[QUOTE="ceasar, post: 3220576, member: 26155"] Features for the 12x36 IS III mention "improved power efficiency and battery function." [url]http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/binoculars/image_stabilizer/12_x_36_is_iii#Features[/url] The power source is 2 Alkaline or NiMh batteries. There is no mention of the use of Lithium batteries. Here are the features of the older IS II: [url]http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/binoculars/image_stabilizer/12_x_36_is_ii#Features[/url] The power source is simply 2 AA batteries but the Overview mentions Lithiums. It would be an improvement, IMO, if you could lock the IS in with the new model like it works on the 50mm binoculars instead of constantly holding the button down. Nothing like that is mentioned. The "Overview" paragraph for the IS II also says it has a doublet field flatterner. No change in price and they weigh the same for all practical purposes. Bob [/QUOTE]
