Is there a difference between DG PRO Kenko 1.4 converter and the DGX PRO? I am seeing different prices between them, with the DG costing more.

Somewhere I read that the DGX version has better anti-reflective coatings than the DG version...supposedly better for digital cams. Whether that is true or not I do not know...

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Kenko's DG series of teleconverters - I think the DG series has been discontinued at B&H; and Adorama. I'v'e used a Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II for years but now the Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 DGX 1.4x AF. The Kenko DGX teleconverter has full autofocus functionality with lenses having a maximum aperture of f/4 or brighter. Only reason I bought the Kenko is that the Nikon teleconverters only works with 2 of my Nikon telephoto lenses. The Kenko will work on all my telephoto lenses including the Tokina 400mm and Sigma 150-500mm.

yes - exactly the same except, for example, the X shows XIF data as an aperture of 4.0 instead of 2.8 which is the actual lens f stop loss of a 1.4 teleconverter. The X wasn't out when I bought mine but I'm not sure I would have cared anyway. Take care.

From the comments I've seen, it looks like the Kenwood DNX891HD has gotten rave reviews and scant criticism. Its a completely different OS. The software was written by a different party than the DNN991HD. I haven't sprung for the 891 since I already have the 991. If the prices come down significantly, then I will probably make that swap.

Here's Another website that will accept the coupon.http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=TB100HH9&gclid;=CPnFoNyVu5ICFQP4lgodfwnHbQI do have a question for someone what is the difference between the two different converter boxes. This is the first time that I have heard of the analog pass through converter and don't know understand what that means.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

I also use a converter with Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition. I am very satisfied.

Hey Chor, just wondering if you figured this out yet? I'm looking for an expander for my 8300HDC on TW cable so i was wondering did they ever fix the problem on the software?

Quasar is my favorite, I've tried numerous devices and this is the only one that worked, but I didnt notice any difference between the pro and the cheaper quasar

I have been an installer of CCTV equipment for close 10 years, The pro-systems are a better qulity, but this little Unit, Is the same as a Pro-System. But it cost 1/10 the price, and its colors are as ture as the Pro-System. An you get so much more software controls, that most Pro's don't have.Hope This Helps

www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon will have a $40 coupon starting on January 1 2008 to subsidize getting this kind of converter box. I could really use one now.

I have the SenseVision DisplayPort to 3xDisplayPort...it did work for me. Not the Pro 2....But if i had to do it again i would just spend the money on a better video card that has the outputs i need. the unit ships from europe so the item requires a 240v input. I had to by and stepdown/up converter to go from 240v to 120v. My monitors had hdmi input and had to get a cable dvi to hdmi...just another added expense. But it works. Im using ATI in Eyefinity to configure the monitors. My Video card is R7750. have 3 monitors..2 samsung and 1 seiki 4k tv. Does work better when all monitor are the same size...

Thanks, again, Larry. So, for the HD A-35 user, the upconversion of the Oppo chipsets is no better in action than the A-35? The Oppo site mentions, as I recall, a different video processor in each Oppo, the 980, the 981 and the 983. I seem to recall that the 981 has a Farouja (spelling) processor? With, as you say "picture quality of a DVD played back on the HD-A35...about equal to the PQ of a DVD played back on Oppo's new top of the line DV-983H", there's no upconversion benefit in owning the Oppo.That leaves universality the big benefit: How is your DV 981HD at converting PAL TO NTSC and the reverse? The procedure of making the Oppo Region Free seems easy enough. Any glitches?Do I really want to import foreign SD DVD's? Thanks, again, Larry.

There are too many possible combinations of inputs and outputs to give a blanket answer to your question. The main limitation is that the included converter does not accommodate Dolby digital which is standard output for most newer equipment. Also, if the input to your device is HDMI, in many cases non-HDMI outputs are automatically shut down so they will not work with the converter in that case either.

Wow, did I call it junk? I mean, it's not the worlds greatest inverter, and if only used a few minutes at a time for small loads, it would be ok. But going bigger means you are going to run some serious equipment, and most likely expensive stuff too. Xantrex has recently come out with a line of inexpensive sinewave inverters to compete with what china is producing in their sunforce line. These are in the $289-300 price range. Personally I'd take the Xantrex first over the sunforce because it WILL deliver 1000W, while the sunforce shuts down just below 1000W and does not have any surge capacity like the xantrex does. I reviewed 3 inverters, 2 xantrex (the grey one is the one i'm thinking of), a yellow one, and one sunforce inverter (black) - all specified to be 1000W. The GREY xantrex offers the most bang for the buck and is not overrated like the sunforce is. The yellow xantrex has a nice powerdown mode called power save that minimizes the inefficiencies of having an inverter - it turns on every couple seconds, looks for any load, then goes to sleep for 2 seconds. As a result the neon lights on power strips blink because they are below the threshold to put it in run mode, but as soon as you really need power it enters run mode. Just beware that these larger inverters come at a price - idle current - the DC power wasted when no AC power is needed. Yellow (expensive) xantrex has the lowest idle with power save, but you can also just turn off the grey unit when you don't need power. The sunforce has a cute keyfob on/off controller - its range is limited but it does work. It's just not able to do 1000W and nowhere near the surge rating on the inverter. I kept that model anyways for the remote control feature. My personal experience says go with the $289 grey xantrex I reviewed. It's got clean power and just don't run it 24x7 (don't run ANY inverter 24x7 - 1.5 A x 24 = 36 AH, which is almost the daily production of the 60W panels! If you leave the inverter running you won't have any room for running devices.)

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

The Kenko 2X Pro 300 DGX is not compatible with the newer "Canon EFS" lenses. The issue is that the newer lenses rear structure extends further into your "Canon SLR" when mounted than the older Canon USM lenses.

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don
