Panasonic TX5A - Blue: Is there any difference between the Panasonic TZA5 Blue, Black of Silver except color???

No. The "A" just indicates the blue color. I called one of these vendors and asked.

Sorry I missed your question earlier, but hopefully you can change your mind about the Panasonic. Viera has awful color and any SD source just looks atrocious. My experience with this SONY is that most SD cable looks sharp and clean, with good motion handling and less noise that you'd expect from the typical LCD. It all depends on how you're viewing your SD cable. Most cable providers send digital, analog, and HDTV network channels thru their line. I have a splitter on my cable line, sending one output to the set's RF input and the other to my cable box and then thru S-video cable. SD cable boxes today are mostly SD-digital. The digital SD stations actually look quite good, far better than you'd expect from an LCD. SD-DVD is even better, and BluRay looks best if your player can downscale to 720p (the SONY's own built-in 1080 downscaler is likely not as competent as the one on your BR player). The HD feeds thru your cable line look outstanding with 1080, 720, nd even 480 signals -- pure analog SD thru that line is tolerable, but not nearly as crisp as the SD-digital versions of those same channels. Thru your cable box, pure analog stations look a bit grim, red, and undersaturated; but digital-SD stations look very clean, almost as nice as SD-DVD. I'd avoid the Panasonic. In fact, this SONY might not be perfect (you'll have to use the RGB controls to tone down the really heavy Red), but it's the best 26" LCD I've seen in a while. Samsung makes a 26" that looks good in reviews, but build quality and reliability are extremely poor, and the Samsung suffers from motion artifacts that look much worse than with the SONY.

Sorry yes I meant FZ35 Panasonic, right, thanks for your advise I will follow your recomendations, I am getting the camara this week but I am a newie and I will take any advise to do things right. I am reading a book about digital photographic because I want to do the best I can with it. I read in others forum that people use also son type of camara filters to change colors when taking pictures. Did you any idea, let me know everything I will need for your experience to take the maximun from my camara. Thanks. Ed

I got only the one with black inside. I can't speak to the difference between the black and blue versions. However my experience with the black version has been very positive.

I had the same question. Looks like the only difference is color. I ended up ordering the black.

I am in your same boat...trying to choose between a samsung pn58b650 vs. panasonic tc-54v10. Panasonic is 58" and now several hundred cheaper (with coupon code). I keep going back and forth...any help out there? Is panasonic better than samsung...as is generally stated? thanx in advance for any feedback.

all the next gen models are all black if it has silver trim its the previous version but both are called XDA-2 which is confusing. so this one is the next gen version

The Sony web site says that the silver version is only available on thier site (directly from Sony) so buying this camera new from anywhere else you should expect to only get a black one.

It is available in black, white, and silver; however, all of the extra lenses only come in black at this time. Amazing camera. I am not an experienced photographer and the pictures are amazing. This camera is super easy to use. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a DSLR camera without all the difficult settings.

For all practical purposes, no. The sets are almost identical, although Samsung advertises a different contast ratio for each: the 530 at 20k to 1; the 550 at at 30k to 1; and the 540 at 35k to 1. Contrast ratio specs are dubious at best and such slight differences would not be apparant, perhaps not even to the most discriminating viewer. All these sets have a fast response time (5ms) and good, solid black levels. Any one of them will produce a spectacular picture. Newer 40-inch sammys have higher contrast ratios and claim a 4ms response time (for more money of course). I still don't think you could tell the difference. Go to the Samsung website. You can compare specs on any three sets of your choice. For all practical purposes, no.

It looks like the only difference is the colors. The PB0 is blue, and the PK0 is black. :)

I am choosing between the Panasonic DMP-BD55K and Samsung BD-P2500. This is how I see it:For the DMP-BD55K:Audio decode includes DTS-HD Master Audio. Samsung does not today, but they claim an upgrade will be available by the end of the year.Great reputation for Blu Ray player stability and compatibility. Samsung has had a reputation for disc incompatibility, slow firmware updates and some reliability issues.For the BD-P2500:Netflix supportCheaper by about 30 bucks on Amazon.EqualBoth have 7.1 AnalogBoth do DVD upscale very well. Samsung has HQV, which should in theory make it better, but in practice the Panasonic does just as well.I'm leaning Panasonic because I trust the brand more, but the Samsung is still very tempting.

Found an article I think might be what you are referring to: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/282860-32-blue-black

I bet the difference is the KX-TG155SK is a Sam's and Costco only. I saw the KX-TG155SK at Costco today and decided to look it up. On the Panasonic site, I searched locations for KX-TG155SK and it listed only Sams' and Costco locations. I was also looking at the KX-TG7645 before I went to Costco.

I've used a Saitek Eclipse II for years. I've had this Perixx now for a day and it's almost exactly the same. The main difference, aside from branding, is the lack of silver detailing, no silver bar on the spacebar, and obviously (like the picture) it is black on black. The Saitek seems to have slightly smoother key response and a glossier feel to the keys, but the differences are very slight. Oh and the Windows keys are different: no circular indexing imprint on the Perixx. If you liked the Saitek Eclipse II, then you'll be happy with this one.

I noticed that my silver colored camera seemed to be thinly coated with clear lacquer that easily got nicked. The black one is most likely made of hard and durable plastic, hence the difference I price.

I have the red and a friend has the black and they are equally sturdy cameras. The black is a dull finish and the red is a shiny finish which might be why it looks like they are made from different materials. I think the color and finish is just a preference. My friend and I both love our cameras.
