For alot of folks, it comes down to the option of shooting in RAW. P300 does not shoot RAW, S95 does. Is that worth the extra +$120 (as of 10/11) for the S95? Do you even shoot in RAW? If you even know what RAW is, you should be shooting with your dSLR right now. :)B&H; photo is selling the P300 for $239 through 10-29-11. Seems like a deal too good to pass up. Upgrading my 2+ year old Canon P&S.; Boy...technology moves quickly. I'll upgrade in another 2 years when all of these P&S; cameras shoot near dSLR quality.

Both are good cameras but S95 has a better image quality and it shoots raw but if u are not into image editing then u dont need raw format jpeg will be good enough. The real con for p300 is that it dosent have a good video quality in HD mode be it 720 or 1080P. Its video is choppy but if u record in non HD u will be good. Right now p300 is $230 with free shipping. I will get it rather than get s95. Both qualities will never match up to DSLR. $230 offer ends 1 OCT 2011. get it now people. rather than spend almost $400 as in $360+ on s95. FYI s100 is out.

"better"...can you elaborate a little more? I am ready to listen. If that's the case I should not hesitate to buy s95.

Is the S95 fast enough? I have a CanonSD1200 and apart from wanting a point and shoot with manual control I also find it is slightly slow to focus and shoot when time is of the essence. I read some reviews that indicated the S95 may also be slow. I would like to have RAW but it's not a deal breaker so perhaps the P300 would be better if it is super fast and responsive. Thanks for any input.

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

Well to be very honest I don't feel I could compare something I am not familiar with. I would only be reading reviews about the Finepix S1800 and not actually comparing 2 products. I can only say (since I bought it for my son who is 36) that the pictures he takes with it are amazing and the price was very reasonable. I am sorry but I think if I tried to compare it to something I am not familiar with I would be giving you false information.

I have been tracking the 4095/4096, 4061, and 4065 for a while now and have spent some time on the phone with Samsung to learn the differences. The 4095 and 4096 were both at one time quite affordable on Amazon. They are last year's models and thus if you can find them either have a low price tag because they are old or a slightly higher pricetag well, simply because people still show interest in these TVs. Both received excellent reviews and were amongst the best rated LCDs of 2006. As far as 2007 goes - the 4061 and 4065 have stepped in. The 4065 is a replacement of the 4096, with a higher contrast ratio and additional HDMI inputs. The 4061 is really just a step below that with slightly lower quality speakers. However, from what I have read the 4061 has a new image processor over last year's models. The 4061 also has a slightly lower contrast ratio than the 4065. Having seen all of these models in store - I can tell you visually, you will never truly see a difference between the 4061 and 4065. With proper calibration and settings - most LCDs can be made to look fantastic, and the 4061 is simply above par. Despite its semi-poor sound, if you hook it up to a receiver and use other speakers, it doesnt really matter. Amazon is the way to shop - prices are always coming down - and remember to check back after purchase for they will reimburse you if the price drops lower within the month. Hope this helps.

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.

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

I like the Samsungs. We have had Sony Bravia, Sharp, and Samsung, and the Samsungs of recent years including the model 6350 are sharper in picture and we like the apps better, however, when buying a blue ray player we still stick with Sony, they load faster and have a better user friendly menu.

Hi, in this link you can see a comparison of both models: http://www.samsung.com/ve/consumer/cameras-camcorders/smart-cameras/productcompare?prda=EC-DV150FBPWPA&prdb=EC-DV300FBPRPA Basically have the same features, the only difference I see is the physical design

