Canon's new 15x45 IS binoculars deliver world-class optical imaging technology in a compact and lightweight yet durable package. Engineered to ensure maximum comfort and ease of use, the contoured body is coated with water-resistant, textured rubber to fit securely in your hands while guarding against the elements. As Canon's new top-of-the-line model, the 15x45 IS is a high-powered system offering 15x magnification and a wide 67 degree field of view. Equipped with Canon's innovative Optical Image Stabilizer system, these remarkable binoculars automatically adjust and compensate for minor vibrations and shaking and provide steady viewing, even in moving vehicles. The center mounted focus control is easily accessible from either hand. And once in focus, objects remain crisp and smooth thanks to Canon's unique Doublet Field Flattener technology, which dramatically reduces image distortion common to other high-magnification binoculars. When you need the world up close, look into the new Canon 15x45 IS. You'll clearly see what we're talking about.
