 and the sound of that... -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
It is your take in that thread that swayed me in this direction. Especially the parts relating to the image quality. -
Canon 8 x 20 IS Decision
After changing my mind on getting the 12x36 III, I have decided that the 8x20 IS will be my first IS binocular. I like size, and the fact that they stay on for five minutes which will allow easy one handed operation. I also liked what some of you have said about the quality of the views. They...