I got my G2 last week and have been enjoying it very much. Before purchasing G2, I was thinking of Gf1. But, after thinking about several months (yes, months), I finally understand the appearance of small camera body is deceiving. The quality, the size and the cost of the lens dictate the buying decision for those who want to take good pictures. After that, the usablity of the camera is more important than the size of the camera body. If Sony Nex-5 has a small-size high-quality lens, I might consider it. But, from the professional review, it seems to me that the manual control is strongly discouraged. It appears to many people that Sony Nex-5 is targeting P&S crowd who wants a better camera. The market size is bigger. So, it seems to be a smart move. After all, making money is more important than making cameras. But, the topics of this discussion is the comparison between G2 and Nex-5. I think it is more appropriate to compare Gf1 and Nex-5. Those who buy G2 are those who consider the usability more important than size. For these people, Nex-5 is not favorable. Between Gf1 and Nex-5, I think I would still prefer Gf1 with the pancake lens over Nex-5. This is because Nex-5's manual control is not readily reachable. If it is mostly used as a P&S camera, it is way too expensive and too big. The only advantage to have a large sensor and a large lens in a P&s camera is to take pictures in low light condition. For these type of users, the size of the lens on nex-5 would not be appealing at all. So, who are the buyers Nex-5 is really targeting? We will have to wait and see.

I am not obsessed with megapixel counts in cameras. I stopped printing sometime ago. My pictures go online or facebook. So I have to give up on the wish for a megazoom in a small package since I won't compromise picture quality for the zoom. I ruled out the S95 because of the zoom range. Now I have to reconsider. Other than the zoom, it still has most of the attributes I am looking for in a small package.Thank you so much for your research on sensor size and lens. This explains what I noticed for some years. My old trusty takes nicer pictures than many people's newer cameras. I am not obsessed with megapixel counts in cameras. I stopped printing sometime ago. My pictures go online or facebook.

My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation. I've looked at and compared both sets at Sears and at Best Buy and the Samsung had the best picture quality by far. In fact at as little as 5 feet away I had a difficult time seeing any difference between the model in question and several other 1080p models hanging next to it. I know a lot depends upon the quality of video feed the stores are using for the demo models on display. This is only my opinion and I know that can vary greatly for the person to person. So, take it for what its worth. Hopefully others can add their observations to the discussion.

The S95 has a wider angle, faster lens, with a larger sensor resulting in sharper images and better low light capabilities. It also has manual controls and raw shooting capability, HDR mode, boost ISO, noise reduction and advanced image stabilization . The SD4500 sacrifices image quality to achieve the larger zoom and 1080p video. The S95 has the best IQ of any point and shoot out there (close to a DSLR) IMHO.

contrast ratio is one thing. From store display, my eyes prefer sony or samsumg. For some reason Toshiba and LG doesn't attract my eyes as much. Store test is the best.

the newer model has 1080p HD, and looks a lot cheaper. The old one is 720. They updated it 2 weeks after I got mine. still love it 2 years later. even though I have the 720 I don't need an upgrade. hope this helps

I was at Best Buy for a special event, and there was a Samsung rep there. He told me the A950 is still there flagship model. The differences in the two are back lit vs. edge lit LED's that why the b8000 is so slim. While the b8000 has a faster refresh rate (240 to 120) the a950 has dynamic contrast where the set is constantly scanning to give better blacks. Oh, and I think there's one more HDMI port on the a950 than the b8000 if I remember correctly. I did ask the rep if there was a 9000 series coming out. He said there is one in the works, but wouldn't say when. I'm thinking late fall in time for Christmas, or next year in the spring, but that's a guess. If anyone knows a exact release date for the 9000 series please post. I'm leaning toward the a950 for a few reasons better blacks because of the dynamic contrast scanning, and on the b8000 I did notice while watching at Best Buy the set did bleed light from the edges in letterbox. (The black bars weren't completely black. Kinda bugged me.). $4000 vs $3600 for the a950 plus three yrs. interest free at Best Buy this week. I may pick one up, unless Amazon has a better deal going.

Look up "Imaging Resource" website. There is a very cool "Comparometer" (look on the left side, "Compare Sample Images). I, too, am trying to decide between the ZS7 and the HX5V. My biggest beef (in particular, with the Fuji F80, which I returned), is with over-processed images wiping out facial tone. I'm worried the Sony does that a bit, but it seems to retain some of the Fuji's low light magic. It's a shame the ZS7 went up on megapixels and therefore lost resolution in processing out noise.

I am wondering the same thing.I chose the SD4500 over the S95 because it has HD 1920x 1080 Full HD movie and because it has a 10x zoom lens..If anyone can point out why I should have went with the S95 instead please let me know.
