    I have used the Canon 10x42 in the Amazon rainforest on the one trip I've been on there, and found it much better for birds high in the...

    That is a tough one. The problem with a scope is that although it gives you more magnification, actually finding the bird in the scope...

    Yes you are right. It is quite tricky to bird here as the small birds are high up in the trees and due to the dense forestation, the...

    This is a difficult combo of problems to overcome. A IS binocular will show more detail even though actual image quality may not be as...

    I note that a major camera/optics retailer's website indicates that the 10x42L is "water resistant." Canon, of course, would have the...

    You've mentioned Canon 42L optics are excellent but you still went back to the alphas. Is the Canon not rich and sharp enough? I'm using...

    Actually these are completely waterproof, and nitrogen-purged. I know people who use these for marine purposes. I also feel the weight...

    I own two Canon IS binoculars -- 10x42L and 10x32IS. Of course, there are pros and cons to each; the 10x42L is much heavier and bulkier...

    Thank you for the review. Any idea how is it compared to Kowa 553/554?

    My current 8x42 is ok for general viewing and birding. Just that I see jittery movements which I'm quite annoyed of and a little more...

    Thank you for your reply. It great to know that the Canon is on par with Nikon in image quality. I usually use a utility belt with...
