Canon 10x42 L IS WP binoculars with optical image stabilization

Canon Binoculars 10x42 L IS WP with image stabilization

The flagship of Canon's binocular range.

Canon Binoculars 10x42 L IS WP are waterproof binoculars with IS image stabilization that brings distant objects 10 times closer.

The 10x42L IS WP binoculars are the first Canon model to feature the red ring familiar from L-series camera lenses. This indicates that the binoculars have used the lens technology familiar from L-series lenses. The binoculars' two UD lens elements effectively reduce chromatic aberration, which is typical of lower-quality optical solutions. The result is a very sharp image with good brightness and improved contrast.

Optical image stabilization effectively reduces image shake and vibration, which occurs when using binoculars handheld or in moving vehicles. Sensors in the stabilizer detect even the slightest movement and a microprocessor controls the prism, which corrects the angle of refraction of incoming light, keeping the image stable. Thanks to the extremely low power consumption, the binoculars can be used continuously for up to 9 hours on the same batteries.

Designed for demanding weather conditions, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars are water-resistant. The binoculars provide a good grip even in wet environments, and the sturdy rubber coating withstands even harsh conditions.
