Panasonic ES8103S vs ES8243A
1110131
I have both (bought the ES8103S first), and the ES8243A is by far the better shaver for me. My 60+ year old face has some tough hair growth and getting a close shave was always a dream, until the ES8143A.A shave does take me 4 to 6 minutes due to some tough under chin areas so I only get 3 to 4 shaves per charge but for me it is worth it. I get up to a year on the foil/blades before I have to replace them. Unfortunate the foil/blades are so expensive. The shaver is 4 years old and going strong.

the only difference is that the ES8243A has an extra blade. I think having the extra blade helps get those hair growing in tight areas around your neck. instead having to shave it numerous times, you get to do it twice maybe three times max. its twenty dollars more expensive too so if your skin isn't as sensitive as mine and you want to save a few bucks but still have a good shaver then i guess you should get the ES8103S

There is a helpful comparison table of the two shaver models on the Panasonic ES8103S listing page.

I went with the G10 over the S1 for a couple reasons. The first one being the VieraCast and the ability to hook into the internet with a LAN connection. This is a big key, in my opinion, for future proofing your purchase a bit. Second, I believe the G10 has a better picture. The picture processing appears more fluid and less pixely than the S1. I saw the S1 at Sears and was a bit disappointed...not terrible, but wasn't what I thought it would be. (Please know that I have a Pioneer Elite Kuro for my other TV besides the Panasonic G10). I have read both sides saying that the S1 and the G10 were the same, but I have also read that they are slightly different. I believe I could notice the difference and I thought the G10 looked better. I spent the extra $$ for the future proofing feature and the slightly better picture quality.

Arthur,Cnet (www.cnet.com) which does alot of testing, rated the Panasonic 58" 800u as one of their editor's choices for 2008. As mentioned in a prior response to you, AVS Forum speaks very well of the Panasonic. Like you, I worried and researched for 3 months. While www.consumerreports.org likes the Samsungs, most everyone else likes the Panasonic. It seemed to me the jury was in favor of the Panasonic by a majority so that ended up as my choice and Panasonic also has one of the best reliabilty ratings.Dave

Marc, It looks like the AL2223 has slightly better features. This is the model that I will be purchasing in the coming week or so. The contrast ratio is slightly higher (800:1 as opposed to 700:1) so I think this is a better deal. Maybe others have some feedback that will add to the discussion? : Michael

Hi! I have been reading up on both tv's and it looks like the panasonic V10 is by far the best of the both. I just purchased the sammy b860 and also trying to find a good deal with the panny V10 (since it cost more). Both tv's can display the 24p at 96hz(24hzx4=96hz), so since the panny G10 can only do the 24p at 48hz(ficker problem). That's why tto me the sammy B860 is bump to second best, but this sammy has a buzzing sound if you live high above sea level. Remember this is just my opinion. hope this help someone......:)

Hi, Tim,I am only familiar with the ES8109 and it works well. I do not know anything about the ES-LA63; however, Panasonic might have a compatibility chart or the maker of this replacement may have the same. A call to Panasonic would not hurt either. Good Luck, John

I think the 83250 is just a newer model. I did not see any difference between them,except for the price. I bought the cheaper one.

There is no difference, as I understand it, between a 603 and a 603s short of the S! Usually, the s connotes 2 packaged as a stereo pair. But you can buy S's separately, go figure. The head shells are identical and thats the only thing that matters. It's a great little mic and can be hotroded to respond like and actual Neumann KM184 for not a whole lot!!!

I have the ES8249 and I bought the same combo. I believe there is no difference between ES8249 and ES8249S. I would buy it if that helps you

I have a GF1 and GH1 and the XR520v and CX520v. Panasonic has better manual control for stills, but the Sony stabilization and AVCHD codec implementation are *much* stronger.

That retailer might have some left in their pipeline - I doubt Sony has any left - the unit's not even listed on the sony web any longer. You may consider choosing something else or a refund. The Sony ES2400 is about the nearest unit you will find close to the 920 specs and capabilities.

I purchased both these cameras at the same time, the sony at my local best buy and a panasonic on amazon. They are pretty close to the same, the sony has a little more true color indoors but the panasonic has more vibrant colors outdoor. The sony looks a little more washed out outside. I was impressed with both cameras low light recording. The image stabilizer worked a little better on the sony I thought, the problem I have with the panasonic is that it almost tries to overcorrect the shake. It seemed any time I used the touch screen while recording (ie...zooming) I notice a slight jump in the picture. I think with a little practice I can eliminate this by how hard I tap the screen, but it's touchy. I didn't seem to have that problem with the sony. The panasonic gets a little warm in your hand, but considering I use it in a hockey arena it doubles as a hand warmer! The panasonic comes with a video light and a hotshoe and u have more manual settings. The software that comes with both is crap, plan on buying third party editing software no matter wich way u go. Is the difference worth the $70 more I paid for the sony? probably not, I can buy an extra battery and SD card for the pan. If you could find them for about the same price though, I would go for the sony.

The WES9012 states only the ES8813, 8078, 8044, and 8043. However, I have had good luck with Panasonic razors. Please check the other brands mentioned and if they seem similar or the same as the ES8075. You can also order from Amazon with a return guarantee. I use an ES-RT51 and the WES9012 blades fits perfectly.

The ea9800 is brighter and gets slightly better color. It also handles motion slightly better too if you are very particular. You can see reviews off both sets at "televisions.reviewed.com". The differences will be too subtle to distinguish in normal viewing however but it provides more bragging rights for vidoephilles like me.

I don't think there is a difference. Panasonic web site shows the ZS30 and ZS30K names on the same page.

Hi Lady Berkeley, yes I was told by Panasonic that this charging adaptor will work with your model ES8103.
