Q1: can these be used like regular binoculars with the stabilizers off until you need them or does the stabilizers have to be on the whole time you are using them. also is the button an on/off button or is it a timed thing. thanks
A: Yes, you can use these like normal binoculars without the stabilizer. The stabilizers are activated by an on/off button on the top of the binoculars. Thanks again.
Q2: How do these compare in height and weight compared to the 10X30IS model?
A: The canon 10x30IS dimensions are H 2.75 x W 5 x L 5.85 inches and the weight is 22oz. The 12X36IS dimensions are W 5.0 x L 6.9 x H 2.8 and the weight is 23.3 oz.
Q3: Are the new Canon 10x30IS suitable for a marine environment. Are they water resistent?
A: The 10X30IS is weather resistant, rain, sleet, snow, spray from water etc... but not water proof.
Q4: Thes binoculars are designated as mark II - how do they differ from the original 12X36?
A: these differ from the first version in one major way. these are made much smaller and lighter so that they are easier to hold than the first version was. The first was much more bulky so it was very hard to use one handed. they also made some small changes to the optical coatings that were used on the first versions, the new version is quite a bit brighter due to hthe higher light transmission with the new coating.
Q5: How can they be best used in astronomy?
A: Generally the larger the objective lens the better for astronomy but due to the stabilization of the image these are great for astronomy. The best way to use them though is still with a tripod for that though you do not have to.
