I had a new Canon 10x42 IS-L at the same time and I compared it closely over many days and I actually preferred the optics of the SV and the ergonomics and weight of the SV were way more convenient so it was a no brainer to keep the SV. I like the Field Pro package although many don't. It is easy to attach the strap and the strap doesn't get twisted as easy being able to rotate. It is also easy to adjust the length. The permanently attached objective covers and improved rainguard are a big improvement IMO.The big thing improvement I really like is the feel of the armour on the new FP. It just has a quality feel to it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
