Default Canon IS 15 x 50 binoculars?

I agree with all the above, and I LOVE them. I carefully compared the
15x50 IS's with a friend's 15x70s, and I concluded it was true, as the
S&T article revealed, that the stabilization feature allowed a greater
integration time on the retina. They equalled the 70s--hand held--on
faint objects. And Albireo was resolved hand held as well. Keepers.
Did I say I LOVED them?

The only down side was when turned off, the active-wedges flop into an
off state that can show signifcant "color wedge".
