Ah, the power of magnification! The problem is, the greater the magnification, the steadier you have to be. Enough magnification, and even your heartbeat can make things bounce. But these binoculars have image stabilization built in, so the image stays steadier. Okay, it's not Luke Skywalker's binoculars yet, but they're working on it.
Like many modern binoculars, they have prisms to help shorten the length of the binoculars, so it won't feel like you're holding a pair of telescopes to your eyes. And the large 42mm lenses gather more light, making a brighter image.
You get water resistant rubberized grips, and the Canon reputation for quality optics. Whether you're a bird-watcher or a star-gazer, these binoculars should get the job done!

Our Take on the Canon 10x42 L IS WP Image Stabilized Binoculars:
The sturdy body design is ideal for outdoor use. Further, the water and fog-proof construction armors the device to withstand inclement weather conditions. Additionally, it offers an ergonomic grip, twist-up eyecups, right-eye dioptric correction that make the device ideal for comfortable viewing. Finally, the large center focussing knob further adds to the perfect viewing experience.
The Ultralow-dispersion glass elements, doublet field-flatteners, Super Spectra Antireflection Coating together render bright, high-contrast imagery and minimize distortions. Along with the in-built IS, there is a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount socket that allows steadier mounting and viewing.
The Binoculars require AA batteries as their power source; however, they can function as a regular binocular with batteries uninstalled. This is an added advantage for beginners and cost-conscious users. The neatly positioned single-activation button allows comfortable clicking using the right forefinger. Further, the 5-minute activation mode allows you concentrated, undistracted viewing.
