Digital camera reviews of Canon 10x42 L Image Stabilization Waterproof Binoculars
Digital camera Review: Better for astronomy than other IS offerings by Canon
Summary: 5 Stars
What I liked:
1. Waterproof design
2. 6.5 degrees field of view
3. Superior workmanship. (I bought and returned the 18x50 from B&H after using it for a day)
4. UD glass
5. Hand holdable even without IS
6. Size and weight compared to 18x50 and 15x50
What I didn't like:
1. IS isn't perfect, small amounts of shakiness trickles through
2. Objective elements are...well, in harm's way. I bought two of Schneider-Kreuznach's clear MRC filters immediately. [..]
3. Eyecap and [lens|objective] cap design can be improved. The booklet instructs you to attach both to the neck strap but the eyecap is so loose that minor movements can make it come off
4. Frequent blackouts even with the large exit pupil, so scanning the skies isn't too easy
5. Grinding feeling when rotating the eyepiece for adjustment.
This is a good general purpose binocular because it seems durable and is waterproof, optics are usable for astronomy.
Summary of Canon 10x42 L Image Stabilization Waterproof Binoculars
The much-anticipated 10x42 L IS WP is the first waterproof binocular to incorporate Canon's exclusive Image Stabilizer technology for steady, shake-free viewing. The high quality L series optics, featuring 2 Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens elements (on each side), deliver excellent correction for chromatic aberration. With a large lens diameter and a 4.2mm exit pupil diameter, this binocular provides an exceptionally bright view, even in low-light conditions. The 10x42 L IS WP binocular offers both the desired brightness and excellent waterproof capabilities, making it ideal for a host of activities including marine use, stargazing and wildlife observation - just to name a few.Optics
