MP 830 v. MP 780: Can anyone help with salient differences between them?
1171803
This machine does 2-side scans (I don't think the 780 does). It also uses the new UV inks (BCI8 series). You can replace each tank individually, but the inks cost a bit more than the 780's inks. The 780 is the old model and is no longer made (but you can still get them from various stores until they run out). If you already have the 780 it's probably not worth the upgrade unless you have a specific need for the new inks or dual scanning.

I was wondering the same thing so did some digging and found this in one of the reviews "The main difference of the MP640 over the MP560 is a larger 3" LCD, Ethernet connection and print speed."

The Real Black Filter is the main difference as A. Leetham mentioned, but the 8000 range also has the ability to adjust the Motion Judder Canceller feature, which prevents the the infamous "soap opera effect". Another advantage is "Cinema Smooth", which is on the C8000, but not the C7000 (despite what's listed on Amazon's product page). This is a must have mode for me, to display 24p Blu-ray content at 96 Hz to avoid telecine judder.

Sorry, I haven't had any experience with the 710. I have the 810, 835, & 837.

I have been tossing and turning over this very same dilema. After MUCH research, I have settled on the sd800 for the following reasons: #1- The .28 wide angle lens (great to have indoors and for group shots!!) #2- 7.1mp is PLENTY! Don't get up in the more mp is more trap! It just slows down picture taking, transferring and printing. Unless you are literally making posters, it is impossible to distinguish any difference between 7mp and 8mp. #3- The 2.5" screen looks huge in person, but the 3" (which I thought I wanted) leaves no room for your right thumb. This might sound stupid, but I've held both cameras, and it felt like I had to really work to keep my thumb off of that 3" screen (again, avoid the "more is more" draw). These, along with the price were enough to tip the scale for me. Hope this helps!

The MP are not the most important aspect of a camera it is the quality of the lens and processor, the p7800 has both of those things going for it

Edison Sandoval knows what he's talking about his answer is correct. John Livingston does not know on board graphics vs. the 880M. The on board graphics will share the system memory not the 880.

The b8500 has local dimming LED's whereas the b8000 is edgelit with LED's. The local dimming allows for deeper blacks and better overall picture quality. In my humble opinion the local dimming is fantastic but with a 1300 price difference right now its just not worth it to most people.

I am not familiar with the 780, but my 880 did not have any problem with fringe up to about 3 inches long.

The only difference I can see is that the 830 has a built-in memory card reader. Pull the card out of your digital camera and print without a computer. But, maybe I missed something...

The 830 is rear-ported (which I despise), hence the larger cabinet needed for its bass-reflex design parameters. The 820 is a sealed-cabinet design, which requires a smaller air space, and provides the MOST accurate reproduction of sonic dreamscapes. When used with a subwoofer, and all frequencies below 80Hz filtered (as all bookshelf speakers should be), bass-reflex porting is unnecessary and just adds to their size. Rear ports require more careful placement.

The higher number usually means more features. In this case the 8300 has a standard remote control and Netflix and Hulu, whereas the 8500 has the WebOS browser, and the remote that takes voice commands.

I was told this when I asked the same question on another forum: "the SD800IS had a better constructed body and feel, the SD850IS felt cheap when you A/B them. The power button is very small for a camera of this size. It requires most to use their finger nails to activate. Lastly, the shutter lag is longer on the SD850IS. The SD850IS is more of the SD700IS's successor rather than the SD800IS. The body style is exactly the same and it uses the same 35mm lens rather than the 28mm.... There are a lot of people who really liked the wide angle lens part of the 800IS. You can take better indoor, landscape etc. pics." I went with the 800 IS in the end.

I have gone to the brother website as suggested by Howard G. It appears his supposition is correct. The only difference I could see between the 825 and the 835 was the LCD display is color. The size of the screen is listed for both models as 3.3." I realize the OP has probably already bought the printer (or not) but thought I'd post the answer since I was looking for it myself.

They are very similar. I have the 780. Here are the differences I found: 1. Virtual Wall Lighthouse on the 780 is different that the mere Virtual Wall on the 770. The virtual wall simply contains the Roomba in the room. The Virtual lighthouse does 3 things: a) it contains it in the room just like the Virtual Wall; but then it b) allows it to go to next room when first is complete, and c.) serves as a 'lighthouse' so Roomba can find it's way back to the docking station when it is 'out of sight' of it in the next room. 2. The buttons on the 780 are 'touch keys' whereas I think on the 770 are 'buttons' 3. The 780 has a 'trash bin full' indicator. A pretty good comparison http://www.amazon.com/iRobot-Roomba-Vacuum-Cleaning-Allergies/dp/B005F1PT32/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1384824460&sr=8-4&keywords=roomba+770 I personally have not yet found the differences to be worth it. I may figure how to use the lighthouse thing more later, but for now in my situation the 'next' room is 'under construction' and we are not having Roomba go into there. Also the primary room is a large 'great room' ... 750 sf, so Roomba may be out of juice before it could do the next section anyway. If you simply want it to do one room at a time, no need to go to the 780. If you have multiple rooms you want it to automatically do, and they're not huge, a lighthouse at each door may help. I was new to this technology when I purchased. I will try these out when our 'next room' is completed (within the next month or so I hope). If these Lighthouses do not add significant functionality here, then I'd definitely go the 770 cheaper route next time. Full bin indicator - if you empty it every time between used, not worth it unless maybe a lot of dust, pet hair that could fill it up before a room is cleaned. (info chart is a little confusing on whether the 770 has this or not.) Touch keys .. your call. I wouldn't pay for the difference.

I am not aware of a review that compares those 2 configurations, but I would be amazed if the 400 f/2.8 AFS with converter was as sharp as the 800. I have read a review that might shed some light on the question, but cannot access it without my laptop.

PA77U is slightly smaller and lighter. The key difference is resolution. PF85 is about 4.8LBS (dimensions10.8" x 1.8" x 8.6") while PA77U is 3.1LBS (9.05" x 6.69" x 1.73"). For portabulity and price PA77U is the winner but when it comes to the resolution PF85U is better at 1080P. PA77U is WXGA(1280X800).
