What we liked
- + Image stabilizer brings handheld 12x views that would otherwise shake
- + Good for spotting Jupiter's moons and star clusters without a tripod
- + Proven Canon IS design with a long track record among observers
Trade-offs
- - Older generation uses more battery than the newer power-saving version
- - Not waterproof, so protect it from dew and moisture outdoors
