Indeed the Canon's do weigh less. I don't find the Fuji's heavy to carry around on a hike and for the extra weight they're waterproof, they have a better build quality feel, and from what I've read Fuji has the best stabilization of them all. It'll be interesting to do a side-by-side comparison with my dad's 12x36 Canons. With shipping, the Canon's cost me a little over $500. We did a little test viewing before gifting them and really liked the IS viewing. The Canons got me looking at the stabilized binocular options and I decided to give the Fujis a try based on the waterproofing and Fuji's overall high ratings for binocular optics. Since this appears to be a rare opportunity for a direct comparison I'll want to spend a day in the field and also do some low light and night viewing. I'll try to get a report back sometime this summer.
