Message: <blockquote data-quote="PeterPS" data-source="post: 3599562" data-attributes="member: 124043">That's the MSRP. The MSRP for the 10x42s is 1999$!Regarding the suggestion that Canon might discontinue the current models, I do not think so---why should they? In fact the older 12x36s and 10x30s are still shown on their website along with their upgraded versions.Looking at the "picture" of the new 12x32, and taking the proportions into account, it appears that the distance between the rubber eyecups at the max IPD is about 23mm. For people who don't use glasses and who also have a small IPD (as well as a relatively wide nasal bridge), 23mm might not be enough.The eyecups of the 12x36s don't have this issue. The larger Canon's 15x and 18x appear to have the same type of eyecups as the new 32mm binoculars----can any users of the 15x or 18x comment on this aspect: are their eyecups comfortable for use without glasses?</blockquote>
