Should I buy this TR3000 or the 1200 one? They seem awfully similar to me based on the descriptions. Only real difference is price. WWYD?

It was a tough decision. The 3000 was heavier (smoother ride) and had a longer warrantee so I didn't purchase and extended warrantee. Been very happy with the 3000. Used daily by myself and my wife (neither of us are very big or go very fast).

On the brochure, it says it recommends the tr3000i for up to 20 hours of weekly use. The person who delivered and put it together said he only had a couple of people complain about their 1200i, and it was because they were using it heavily so should have gotten the 3000i. I can't find any information about what the recommended weekly usage for the tr2000i is. When the store sold me the unit, they also said that tr3000i and tr4000i is basically the same except the motor. The frame and console is the same, so I felt that it was worth the $300 for a better frame, better motor, and 5 years for parts. I hope this helps!

Not sure, but I love the one I got. Very sturdy. It gets used daily and is holding up well

The TR3000i has a slightly larger drive motor, a higher capacity incline motor, slightly higher top speed, a thicker deck with more suspension points, a slightly higher max. user weight, and a better warranty. I knew I would be happy with either unit but felt that the differences were worth the $500 price difference. I highly recommend the chest strap heart rate monitor and don't forget to order some silicone belt lubricant as it is not included. Hope that helps. I love mine.

TR3000 it's the best folding treadmill. TR3000 you can plug in your ipad and watch TV while walking uphill! I love mine...you get what you pay for!

TR3000i has a higher horse power so it goes faster, runs smoother, and can hold up heavier people. It also has more cushioning for your feet, a thicker deck that will last longer (1 inch vs 3/4), and it has a longer warranty for parts (5 years vs 3).Only real downside is that it's 20 pounds heavier because of the bigger engine. Also if you buy a treadmill GET A MAT. Otherwise say goodby to your floors and carpets. I use this one to protect my houseProImpact Treadmill Mat #PF36786BLG10

The Technics 1200 is good, but one must make sure it was designed for 78rpm. I purchased a used one that is only wired for 33 and 45 rpm. It can be modified but a new one can be purchased that includes 78 rpm. One does need a 78 rpm needle that has a larger radius, and the recommended cartridges provide a higher voltage signal that may not need a preamp.

HI,The SR 300 will have a 6.1 MP vs the SR100 has a 3.0 MP.....I think the SR300 is going to be much much better....now I can throw away my digital camera because 6.1 MP is excellent but 3.0MP is to low. Also this is going to have the latest high tech processer and stablization system. oh, also you can take a picture while you are video recording.Frank

My local Costco has the 60st30 for $1199 (plus 2 year warranty) so I am most likely going for that for bang for the buck. If I can get the 65st30 for $1499 or less I'll go for that. I expect to make my purchase in 2 weeks max.

Better. No comparison. 3000 is a solid unit, hassle free. But that unit is old,there are other options in that price range now... check out the numark. Or see if you can find a used m audio xponent. Owned that one for years.... way superior to either.

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh. Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.

One difference is cost. The trx seems to be more durable and easier to adjust, but the Woss unit that I got ended up being about fohrty dollars with shipping.

Bought one around Christmas and absolutely love it. Just found one at W----rt for around $300. Cheapest I've found since, even cheaper than ebay. Good luck.

TR77 has a shorter barrel, 200fps more and costs about $60 more. Both good, but I like my fury better.

Ended up buying canon T1i instead of T3... will be in my hands next week. Bought it from Walmart for 629. Amazon price was 709 for the same camera. Letting you guys know if anyone is interested in buying Canon T1i. it is a 15MP camera with 720p video at 30fps and 1080p with 20fps. I really don't care for video part but it was really good deal compared to what best buy or amazon was asking for same camera.

PD,Thanks for a really informative review. I'm in the process of trying to make this decision. I'm getting a 70-200. I just don't know which one. On your 2.8 w/o IS, and adding a 1.4 teleconverter, do you miss the IS? I know you said you use a tripod or monopod a lot. Is that how you overcome that? Or do you find yourself still able to shoot hand-held? I'd love to get that combination of the 200 + 1.4tc.Thanks!

I'm debating between the SX230 and the 300HS. I love the GPS feature in the 230 but am worried about bad battery life with it on. I also love the great zoom on the 230. On the other hand, I already own 3 NB-4L batteries that I can use as spares for the 300HS and it will fit perfectly in the case I have for my 1100 (that will be retired by whichever new camera I decide to buy).

Thanks for your review and great job on the research. I need your opinion on something. Although, the current price of the XT and and XTi is less than $200.00. difference, the List price is the XTI is twice as much as the XI. I kind of agree that the XTi isn't really much of an upgrade over the XTi and some of the superior features of the XIT I'm not really to concern about except the 8MP and 10MP. I'm not a proffesional or anything like nor I plan to do large prints, but should I pay those extra bucks just for 10MP? Please help anyone.

Even I had the same confusion which out of 3 to buy. I called up the Sony Customer Care and compared all the features of all the 3 Cameras. I would feel 290 woud be best choice as it has 5x zoom but it doesn;t have viewfinder which may not be required also. Difference between 290 ans 300 is it has a viewfinder but has few scenic modes compared to 290 and less zoom too (3X). Apart from touch screen functionality , all the other features are same in T900 . I talked to the Best Buy guys too. According to them the lens in W series is much better than T series. Hence I have ordered W290 pack from amazon.

The speed is more variable on the 1200 model. If you examine enlarged pictures of both, you'll see a dial on the 1200 that is not on the 1000.

I could not justify spending extra for the 300hs. I have been using the 100hs for 3 weeks now with no complaints. I do not take much video but overall I am happy with my purchase. I was able to pick up the 100HS when Amazon had the one day sale on gray for 159 out the door.
