Sony SS-F5000 vs Sony SS-F7000??
1462188
If I remember correctly the 7000 is a little taller because it has two speakers and a tweeter. The 5000 has one Speaker and tweeter.

7000 is supposed to deliver better lows, the better option is the 5000s with a sub. Even with the 7000s i would still use a sub, so there is no benefit for the extra price.

I think that many of us (Me!) would love to hear what others feel about Mr. Timofei's statement that the S700 has "CD Direct" which makes "a huge difference in the sound." If that's so,...I certainly want a 700 rather than a 500 or a 300. How do you 300 and 500 owners feel?!

There is a comparison on dpreview.com in the Panasonic forum, at ISO 1600. The FZ40 I think has truer color (richer wood color, for example) and is at least as good in other ways (I think slightly less color blotchiness) - overall, I think the FZ40 won mostly due to better color.

from my point of view the s700 is to fill a large room, because the only big difference is in the watts power, the other stuff it's pretty much the same.

I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it. If you don't see yourself taking any video, then the T700 is more feature rich. But, if you'll use the video feature the T500 is significantly better. The T500's HD video in decent lighting is impressive for such a small camera. The T500 screen resolution may not be as good as the T700, but I've found it more than acceptable. A friend of mine has a camera with "Smile Shutter" and he says he never uses it, more of a hassle then it's worth. I could see if you had kids who are reluctant to smile, it might be a nice feature. -Good Luck I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it.

DO NOT BY THE FUJIFILM!! I did and it's ABSOLUTE CRAP. I get better photos from my old Fujifilm A500, the point & shoot Fuji A500 takes better photos. Light/color and White Balance are crap in the S1000fd. I take photos for my Etsy shop with my Fuji A5oo, it surpasses the S1000fd, which is quite surprising!

Rx100 has a bigger sensor, so the quality of the image is much better. The price between bouth cameras reflect that difference. It is been said that the menus and shooting experience of the sony is so so. I had the lx7 and the menu and the controls are very intuitives. If the picture quality is your preference in a pocket camera, the Ricoh Gr is the best chooise (more expensive too: it has an Aspc sensor, like your D7000) but is has a focal fixed lens (28mm) instead of a zoom. All these cameras shoot in raw, have manual exposition and other dslr functions.

If you could get adapted to electronic view finder from optical view finder, then yes, A99 or A77 is much better than A700. I just upgraded from A900, while I still keep using A900 now because two bodies work more effective.

The Sony is a LITTLE better lens, but a lot more expensive. Neither is crazy sharp. Both are sharp enough for most people in most circumstances.

The FZ70 has a fixed LCD screen with less resolution, The lens has a variable aperture and not just F 2.8, No Remote control options, EVF is less capable, Fewer controls on lens and body, less capable sensor, fewer Movie options, does not come with lens hood, not as good in low light, and much more. The FZ70 will takea wider angle and longer telephoto images than FZ200. Under most circumstances the images taken outdoor will be hard to distinguish the difference.

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.

Input lag is better with sony with 19.7ms . Samasung f8000 is slower with 46.8. I imagine this is not noticeable to the average user, but for gamers, sport watcher sony is better.

I was also deciding on these 2 cameras as a gift for my parents and ended up going with the A570. Another difference I saw with the A570 was the Face Detection feature and the improved Red-Eye Correction - I don't remember seeing those 2 features on the A710. In addition to that, my final deciding factor was the fact that the A570 is a newer model in the Powershot series.If you haven't already, I recommend watching the interactive video on the A570 - it will highlight some of the features I mentioned and is helpful especially if you're not as familiar with the Powershot series.I also purchased the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries which had good ratings.

I've never owned a Panny FZ70, but I did own a Panny FZ40 and I will say the FZ40 is a fine camera with excellent image quality. That being said, I love the image quality on the X-S1 and overall I think it is a better camera. I don't know about anybody else, but I had a problem with dust and dirt getting inside of the FZ40 camera's lens and it made the camera unusable. The X-S1 is an amazing camera and it is built very solid with many metal fittings instead of plastic pieces that you find on a lot of cameras. I love the manual zoom as well, it's got a pro-camera feel about it, I wouldn't trade my X-S1 camera for any other out there. The filter size is 62mm which I highly recommend getting to protect your lens. I bought a Fujicon clear UV filter lens and a Sigma polarized lens as well for bright sunlight days. I couldn't be happier with my X-S1 camera.

Very bad in my experience with it. It's a good camera outdoors, especially on sunny days. Indoors, the combo of the long zoom and small sensor make for dark pics and/or blurry pics. Almost all cameras are trade-offs. This one's trade0offs were not for me. The FZ150 is a much better camera and the FZ200 is probably better yet. The FZ200 is expensive, so not a truly fail comparison. It is also bigger.The best compact in the world right now (my belief and that of many others) has a 3 -4 x zoom and a 1" sensor and costs $650 --- the Sony RX100. It's the same size as the ZS15 or maybe even a bit smaller. I wish it were cheaper !!! :-). Very bad in my experience with it. It's a good camera outdoors, especially on sunny days.

the major issue sony had with the 2500 series was the clouding issues, the 3000's are free of that mess. also it depends on how far away ur siting from the display...IMO get the 3000, at 40"s you wont be about to tell the difference between the High def resolutions. not till the 50" range will that matter...o and sorry...didnt do an A & B comparision. I"m still browsing myself HAPPY HUNTING
