The reason these all work so well
is that they can be successfully handheld. I've read comments stating
that because of the stability, the 10x30's are comparable to what they
show to a pair of handheld 10x50's. For any binoculars, the wow
factor is based on the stability of how they're held. I like the
Canons because they don't need to be mounted.

Definitely a plus.
