Panasonic ES3831K vs. Braun M90/M60B? Which is better and why?
1856928
I have used both. The hands down winner is the Panasonic. It's just more powerful. I get a better shave and it seems more waterproof.

I haven't used the Braun so I have no basis for comparison. I have used the Panasonic and it's a great razor for the price point. Sturdy construction, shaves well even in the shower and makes for a great travel razor.

I've not used Braun. I'm a hairdresser and cut/shave men. It's great to remove 5:00 shadow, if however, you don't shave for a few days, it doesn't do well on longer hair. It's also great for teenagers starting with peach fuss on mustache and chin. I also use it on neckline after using trimmers to give cleaner look.

Used the Braun for several years before trying the Panasonic. Panasonic better by a long shot. Better, smoother shave. Much sturdier.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

Why don't you read the specs?I have the 320s-4 and it's perfect unless you want to shave in the shower. I think that's the only difference.

Edward... it's been too long ago... I really don't know the difference now... I will say that the system didn't last very long... It was the first time that a Panasonic product let me down... Hope this is helpful...Walt.

I would not buy the Panasonic is the pain in the b*** to kiss. I bought a mega box HDI very simple to hook up was up and running within 30 minutes has tons of storage and very easy to use in USA systems

You would not get a good answer, here of all places with so many opinionated people.Only recommendation I can give is try both cameras in store and see which once you find comfortable to use. Both are great cameras. And really similar in performance. Can't go wrong either way.I've heard/read that Lumix is slightly better. But I have the S90 and I can't imagine how any P&S; can be better than it (aside from S95/S100) in the same category. I love the controls on it especially the customizable ring.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences.50PZ700U - My preferred right now50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well.50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar. I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u.

i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit, and it was a real pita. i tried the panasonic cleaning unit a couple of times, and went back to soap and water. i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit,... » Read More i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit, and it was a real pita. i tried the panasonic cleaning unit a couple of times, and went back to soap and water. « Show Less

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.

Stas-I commented on theese same quality issues of the Braun Shavers back in June 2010. I purchased a Panasonic and have been very pleased with the shave and the cleaning feature. I had been a former loyal Braun user but that's history. I am now sold on Panasonic shavers.

NA31 is more compact and light. http://www.amazon.co.jp/Panasonic-%E3%82%A8%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%83%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%95%E3%83%AC-%E3%83%94%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF-EW-NA31-P/dp/B003AQ3D0K

There is a comparison on dpreview.com in the Panasonic forum, at ISO 1600. The FZ40 I think has truer color (richer wood color, for example) and is at least as good in other ways (I think slightly less color blotchiness) - overall, I think the FZ40 won mostly due to better color.

To be sure, visit Panasonic's website and download manual for both. Comparability will be stated in the manuals.

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.

I also switched from a Braun 7 to the 8109s and later to the ES-LA63. Never looked back..

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.

I switched to this FROM the Braun. The self-cleaning system seemed nice but it's kind of like having a subscription to your own razor, as you have to keep buying the cleaning solution. This one being a wet/dry razor, allowing me to rinse it off in the sink, makes cleaning it easy enough that I don't miss the self-cleaning Braun I had. The shave itself is very similar in closeness, though I find this Panasonic deals better with longer hairs (e.g., weekend without shaving).
