Hi SB,

I’ve used the bushnell 10x50s, and their zoom bins. Both were fine and in the relatively inexpensive category. Much better in the day than at night though IMO.

I bought the canon IS 15x50’s about 2 years ago, and really love them. I also wouldn’t want to go back to a non image stabilized pair of bins for anything 10x and over. When you click the IS button, it is a wow moment. I can find objects much better, and am able to make out finer detail. Most people can tell the difference with a stabilized camera lens when taking photos, it really does help.

I easily use the canons more than any other Astro gear I own.
I wouldnt want my 7 year old to drop them though so a cheap 10x50 will also not go unused.

Best

Hemi
