Luigi ,
That was exactly the impression I thought I'd come away with following several separate cursory trials with both the 10 x 30 and 18 x 50 Canons , a few years ago .
Last weekend I took the opportunity to spend a bit more time with a Canon 12 x 36 IS Mark2 , and that only confirmed the same impression as you have .
To MY eyes , in the DAYTIME , the image quality is so noticeably superior with the stabilisation OFF , that I can barely believe that not everyone else who owns them thinks so , too !
I considered it could have been due to flattened batteries or some kind of fault , but it's rightful owner , a fellow CN member , couldn't notice any difference in sharpness or clarity with the IS button ON or OFF ! ?
Regards
Kenny
