Nice, but why not just put an image-stabilized telephoto on a camera? I've lenses for my Fujis and Nikons that do the same as the Canon binoculars---and it _is_ cool when you see stabilization in action---plus you can take pictures.

IS binoculars are best for when you want to look up close with your eyeballs at a bunch of different objects right now in stereo retinal megapixel resolution and keep on looking until your eyeballs are tuckered out.

IS zoom lenses for cameras are optimal for when you know about how I might want to see a particular object up close, mainly for just a couple of 1/100th of a second intervals, but mostly later on after you get home and use software on it and whatnot.
