Just to answer:
Lee - FOV isn't an issue to me for what I want from a binocular. I just thought others might appreciate a very basic comparison using both bins seconds apart and looking at the same objects. I'm more than happy with the Swaro SV FOV and on some occasions prefer a more limited FOV.
Bruce:
Strange as it may sound the colour saturation of both the SF and SV are fine for me, and if I had to choose any one I'd be content with either. But.....and for me....my real preference is the extra bit of saturation offered by the SV. I just think the SF is more neutral and 'realistic' - which is absolutely fine and many may seek that - but I prefer just that richer edge offered by the SV.
You can imagine the decisions between myself and my wife as to who is going to use which one when we go out.
I think in the end and avoiding any glamourising or exclamations that may be occurring for one over the other, they are both superb binoculars and any choice between them I'm sure will in the end be quite subjective. Maybe we should leave them as just being at the very top end of what's available, rather than one being 'better' than the other. I doubt if anyone would be disappointed owning either.
Hope that helps.
