Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 8x32 Waterproof Binoculars w/Case & Neck Strap
Customer Review: Not perfect, but a great value
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these binoculars 4 1/2 years ago because they seemed like a good value for the money. I can definitely confirm that. The image is quite clear and very wide. 8x is a satisfying magnification for sports, birdwatching, sight-seeing and astronomy. Too much more and you really need either a tripod or image stabilization. Compared to cheaper lenses, these are noticeably better and compared to more expensive pairs from Nikon not any worse.
Now there are some problems that I had. They are deceptively heavy for their size. The original strap hurt my neck so I bought a padded strap that worked better. The case has a strap too, but I couldn't replace or remove that one since it was sewn not clipped to the case. Canon really should provide caps for the objective lens. It was annoying to roll the rubber eyepieces down to use them with sunglasses during the day.
Expect for the weight, I think the other problems are fixable. I suspect these are heavy because of the glass needed produce an excellent image in a very compact pair of binoculars. Also, the waterproofing and rubber armor that protect them add to their heft. I don't think I'd want to compromise any of the other qualities of these binoculars for the sake of a few ounces.

Although not designed for underwater use, these small, 8x binoculars are waterproof at 1-meter depth for up to 2 minutes. They incorporate nitrogen gas in the sealed interior to prevent lens fogging and fungus growth. The field-flattener lens provides improved edge-to-edge image resolution, a roof prism creates exceptional compactness and a rubberized non-slip body gives extra grip.Canon's 8x32 WP binoculars are rugged and waterproof, perfect for marine use or other activities in which you are bound to get wet. The nitrogen-filled construction protects the optics from fogging or damage. This model has 8x magnification, long eye relief, and wide-field viewing even in poor conditions. The multicoated Canon optics include a field-flattener for excellent edge-to- edge sharpness and contrast.
