Many thanks, I have narrow IPD, so canon will be suitable for me. From what I've read do you think that canon 10x42 has more 3D and sharper image compared to SLC 10x56?
Maybe on the IPD being suitable for you.
The Canon 10X42 has a large diameter eyecup. Depending on a person's facial structure and nose width, that can cause a fit problem for someone with a narrow IPD.
For purposes of comparison, the approximate outside edge diameter of the Canon eyecup is 45mm. This compares to approximately 41mm for a Swarovski 10X50 EL SV. Sorry, but I do not have any 56mm SLCs to compare but maybe someone else can supply a measurement.
You mentioned that the Cannon may be sharper than the SLC. I am not sure what that is based on. At the price points of these models, I suspect both will out resolve the vision of most. I do not recall reading about sharpness issues in general with the new EL or SLC models. Do you know your corrected vision?
