Pros: Easy to use, simple to carry, image stabilization feature works great.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Bought these to see an In This Moment concert old man style. Balcony seats, 1st row, left front corner of the stage.
I could see definition that those on the floor could not. Great product.

Pros: The IS (image stabilization) really works. We use these mostly for birding, and can see details and identify birds that was impossible with our Nikon 7x Travelite. Image is bright and clear, and I don't see any color fringing. They feel very well made and are a pleasure to hold. Not too heavy for me or my wife, although they are larger and heavier than the travelight's, they are much more fun, and balance and fit the hand well. Two standard AA batteries last a very long time, and it can use Lithium or rechargeables, but the original alkalines are still going strong after months of regular use.

Cons: The included pouch is not padded, and only has one pocket. It would be nice to have a small pocket for spare batteries (if depleted the glasses still work, just not the image stabilization).

Other Thoughts: The 12 x 36 IS II model is only 1" longer and 1 oz heavier (but costs $200 more), but has a minimum focus distance of 20 vs 14 feet. I probably would have preferred them, but price was a consideration.
