This or the Sony SS2300? They are pretty much the same spec-wise, this one is just newer?

I compared the owners manual of the HTS-S360 online to the manual I have for my HT-SS2300. It looks like the S360 has had many features stripped down from the SS2300. The biggest cut was made by removing several music sound fields. The Hall, Jazz Club, Live Concert, and Stadium sound fields were eliminated and a "News" sound field was added. The Cinema Studio movie sound fields were also stripped down to a single conventional "Movie D.C.S." sound field. Other changes were made to the remote being basically stripped down but added more BD/DVD functionality. The front panel of the receiver also had most of the buttons eliminated except for the master volume and input selector buttons. The Auto Cal jack was placed in the back of the receiver this time. The AMP menu has had several changes, mostly with it being reorganized, but I thought it made it more complicated in my opinion. Some new things were added, but I thought they were irrelevent for the most part like a volume limit feature the Sleep Timer in the AMP menu. The only thing I liked was that Sony simplifed the HDMI settings in the AMP menu. Other than that, everything else has remained the same including the same speakers and subwoofer. Overall, it seems like Sony has stripped down this year's Blu-ray matching HTIB.

Significant difference between the two cameras - if you have the opportunity exchange them. Big differences are Much improved video, Weight, Quality of photos, Options - The SL! is basically the identical camera to the T5i in a much smaller package - Basically the SL1 is 2 to 3 generations newer than the T3 - I had a T1i and When the T3 came out I did not upgrade as it offered few advantages over the T1i. I have the SL1 - Love it - a significant upgrade.

I have the Sony. (Took 3 thousand photos and video on an international trip). It is mostly fine, but there are 2 complaints with which I agree on the message boards. 1. Blue purple tint and glare from the lens coating in bright sunlight. 2. In general, not perfectly sharp pictures usually. (I have 5 year old Kodak 5mp that is often more sharp). The good...amazing motion stabilization. 'Able to take photos in almost any light condition without the flash!! I also have some good photos from moving vehicles. Very compact and no protruding lens or lens motor. Quick startup. HD movie is ok also. Acceptable battery life. FYI. There are assorted complaints about the Canons also. I have now read enough not to expect perfect photos from ANY point and shoot, but like you, I hate to drag around that Nikon. (You might try one of the new cameras with a bit larger sensor, like 4 3rds).

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

Thanks Technology Guy...I have one more question since you guys know what you are talking about. I was just reading a lot of great reviews about the Canon PowerShot S90, it sells for the same price of the new Sony so price wouldn't be an issue. I'm just wondering from the Sony HX5V or the Canon PowerShot which one will be a better buy.

It's all subjective. I personally selected the W230 over the W220 and W290. I needed the 3 inch LCD view on the back. It was the best fit for me, in the Sony line. My old camera only had 1 inch LCD. I do think the larger the LCD the more drain on the battery. But I compromised to accommodate my poor eye sight.. Good Luck

I am looking at both of these models as well. I bought a Samsung 42" LCD 2.5 years ago and it is now failing. (Estimated repair cost for 1 of the 3 problems it is now having is $850.) Not a good track record for my money. So, I will probably go with the Sony. Has anyone had any repair problems with the Sony LCD's?

Hi BelleBelleH can you please tell me what the Sony model/type you found that is similar to the JVC? Thank you.

s95 is a great option if you only take up close pictures . When it comes to have the best package for all different activities , the sx230 is the one to go with . I personally prefer the sx230

Thank you for your post. It helps me know the Sony is the right one for me.

They are the same, except the cheaper one comes with an HDMI cable and the more expensive one does not. Logical, no, but they are exactly the same. I checked with Sony before I purchased.

Really the only difference are as such: The more expensive unit has 7.1 analog outputs, a RS-232 connection and like you stated, the extended warranty... I also think it might have another level of picture enhancement, but i am not sure about that.

I purchased both these cameras at the same time, the sony at my local best buy and a panasonic on amazon. They are pretty close to the same, the sony has a little more true color indoors but the panasonic has more vibrant colors outdoor. The sony looks a little more washed out outside. I was impressed with both cameras low light recording. The image stabilizer worked a little better on the sony I thought, the problem I have with the panasonic is that it almost tries to overcorrect the shake. It seemed any time I used the touch screen while recording (ie...zooming) I notice a slight jump in the picture. I think with a little practice I can eliminate this by how hard I tap the screen, but it's touchy. I didn't seem to have that problem with the sony. The panasonic gets a little warm in your hand, but considering I use it in a hockey arena it doubles as a hand warmer! The panasonic comes with a video light and a hotshoe and u have more manual settings. The software that comes with both is crap, plan on buying third party editing software no matter wich way u go. Is the difference worth the $70 more I paid for the sony? probably not, I can buy an extra battery and SD card for the pan. If you could find them for about the same price though, I would go for the sony.

Agree w/ comments below. Buy a current model. I picked up a Sony after my Samsung crashed for about $105

I was going to buy this one too, but if the price stays over $400, I'll get the Olympus XZ-1. The main benefit of the S95 for me is price!

I'm not familiar with that model. However I am totally happy with the PS210. It has great active noise reduction and good sound quality. I'd buy it again
