Occasionally one or two of our pelagic observers have used image stabilized (gyro) bino's (not sure what brand) and it seems they are bulky and the users are nearly always looking for batteries.

Pentax now have a very impressive 15 megapixel camera with image stabilizer (K20D) at humane prices and combined with a 300 mm lens, this seems the way to go.

While there is a thread on buying optics I was wondering if anyone has had any 
experience with Canon's 10x42 Image Stabiliser waterproof  binoculars. Any 
thoughts about these binoculars appreciated.
