Default Image stabilized binoculars

Does anyone here have and use them? I'm looking at Fujinon 14x40 and Canon
15x50 and 18x50. Input and experiences appreciated.




I've used a Canon 10x30 IS as my primary helm station binoculars for 6
years and have liked them a lot. The stabilization combined with
light weight allows me to read buoy numbers much further away than
normal 7x50's. Actually, the nicest thing is being able to see the
moons of Jupiter or Andromeda Galaxy.
