Great binoculars, but you will need to use them with a support (such as a tripod). That is just too much magnification for most purposes as you will see the effect of vibration as it degrades the image. Anything higher than 10X or so is tough to use without support.

If you want to see the effect of binocular shake (vibration) go to a store that carries the Canon Image Stabilized binoculars and use them with the IS both on and off to read a distant street sign. You will be amazed at the difference. I would not recommend the Canon IS binoculars for hunting, as they feel somewhat fragile to me, but for high power viewing elsewhere (birding, star gazing, etc.) they are very good.
