Stabilized Binoculars

I have sailed my new to me Helms 25 for a year now and realize the importance of a good set of binoculars. My wife and I use a pair of small stadium binoculars and a standard set. We find them to be almost useless on the boat, due to the constant movement. Have any of you used stabilized binoculars? If so, what make, features and power would you recommend. I did a search on this site for info, but didn't find much.
I found this site http://www.binoculars.com/specialty_...tabilized.html and saw that the Cannons came down in price. Does anyone use the Cannon’s? Although waterproof is important, our existing sets are not and it hasn't been an issue with the type of sailing we do.

Thanks for your input.

Wayne
