This is my first post to the forum, so please treat me gently if I'm getting this in the wrong place.

I live on a lake where we get a wide variety of water foul. It is not unusual to be viewing birds from 200 yards or more, so I have an interest in higher powered binoculars that can be used handheld. As such, I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with the Fujinon 14X40 Techno-Stabi image stabilization binoculars? The owner reviews I've read on-line seem to be quite positive, but I couldn't find a single post here that refers to them.

Is there any reason I wouldn't want to use these for birding (aside from the obvious weight and somewhat narrow FOV)? Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Dean
