No. This was yesterday in a Cabela's retail store with updated neck-strap attachments. Wish I had snapped a pic.

They tell me I should have bought the 10X50 instead of the 10X42.
As usual, I will ignore them and they will go away.
Turning that voice off is hard. I think it's our endless number of choices nowadays (not just limited to binoculars). It's hard to stay happy with your choice because you keep thinking of what you don't have.
I have not seen both, but the differences people report are probably not huge, especially in daytime viewing. Just remember that you have one of the best 10x42's in the world.
If you're not stargazing then the 10X42 is the way to go. I bought the 10X50 SV for stargazing but found it was excellent in daytime. However, when I picked up the 10X42 Zeiss SF I realized how much better a lighter model would be for daytime use. As it is, I use an 8X for most daylight use and the 10X50 for hawk watching and stargazing. When properly mounted (zero bin movement), star fields are glorious in the 10X50 SV. Then again, starfields are extremely impressive in my wife's 8X32 SV...again when properly mounted.Posts like this always make the voices in my head start up again.

Now they have started muttering about the new Leica Noctivid.
I apologize to any Leica fans here and I have no intention of stirring trouble, but my brain is tuned to automatically dismiss anything made by Leica, purely because of the poor warranty experiences others have posted. Of course there are a few good stories, but the general impression I get is that Swarovski and Zeiss are leagues better. I admit they make some handsome looking binoculars and I do hope the company becomes more accommodating to the customers in the future (hint hint if any Leica reps are reading).
Yes, it is the Huntsville store. I'm going by again this afternoon, at a minimum I'll get exactly which unit it is and a picture.
