How is the HD different from the Professional 5 Plus series? What's the deal with this model?

I looked at the two for while too myself and decied that the only differance is that the HD model has a 475 watt motor and the plus had a 450 watt.

To me the 3597LTMHD is the best on the market. The 3d image is great. Traffic HD is fantasist. There is so many features to name. It also has a micro SD slot. This unit reroutes you with out saying recalculating, LOVE THAT. You want go wrong buying this unit. It is also voice activated. You tell it what you want to do and it does it. This unit has Blue Tooth.

I am not so sure what the "5 Plus" is...I have the pro model with a 6 qt bowl and the side swipe works very good and does a great job. The only thing that I don't like particularly is that it is more difficult to clean with the little "scrappers" on the sides but that is minor to the job it does of scrapping the side of the bowl. Hope this helps.

i personally don't see any point of needing an HD capable video camera for home videos, so i choose to go with the non-HD version. the HD version will take up twice as much hard drive space for the same length of video. HD video will also take longer to upload to online sites such as youtube. imo, you have to determine what your uses will be, and whether or not having high definition video capability for those uses is important to you.

I agree with the previous answer. I recently returned from a trip where I started alternating between a standard 8 GB Pro Duo and the new one...it seemed that my pictures were a bit sharper with the new card.

I have the HDA2 with a Hitachi PJ-TX100 which is a 720p projector. IMO the upgrade in PQ of HDVD vs Upconverted SD-DVD is quite noticeable and well worth the upgrade over my Oppo 971. HDVD movies look great and HD DVD video such as the Planet Earth series will knock your socks off even at "only" 720p. I've had several goose bump moments watching Planet Earth on my setup and I'm only 2 episodes into it.I'm shooting on a 92" screen with a seating distance of about 9 feet, just for reference.

I have both and I think the difference in picture quality is significant, especially for indoor shooting where you often have low light situations. After shooting HD videos, I was surprised how much grainier my older videos from Flip looked in comparison. The compression format is also different from the older Flip which helps compress the video despite the HD quality. The HD videos look so much better on my 17" LCD laptop than the older Flip videos. I also have Creative Vado HD, which I like due to the larger capacity and larger screen size for the same price range.

The replies here are correct, the HD only refers to the newer screen being LED and not CCFL. It is the best one in the 900 series but not best overall, if thats what you are meaning.

They look the same, but inside have some differencies: S50 Bluray, 4GB RAM, 500 Hard Disk, Win 7 and is more expensive than S55. I recommend S55; a relevant difference I see is the bluray player and that isn't more important than the processor or the hard disk.

I only own the "Professional" model. I have nothing to compare it with. But it works fine.

The MP4 compression you guys are talking about scares me, but the truth of the matter is I'm going to be out filming night-long firework shoots and half-hour interviews, not to mention I can't afford an 8GB SDHC card right now. Once I get some corporate money for my podcasts (yeah right!) then I'll start looking at HDV and crap, but right now I need to toss in my vote for the HD2 simply because I can shoot more video. It's a stupid reason, but that's it.

I've used the performance mode as well. It really depends on what you want. In pro mode I got better than stock, but not as good as the xl

Maybe because it isn't the "Pro" version--the Pro version has the higher-resolution QHD screen.

Probably easier to Google that question, but in a Nutshell, the Processor is at least twice the speed in the FHD. As well, the clarity of the screen (more pixels) is so much better. There is better WiFi connectivity (no drop outs and better connectivity range). For most people the inclusion of a decent 5 Mpx camera in the rear position is a huge plus. Thinner and better battery and lighter.What more can you want!!

the newer model has 1080p HD, and looks a lot cheaper. The old one is 720. They updated it 2 weeks after I got mine. still love it 2 years later. even though I have the 720 I don't need an upgrade. hope this helps
