Message: <blockquote data-quote="BruceH" data-source="post: 3220586" data-attributes="member: 106398">I called Canon USA and was told by the agent that the fact sheet e-mail he received on the new 12X36 and 10X30 said the battery life was improved and the image stabilization system was improved.  He said there was no mention of lens coating changes.  I also asked if the 10X42 L was discontinued since it did not show up on the index page with other IS models.  He said it was not and can be found by doing a search.  He did not know why they do not display it.  The 10X42 L does show up on the Canon USA Online Store page and is in stock for a mere $1,999 and a refurb is $1,599.  Adorama is $1,350 for a new USA sourced model 10X42 L.Edit:  Removed comment.</blockquote>
