I have had the Canon image stabilizers (10 power) for about 2 years, and
think they are fabulous. I bought them as a beginner, and they really
sharpened my interest because I could see the birds so much better. I'm in
the Northgate area, so reply to me off-list to arrange a meeting if you'd
like to try them. There's a Discovery Park walk this Sat at 8 that I could
meet you at.
