FWIW- Canon 12X36 image stabilizer 'knockers' as my young nephew use to call them, has held up very well over the past 10 years. Takes 2 AA batteries and used every day to spot Eagles, boats, etc.
I would buy again _________________ John & Vicki Clark

I have had the Fuji 14x40 IS binocs for a few years now. I don't use them all the time but I keep the readily accessible and do use them frequently. Yes, they are big and heavy, but the image stabilization is superb and the image quality is also. I have used them to watch birds, boats and wildlife. All the reasons I am out on the water.
Bought new they were close to a boat unit, but with some points racked up at B&H they were worth it AND they come in a Pelican case. They are worth the money and even better if you can find them on a good deal.

I have a pair of Fujinon 10x50. Even with my employee discount at Captain's Nautical Supplies, they were expensive. 30 years later, I now know that they were a bargain. They are in better shape than this pair (which may be another bargain for somebody). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fujinon-fuji-MTRC-7-x-50-Binoculars-GREAT-BUY/123580724202?hash=item1cc5fc33ea:g:wFgAAOSwHEZcFAeb:rk:15:pf:0&LH_ItemCondition=3000
At the time, they were about the best night time light gathering binos available. Guests on board are still impressed. They are big, and on a CD 16 they seem kind of monstrous. The field of view is big enough so that I can't see too much advantage in stabilizing binos. Also, with an enclosed helm and a heater, maybe I don't shiver enough to need stabilizing binos.
