Has the image quality improved in the last year?

My subscription ran out this spring so if the areas I saved were updated I didn't notice an improvement. I can still view maps I had saved during my subscription. The quality isn't as good as googlemaps.com but considering the price I paid I felt they were worth it. It does make things better than looking at a plan topo map.

I agree with the previous answer. I recently returned from a trip where I started alternating between a standard 8 GB Pro Duo and the new one...it seemed that my pictures were a bit sharper with the new card.

I agree with your assessment. The image quality of the SP800UZ is only mediocre compared to previous Olympus SP series models. Specifically the focus is soft and the colors unsaturated so every photo taken with the SP800UZ needs to be edited in a photo program to make it look fairly good.

Not very well. Mine has issues feeding it through and get distorted images.

I haven't seen a brand new 3D for this year. The ones I have seen are a couple years old, but with this one its great quality and you don't need powered glasses like some other models. However normal HD bounces btw 720/1080 and is not Always without the 'streaky blur'. If mainly 3D viewing, I say it's worth it, if u can handle a few glitches-but can maybe be repaired with the perfect settings.

Picture quality is great. I would put it against any Sony / Sharp / Panasonic of a similar generation and technology and favor this one every time. I would also say that technology has not improved enough in 2014 such that this is significantly out-dated. Are pictures getting more vibrant and a bit clearer all the time? Yes. But unless you are watching a ton of things on a very modern Blu-ray player, you would be missing very very little by getting this TV. Cable companies are not able to produce a signal that maximizes the potential of current TVs.

There are both optical and mechanical improvements in the new model. I wish I had the new one, but there isn't enough of a difference to justify the cost to me. The CPC1100 does the job I need.

I have had the camera for about a year. It is still working, however the grid lines have disappeared. (Yeah, explain how that happened. But the grid lines was confusing anyway.) I was using this camera with a Garmin 7 inch GPS, and after being covered by snow through most of the winter, the picture became very dim. Yesterday, I installed a Pioneer AVH-X2600BT in my truck. Suddenly, the picture looks pretty good on the new Pioneer. So the bottom line, it is worth the money. I have replaced two cheaper units before this one, and it's fustrating when they stop working......

Hello, the optical design has been improved, as well as the coatings. The STM focusing motor, primarily an advantage for video, can also result in more accurate focus for still images, so I would say yes, but not a huge improvement. Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

The camera is OK, but I have definitely seen better. Keep in mind that technology has come a lot further, so it is in comparison.

Not from what I have seen. At 100x, the distortion is beyond a focus adjustment.

I wish I can be more helpful but have not used it in a while. I do remember I had my apple computer and my Sanyo HDTV set to 1080I and the picture looked good but the Sanyo was slightly less sharper then the Computer. While playing a DVD on the MAC and watching it on the Sanyo, I believe the picture on the Sanyo looked better. (Sharper with more detail)

Agreed. I went 1080 for several reasons including viewing digital photographs. My digital photos look incredible without the jagged edges I see at lower resolution viewing.

Yes - check out my review of the product on the Amazon site where I go through all the changes. I guess the higher resolution recording is the main feature they are touting, but there are few others as well, such as fixing the flimsy battery cover.

My experience with this camera was that image quality was poor all around. Not sure if I received a defective model or what, but I returned it.

My picture quality is fine. My contrast is pnly 10000:1 and the3d is good well.

It depends on the lighting. I have filmed indoors with decent lighting and when I upload it doesnt look hd either. Although when I am outside, the quality is very good
