   Summary: Brightest binocular I ever used!
We bought this to bring to Everglades for birding and alligator watching and what a world of difference it is from my cheap compact one! The scope is so big and bright it makes looking into the binocular a pleasure and no longer strains the eyes. Sometimes I feel it's even brighter than seen with naked eye. The only drawback is it's larger and heavier than my compact one but I wouldn't mind this little inconvenience for the quality. I'm ready to toss out my old cheapie compact one...

   Summary: best in price range
There are better 8x32 water proof binoculars, but you would have to spend $XXX to get them (ie. Pentax DCF WP 8x32) or more. These binoculars are a great value at the price.

   Summary: Terrific all-around binoc
I bought these last year after a great deal of shopping around and comparing features and prices. Coated optics, high eye relief (to use with glasses), good light gathering, reasonable portability were important factors. I used them first on a trip to Canyon de Chelly and was constantly loaning them to others who found them better than their binoculars. The waterproofing lets me sit in the hot tub and stargaze without fear of moisture damage. I used them this summer while cruising on a boat in Puget Sound in preference to the boat's 7x50s because of their lighter weight. I just ordered a second pair for my wife to keep her from borrowing mine!

   Summary: nice for birding
I am a beginner birder but have had the good luck to use zeiss and leica binos. A friend was shopping for a set and he gave these pair a whirl, he was impressed and me valuing his opinion ordered them from ... After limited use I'm very happy with them. The negatives: heavy, large for 32's, minimum focusing distance of 19 ft could be a problem, my set focused as close as 15 ft. A minor annoyance is the putrid smell of rubber, a necessity due to the waterproof nature, hopefully it will go away. The eye cups are a bit too long, I prefer rolling them down even though I don't wear glasses. All in all, very nicely made and a lot of value for the money.

   Summary: Great Value All-Weather Binocular
The Canon 8x32WP is almost certainly the best waterproof binocular for under $200.00

The optics are great: good contrast, excellent brightness, and very little abberation at the periphery. The construction is solid: they are truly waterproof and the chassis is solid (I've dropped mine repeatedly with no misalignment). They are comfortable and easy to focus.

The additional brightness of these binoculars is a tremendous advantage over smaller units (say 8x24 or so). I bought a smaller pair of Minolta binoculars for my wife, and she fights me to use the Canon (she usually wins). You can find better binoculars, but not without spending double the money.

I highly recommend these for the active traveler, camper, hunter, or recreational boater. They will most likely last a lifetime of careful casual use.
