The Canon 10x30 IS II is an image stabilized binocular with 10x magnification and 30 mm objectives. It uses a vari-angle prism system and has a 60 degree apparent angle of view and a centre focus wheel. Field of view is 104.58 m at 1000 m, and it weighs 601 g. It runs on two AA batteries.
Our take
The 10x magnification with vari-angle prism stabilization is the pairing to note: the stabilizer works on the shake that 10x magnifies. It weighs 601 g and runs on two AA batteries, so it is a powered instrument and the cells need to be fresh.
From our buying guide
Steiner calls 7x the marine standard. Higher magnification narrows the field of view and makes the image more sensitive to hand shake.
Check before you buy:
- The water rating comes with its depth and time, since ratings vary widely between makers.
- The maker says what floats, the body or only a strap, since some make no flotation claim at all.
- A stabilised pair has a water rating you're happy with, since not every one carries a waterproof rating.
