Anyone with the Beamer 3, which do you think is a better product and why?
883881
Don't know that I can answer your question as I have a Beamer 5. If you are thinking of using the Beamer 3 as a headlight I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed as my Beamer 5 doesn't illuminate the road ahead of me very well and would assume the Beamer 3 would operate to even a lesser degree in that use. I purchased the Beamer 5 as a means of making myself, as a cyclist, more visibile to motorists. I have it mounted on my helmet and, believe me, in the 5 plus years I have had the light it has, on numerous occasions, caught the attention of motorists intersecting me comming out of streets and driveways as it follows mine line of sight and puts the bright strobe light in the face of drivers who are not looking for cyclists. I like to think it has kept me a great deal safer than if I wasn't using the light. I can attest that the workmanship on my Beamer is of the highest quality and I've never had a problem in over 5 years in daily use even in very wet Seattle where I ride my bike. Hope this helps.

Personally I don't see enough difference between my 1st generation and the last to warrant a change. If photo quality is your concern then maybe it's a difference. I have photos and they are more than good enough for me. Like I said, what are you using it for and what apps are most important to you (personal preferences). I haven't found anything that I wold consider to be a show stopper between the first and last. I prefer the first, second and third generations size and sturdiness to any after that.

I've seen the W3000 side by side with XBR. I don't like the XBR. It makes movies look like stage shows. Very disconcerting if you like movies. The "3D" effect they talk about makes movies look like video -- if you know the distinction. (If you watch sports more than movies, you will probably like the XBR more.) I almost bought an XBR because "MotionFlow" sounded good... I was stunned when I saw them side by side. Also happy, because I'll save almost a grand by buying a 52W3000 rather than XBR! Do yourself a favor and find them in a store so you can look. Some people like the XBR 3D effect. I really don't. I've seen the W3000 side by side with XBR. I don't like the XBR.

Fortunately I have access to both and did a pretty thorough review of them on my blog site at http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=64. Hope this helps, I like both devices but they are different and which one to get really depends on what you are looking for which I breakdown in my review. Sean

I would assume the Rev. 3.0 boards are the more advanced ones in their line(more worth a purchase), but I have no clue. I did some Googling, had trouble finding much info on it. :<

Neither. Have tried out both and neither compares to the Optima HD 25e or 25-LV (brighter lamp). Optimas have 1. More advanced image chips, 2. Brighter output 3. Quieter cooling fans (much). In a side by side comparison, I found their projectors to be in a class above the Epson & BenQ.

However I would recommend getting an mk808 instead. I have both and the performance is WAY better on the 808, definitely worth the extra $10 even if you're only using it for powerpoint. Mk808: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009OX22B4/ref=pd_aw_sims_e_15

Nope. Not at all. If you looking for a projector for outside. 3lcd is the brightest projector for outside. Don't use DLP for outside they suck.

honestly, that is where this pointer comes up a little short. It's functionality for things other than slide advance and pointing is sketchy. the intention is there, but depending on how often you are going to use it you might be disappointed. I use it for irregular presentations, but my partner upgraded because he presents elaborate powerpoints for a living.

I am sorry you are having problems. I also ordered this projector, but promptly sent it back as I was dissatisfied with it. I recommend you do the same. I ordered a different model and am very happy with it. I use it for Keynote presentations as well as showing movies. I could never have done that with this model you have. I then ordered the Optoma W303, yes, more expensive, but IMHO well worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for, if you don't pay much, you don't get much".

Now we're getting into personal preference. I own both, and am happy with the sound of both speakers - but I like the added punch of the Mini, and prefer its bass response to that of the III. Overall, I'd say the III is better balanced, but they're close enough in sound that I'm thinking about returning the III - the Mini covers my needs. Besides, the III is $100 more than the Mini, and it's not nearly $100 better. Setting sound aside, the Mini has better build quality and it's more portable.

V1 Viewer is really really bad, I've got one, it's useless. V3 Viewer is nice (I've got one too), with better resolution, its quality looks like the 3D screen on the back of the camera Fuji W3. It can play 3D photos AND 3D videos ! Don't buy a V1, you will be disappointed. Sorry, my english is very poor (I'm french)

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

Yong Nuo YN568EX, what model of better beamer would be compatible for this speed light?. Thanks

No, the main issue with the 3 is it's tendency to falsely signal a laser lock on. I would stick with the 2.

They both have beautiful color reproduction and both have a nice glossy finish.For durability of finish I don't know if there's a difference.I've had good success with both as far as data burning!I would probably go with the cheapest one ehin I repurchase!
