anybody compared this to B&amp;W P7? thanks

I used to sell audiophile-grade equipment. I admire both B&W and NAD as fine quality mid-grade equipment. In looking for $300 headphones, I came across both the PC50's and the P7's, and tried out both, along with Bose 15's (my initial impetus was stumbling across these while on a plane and finding the noise cancellation really great, much as I really dislike Bose sound). I generally am skeptical of companies' first attempts at a new product (as are both NAD's and B&W's for headphones),. so I also tried out Sennheiser Momentums, having liked Sennheisers in the past and being satisfied with their long-term reputation in doing headphones. When I say "tried out", I mean I bought them all and took them home for a week. The bottom line: to my ear, the NAD's win hands down. The B&W's are built well, but MAN are they boomy -- almost unlistenable to me. I can't believe it, but I actually came out liking the Boses better, of all things (and they're great to have on a plane, which I tried out as well -- along with the B&W's, the isolation characteristics of which were decent at best). The Sennheisers are the only ones that even come close, and they're not nearly as "neutral". The NAD's just plain disappear, and I say this for a variety of music types (hard rock, classical, folk...). The bass is remarkably tight for a set of closed-ear headphones; the upper mids aren't overly bright, while the very high end is clear as a bell -- and the resolution overall is wonderful. The NAD's are incredibly comfortable, too. My two cents.

The pro model is just built to take more punishment, it's thicker and stronger than the basic one. If you are just in your back yard plinking the basic one will work just fine, but if you want to go hiking or put any significant strain on it, I would go for the professional version. It will last for years, I think the only con with it would be it being slightly heavier than the basic model.

The PRS-300 and the PRS-600 are both newer models. The 505 preceded the 700. The PRS-700 was originally intended as a successor for the PRS-505 (it's faster - and has that input capability that a touchscreen gives you). The PRS-505 in turn was the replacement for the PRS-500. However, the 700 (despite being in many ways quite similar to the 505) had certain specific flaws (and a couple of benefits). It, unlike the 505, has a touchscreen, and it also has a light embedded underneath the touchscreen and above the eInk screen. On the plus side that means you can read in darker places without carting a little light around with you, but on the down side it and the touchscreen combined made for a screen that wasn't quite as readable as the 505. In short, yes, basically the 700 has been replaced by the PRS-600, which is pretty similar with slightly better readability, I think also a dictionary, but no embedded light. The PRS-300 is a smaller, cheaper, but otherwise very familiar touchscreen-less PRS-505ish device, except that it contains no expansion slots, and is therefore not terribly useful if you're the sort of person who wants to carry the entire Project Gutenberg in your pocket ;) Speaking for myself I'm pretty happy with both the PRS-700 and the PRS-600 models, despite the somewhat diminished readability - I have never owned a 505 so can't comment except to say that I've seen the screens on them and they are astonishingly clear and paper-like. I would probably buy a PRS-300 if I had the cash and it had a memory expansion slot! Hope that helps...

Although many camera gear review sites give the edge to G12 over P7000, the difference is just that, a small edge, even with P7000's known flaws regarding slow RAW write times and focusing issues. Since I'm a Nikon DSLR user, I can use my Nikon Flash on P7000 to give me more flexibility in using this camera. Otherwise, I would have gone with G12 as I think Canon does P&S cameras better than just about everybody else. However, that was the thought process when the camera prices were comparable before the huge price drop on P7000 AND the necessary firmware update (version 1.2) from Nikon. At this price ($229) along with firmware update, it's almost a no-brainer in picking P7000 over G12. For the price of P&S slightly above the economy model, you are getting a fantastic, albeit previously flawed, high-end P&S camera.

Just so you guys know, B&H; Photo has the NEW version HKG0PLAY5BLK, for $299.99 w/free shipping. You have to "add it to cart" to get the price. Don't know for how long, though. Oh,yeah, picked one up!

compares very well as far as I can tell. I really like mine. Seems to have all the same available features.

Don't be obsessed over pixel counts, consider the larges print you will be making. 12 mp can easily be printed at 12 x 18 and will be not see any differences had it been a 16 or 18 mp file. The quality of the picture, tonal range, color rendering etc, is excellent on the P7700. I have gotten very good prints at 14.5 X 11 from my old 4 mp camera. One advantage of higher mp counts it the ability to crop the picture and still be able to make a large print, or corp small areas for good smaller prints. I love my P7700 and am very satisfied with 12mp pictures. FYI, I also shoot 36mp pictures from my D800 which I print up to 40 x 60. Bottom line consider you you really need, and quality pictures should be a big priority over un-needed pixel counts.

You can download the nikon "spot on" app and check out how different loads match up using the BDC....its great and printable. I love that scope and utilizing the "spot on" app really helps better dial it in based on ammo using or if you ever decided to put it on a different rifle. But realistically depending on the ammo use its all about the fps as well as bullet weight and coeffocient, but download the app first and you will see what I mean. Enjoy

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

Shuang Ma. All of these cheaper ones on Amazon are going to be from a Chinese companies that you've not heard of. Mine was garbage but may have just been defective. I also had the little wl v911 which is great. I wish I had tried the wl v912 in that size range instead.

Don't really know, I think tactical light has super bright function when you hold on/off switch depressed. Look up function on the different ones because I'm going off memory and that is how I got info. I have a p6 and p7 both are great, p7 is much brighter for not much size increws a friend has p14 best of 3 but clit bigger over all I like p7 size weight function

It does not fit perfectly but it does quite well after some sanding. I ended up installing it by myself on my P07 Duty. If you are careeful there won't be even scratches on your sights. There are some on my but I don't care. Working flawless.

I can't speak for the Yorkville -- but I know the P1800sx is a product a lot of people have been impressed with. It is fairly new so the "secret hasn't gotten out yet", so to speak -- but as far as I know this is an excellent sub for the money you are paying.Please let me know if you have any other questions,My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

I reviewed the L70SRW and am only familiar with that model. Other than a difference in price, I'm not sure how they compare. I can only say that I am very pleased with the model I have. I suggest you carefully review the description of each model to make your decision. Sorry I am unable to offer more.

The Sony Bloggie Touch blows the Flip away. The quality of the Sony is far superior. I bought one for my Father-In-Law and one for my wife. My wife had a Flip, so I am speaking from hands on experience. Neither one of the Sony units has given us one bit of problems. Don't know why the other person went through ten of them. I tend to think "user error". I'd get one for myself if I didn't already have a larger hand held Canon that cost me like $600.
