input J )

Here’s the million dollar question; If you had a choice of getting the Canon
IS 12x36 III (new model) or the Canon IS 10x42 binoculars, which would be your
pick (pretend cost is not a factor, ha ha)?

Hi Cindy,
I have the 12x36 Canons. Here's some more info
http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/binoculars/image-stabilizer-binoculars
http://garyseronik.com/?q=node/25
I have the older model of the 12x36 which is no longer sold - I'd expect that
newer is better when it comes to these. Street prices (e.g. Amazon) are at
least $100 cheaper than what's listed on the Canon site.

I think the StarBlast 4.5
<http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=102010> or the OneSky
<http://store.astronomerswithoutborders.org/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=4&zenid=hclkg2cao6qvctqegdd0rd4276>
(basically anything without a tripod) would also serve. Hard to beat a pair
of stabilized binoculars though for portability and usefulness.
