Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon StabilEyes 14x40 Image Stabilization Waterproof Binoculars with Case, Neck Strap & Batteries
Customer Review: Better than Canon IS
Summary: 5 Stars
I had done some research but wanted to physically compare the Nikon to the Canon IS. I lucked into a Ritz Camera store that happened to have both. My wife and I independently judged the Nikon to have superior Image Stabilization.
We have had them for over a ear and are very happy. They fell out of an SUV (in the case) and the image stabilization was inoperative. I sent them back to Nikon and they repaired them no charge.
I run them on rechargeable AA batteries with no problems. It has two levels of stabilization (land and sea), it seems the only difference is the amount of compensation they apply. I have used them from moving cars, samll airplanes, and boats with excellent success. I also have a friend who has a genetic hand tremor and they work for him as well.
I am a big fan of these binoculars and it is not because I am a Nikon bigot. All my professional camera equipment is Canon. I just tested the IS side by side and Nikon won. Try them yourself before buying the Canon.
Description of Nikon StabilEyes 14x40 Image Stabilization Waterproof Binoculars with Case, Neck Strap & Batteries
Exclusive Onboard/Land switchable modes!New for 2002, the Nikon Stablieyes 14 x 40 are designed specifically for boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts. The Stabileyes 14 x 40 is a roof prism binocular that corrects for both shake and roll. By simply changing modes, you can have a standard binocular that is optimized for handheld use in fairly stable conditions, or a stabilized binocular that provides completely stable images from your boat. The heart of Nikon's Stabileyes are the battery powered gimbaled servos that are actuated when the proper mode has been selected. Unlike many other stabilized pieces, the Stabileyes have been optimized as both a standard binocular and a stabilized binocular. All optical glass elements have been treated with multiple layers of anti reflective compound to provide true color in almost all conditions. Central focus design with an adjustable diopter. 209' field of view at 1000 yds.
