How does the BDP 83 compare to the BDP 103 in quality? I was thinking of getting the 83 to save a little money but not at the expense of quality.

It depends on what is important to you. If streaming movies in important to you I suggest the BDP-103. The BDP-83 does not have streaming capability built in. However, you can connect it to a router but then the money you save purchasing the 83 will be spent purchasing a router. I suggest that you call OPPO. They are extremely helpful and will not try to sell you something that you don't need. I must say that OPPO makes an excellent player. Don't be surprised of the weight. The case is made of metal which makes it heavier than most players on the market. Plus OPPO players are made in USA. I have two OPPO blu-ray players and I couldn't be happier.

I have the BDP 83 Special Edition and the quality is great. I can't say anything about the 103 since I don't have that. It plays most any type of disc I have put in it. The one I have plays MKV videos from a USB flash drive as long as they are not bigger than 4GBs.

The major difference is the pjd 5134 is not full H.D. If you go to amazon and search electronics , type in the 5134 and search you will see some reviews on that page , one review said " this is not true H.D. far from it , but the picture quality is very good. When you have a broadcast signal from your provider and or blue ray or any true H.D signal you need true H,D to receive the signal and display true H.D which is 1928x 1080 only that "native resolution is true H.D. AND THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE , i TESTED 3 OR 4 OTHER PROJECTORS , THAT WERE GOOD ,BUT NOT TRUE H.D. For eg. I watched the world cup in true H.D. phenomenal . The key is "native resolution " the one you are asking about is 600x800 the other one is 1928x1080 -true H.D. there is a big difference , that is why you pay more for the one compared to the other , but it is definitely worth it , it depends on how good you want your picture to be , if you want true H.D. get the 7820 true H.D. .AS GOOD AS A MOVIE THEATER OR BETTER ,Mark 850-696-9519 , call if you want to discuss further

Slight advantage to the Oshlun over the Freud 208, mainly due to having more teeth. The Oshlun isn't quite as clean as the DW/Delta 7670 though, which tends to run a bit higher in price. Any of those will have significantly better performance than the $30-$50 sets from Avanti, HF, Mibro, Vermont American, Promax, and others. However, none of these entry level sets do as well as the premium sets from Infinity, Freud, Forrest, Systimatic, Ridge Carbide, etc @ $200+, mainly due to the design and quality of manufacture...there really is a notable difference, but the better ~ $90+ sets can be "good nuff". It all boils down to need, usage, economics, and priorities.

The difference isn't huge. Essentially the KP3+ has a few more effects built into it. But thats about the only difference between the two. Personally I use the extra effects a lot, so I would advice to get the KP3+, but it depends a lot on what it's going to be used for and if it justifies the higher price or not.

the 330 got much better reviews than the 340- I was going to buy the 340 but instead bought the 330 which I love so much I bought a second one as a spare- pics are awesome!

I am not sure how to compare the 80P to the other since I never tried the FD-80. I have the 80P and I like it. Its easy and works and I haven't had a problem with it at all. I am a bit burnt out on beef jerky though.

It looks like the handle of the 1015SPS is 2-piece (maybe to reduce shipping? Other than that, I see no difference, and IMO the structural integrity of the 1015P would be preferable.

I'd say just bite the bullet and buy the BMD one for around $240. NEVER had a problem with it.

Thanks for this. I almost bit on the R100. I'm gonna save a few more pennies and get the M300. Do you think there's anything better in that price range?

Ok so this is what I'm going off of. The Cannon SX10IS is the same price as the P90 but the P90 has 24x zoom and 12.1 MP... The price differential came from somewhere. I'm putting my bets on the image processor. I personally own the SX10IS and I could not be happier. My friend who owns the Cannon Rebel XSi tries to say how his buy is much more justified. So far the only things I have found better is his white balance, optional remote trigger, and the capability to shoot in RAW. Otherwise our cameras are very similar.

8350 is much better - but I'd save your money and get the 5030ub - the ultra back makes the picture pop and I swapped my 8350 for the 5030ub and made the viewing experience 100% better. Spend a little extra - you get what you pay for.

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

- For various business-commercial reasons the BDP-83 ***as sold*** by Oppo directly or by Amazon is a Region 1 DVD (North America, etc) ***only*** and Region A Blu-Ray player (North America, etc) ***only*** ! - However, given the fact this unit ***incorporates*** a PAl-NTSC Converter, it make sense to attempt to make it a Region-Free player. This is possible post-sale. Google "bdp-83 region free" or "bdp-83 unlocking" and you will find out several solutions.- It is also possible to buy the BDP-83 already modified so that it comes Region-Free. eBay and several other resellers sell the BDP-83 already modified, so that it comes REGION FREE. - For various business-commercial reasons the BDP-83 ***as sold*** by Oppo directly or by Amazon is a Region 1 DVD (North America, etc) ***only*** and Region A Blu-Ray player (North America, etc) ***only*** ! - However, given the fact this unit ***incorporates*** a PAl-NTSC Converter, it make sense to attempt to make it a Region-Free player.

It is better, but be sure your getting a 231. There is a. 231s that is silver in color . The faders are stout and smooth, and dbx is great. There is a 31 band eq from bbe that I like a lot as well, same price point as the dbx.

"Falling apart" is rather vague but I'm on my third "130", the first eventually two developing lens problems - not opening up fully, not zooming out fully. This is what happens when one uses a camera a lot in the outdoors, especially with fine dust and salt air (I live on the CA coast) being almost constant factors. But I have liked this camera so much - with its two AA battery set-up - that I have ordered, through Amazon, two "like new" replacements (both in the $75-$100 range, about the same cost, or less even, as a cleaning/repair these days). You could buy one of the newer models in this series as I believe a "150" and a "170" came out more recently. You could look at the specs to see any differences - no doubt the newer models have more megapixel at the highest setting, like maybe 16mp instead of max of 12mp with the "130". (I have done most of my shooting at the much lower M2 setting, which is 2mp, 1600x1200 to conserve my Rayovac rechargeable batteries and because I only email phos and do digital album folders, no large prints.) By the way, I believe the "170" (or maybe "160"?) switched from two AAs to the more common flat rechargeable. Finally, if you find that you have to keep resetting the date/time, that is because your separate little battery, the CR1220, that powers that function, needs replacing. I have seen that question/problem with this camera come up on this Amazon forum before. (You can get a replacement at Walmart, some jewelry stores, some camera stores for about $5.) I love both the Canon Elph series and the PowerShot series but heavily used cameras of any brand develop problems. Consider buying an extended warranty on the next Canon, if you, buy new! Good luck with your photography....

I own a Oppo BDP-83 Blu Ray and a Oppo 971 1080i upscale DVD player. Oppo is well worth the price tag you have to pay. The 83 in particular is truly awesome, I have never had a disc not play, the upconversion on standard DVD's while not Blu Ray is clearly superior to any DVD player I have owned, which is many since I support 5 set ups. Oppo's will firmware update any time you have an internet connection and ask it to update in the menu.
