"Compact at 5.4 x 6.9 x 3.4 inches and 36.8 ounces. Effective in low light." - Wired Magazine

The much-anticipated Canon 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 feature two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens elements (on each side) and 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. All of these exceptional features make the Canon 10x42 L IS WP ideal for a host of outdoor activities, including marine use, stargazing, and wildlife observation.

Professional Power

The Canon 10x42 Image Stabilized binoculars are the first from Canon to be engraved with the hallowed red L-series ring. This distinctive mark was, until now, reserved for Canon's finest professional photographic lenses, and symbolizes the pinnacle of Canon's 60-year heritage in precision optics design and manufacturing.

Raising optical performance standards, the binoculars feature two Ultra-low Dispersion glass (UD) lens elements on each side. These elements are developed by Canon, and are effective in eliminating chromatic aberration, which is the rainbow-like distortion that affects lesser-quality binoculars. The result is super-bright, high-contrast, 10x magnification viewing clarity.

Stability

To suppress vibrations caused by viewing handheld binoculars on moving vehicles or boats, the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars include Canon's Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer (IS). Tiny gyros detect the slightest movements, while a microprocessor controls a special prism to correct the refraction angle of incoming light.

All-weather

Crafted to survive the toughest outdoor conditions, the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars are fully waterproof. The design incorporates a distinctive easy grip for wet conditions, and a robust rubber coating to withstand all your adventures.

Anti-fog

To prevent fogging on internal lens elements caused by the ingress of moisture, all exterior surfaces are treated with a special metallic coating. This works in concert with special O-rings and use of waterproof adhesives on all external contact points to prevent water molecules permeating the outside casing.

Precision optics

All lens element surfaces are treated with Canon's Super Spectra coatings. These ensure vivid high-contrast images with accurate color balance. They do so by eliminating unwanted internal reflections that cause "ghosting" (secondary images) and "flare" (low-contrast, washed-out images). The exceptionally large 4.2mm exit pupil allows a bright field of view in low-light conditions.

Comfort

Every aspect of the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars is designed around viewing comfort. A wide 65-degree angle of view gets plenty of horizon into view, while a 16mm Long Eye Relief minimizes vignetting (or the "tunnel effect") that can affect prescription glasses wearers. A correction lock prevents unintentional dioptric correction errors, and the extending eye-cups can be rotated for customized fitting.
