The Canon 12x36 IS III is a porro-prism binocular with Canon's optical image stabilization built in, which steadies the view at a magnification that is normally hard to hold by hand. It weighs about 23 oz and runs on a battery, so it is heavier and more complex than a plain 12x binocular but far steadier. The 36 mm objectives keep it compact for a 12x glass, and the 5-degree field of view is narrow compared with wide-field 10x models. It suits birders, travelers and stargazers who want more reach without a tripod; reviewers rate the stabilization and optics highly but note the narrow view and battery dependence.

Owners rate it highly, with the stabilization the standout feature: it turns a shaky 12x view into a steady one. Complaints center on the narrow field of view, the battery requirement and the weight.
