Difference between Hoya 58CIR or Hoya HMC ? Trying to decide between the regular Hoya Circular Polaraizing Filter or the HMC.

Thank you, Ken. I'm new to digital photography. I'm grateful for folks like you who take the time to answer an amateur's question in such explanatory detail and depth.Billie

Skip the UV filter entirely and just keep the polarizer on the lens. UV filters are useless, while polarizers are the most useful filter you will ever have... both outdoors and indoors. Depending upon which polarizer you purchase, they will not subtract much if any more light than a UV filter, (the Hoya HD filters are the best, but expensive). I would never shoot anything without a polarizer.

In days past Tiffen was a good quality middle of the road (cost) filter. They've cheaped them up to point I wouldn't own one. Hoya is a similar filter. The best filter's I've used over last 45 years are by B + W.

Bought this a long time ago, but have not used it much - CP filters are very "personal" - you like them or you don't - Some are warmer, some cooler, and the more expensive ones usually don't seem to change the relative color intensities like many of the cheaper ones (which can make the whole picture seem quite artificial). I'm afraid it's pretty much trial and error trying to find something that you prefer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The difference is that one has HEPA filter and the other one doesn't. If you are going to use it inside a house, the HEPA one is better.

B&H; photo recommends a 58MM haze filter on their Fuji mirrorless cameras with 18-55 filter. If you have questions look up their website, their online staff is very knowledgeable. In my experience the B+W filters are better made (and more expensive). The threading for lenses is universal so you could go with Hoya or others

Hi, I bought these filters in Amazon Hoya 49mm Digital Filter Kit With UV(C), Circular Polarizer & NDx8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00374SVEI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1). Those works and fit perfectly.

Our unit is the RHD800 and have been very happy with its operation. In reading the info on HDR565 appears the only difference, other than color, is the lack of bun warmer. If funds are an object I would go with the 565. The bun warmer on the 800 is ok but no great thing. Also, I have seen prices from $21 to $75 for both these units. Amazon has best price. We have been happy with how dogs are cooked. Keep in mind when the info says 8 dogs at a time, they mean 8 regular not longs. Hope this was helpful.

Glass is sharper, and the sharpness is broader in the middle Vs. the plastic one only being very sharp almost completely in the center. The glass lens also has less of the barrel distortion. I'ts simply about preference, typically people purchase the holga cameras for the distortion ability...

Only better if you already have other 58 mm filters..... if you already have other 67mm filters, then you should purchase the 67mm.I own (3) SX series cameras, & all three use 58mm filters...on purpose. I perfer a filter that obviously fits the 58mm lens barrel & not an over-size 67mm. I have had no vignetting problem with all the 58mm filters.

Good question and something I had not looked for when I purchased the filter since it has become customary for all high end filters to be Multi-coated. I had to go to the Hoya website and saw that the filter is designated as DMC (Digital Multi Coated). I have always had good results with Hoya.

I don't think there is any difference there. But my suggestin don't buy either. Better buy 798H secura. It's way better plus it's self cleaning. I got 997MC and I am tired of cleaning Regret regret and regret that I got it.

I erroniouslly purchased the non coated version for my wife. She is a sunrise/sunset photographer. The non coated version allowed significant lense flare when pointed into the sun. While on vacation, we met another photographer who had the coated UVA filter. She had the same problem we did, only bought the MRC and hasn't had a problem since. I have since purchased a B+W UVA MRC filter for her, among other stupidly expensive filters, but I have wasted enough money buying items "on the cheap" for her hobby to know that you get what you pay for. I buy B+W exclusively for her 5D Mk ii and L series lenses.

My Hoya filter box was not sealed. The filter is wonderful... my photos are clearer than they were with the cheaper filter from another manufacturer that I bought with the lens. I am happy with the Hoya filter.

Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website. I missed that detail in the comparison. Normally I'd say I wouldn't notice the difference in quality, but given I'll be putting this on my 56 inch HDTV, I bet it will be noticeable. The HF100 does feel cheaper. The extra bulk from the HDD makes the unit more managable. That plus the menu makes it less appealing.I would say the extra $65-70 is justifiable given the 60gb of included space, especially considering if you can get your hands on a 32gb SD card you'll be paying well over $100. Maybe in a year it will be <$100, but by then these camcorders will be cheaper anyway. I've made up my mind on the HG20! Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website.

The big difference is that they added a Hepa filter to this machine. But, there are several reports about the Hepa filter on this vacuum does not work & mostly leaks. See the reviews herein on Amazon. If these are true, what a scam Eureka is imposing on it's customers.. I wonder if Eureka has fixed this problem? my guess is no because the Hepa filter is probably too small to handle all the air flow so they have to bypass some of the air flow around it & into the house. It's a shame they don't respond to this issue. The other does not have a Hepa, it's otherwise the same, has a higher rating and cheaper.

I've changed my mind, decided and ordered the HF100. HG20 seems much more expensive than it is but, after a while, for about 15-20 minutes, disc part disturbed me, first time handling seems better but after a while, HF100 excels in this category.I didn't see any quality difference from HG20's 24Mbps recording on my 40inch fullHD Toshiba LCD, seems identical..I liked both menu's, not very different.I've selected HF100, including 2 16GB SDHC Cards, one more silver 809S battery and a charger..I think I did the right choice...Best price/performance ratio including one of the best video quality...
