Now not only do I have the highest resolution available, but add to that the best color saturation. I decided that the view through the 820 ED Audubons made up for the "updated" styling. My old Mark 2s have seen their share of birds, but the notion hit, and here comes the new kid on the block.
From my short experience looking through both, the ED makes a difference. It is not a miracle change, but noticeable. The updated coatings may help as well, but I would still rate the 804 (original) as one of the best bins ever. My two cents is that the ED glass is an improvement over the standard glass.
Anyone know if any of the current top-line compacts incorporate ED glass? I had heard on another post that some of the high-end models have used it without advertising.
BTW, the 804s will possibly be going on eBay shortly. I will entertain any offers.
