Cindy,I purchased an EA1 adapter and returned it. Although it was a nicely constructed adapter it caused me to loose 1F stop from an already slow lense and it did not carry forth full auto focus capabilities, only auto exposure. I'm still searching for better options. These appear to be the differences:AE1- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto exposure but no or limited auto focus. AE2- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto focus, auto exposure w/ transluecent mirror.AE3- Same as AE1 but updated model.AE4- Same as AE2 but updated modelIf you really want an EA 1 or 2 there are other internet suppliers that still have these in stock.

LAEA1&2 for APS-C sensors only. LAEA3&4 can be used for full-frame sensors (alpha7, 7R, and 7S). LAEA1&3 have very limited auto focus capability (only works for alpha SAM lenses e.g. DT 2.8/30 MACRO SAM, and very very slow). LAEA2&4 have TTL phase detection system incorporated and auto focusing much faster for most of alpha AF lenses. I have both LAEA1 and 2 but I am almost exclusively using LAEA2 since LAEA1's AF is slower than my MF. If your camera is one of the NEX, I recommended LAEA2. If for a7 series, one of LAEA3 or 4. For my experience, I strongly recommended LAEA4. If your budget is tight and do not mind MF, buy cheaper adaptor from eBay (about $15). At least LAEA1 is not useful. Good luck!

I just got mine today and it was based on the fact the company said they only sell the A02... Well it says A01 on the box. WASTE of my time, I'm sending it back and will NEVER use this company again. If you can't be honest about the product you sell, you're going to get bad reviews.

To add to your question, you should Google different areas. here is one I found. http://reviews.cnet.com/blu-ray-players/sony-bdp-s185/4505-9991_7-35069566.html

That I'm not sure about. There's a 4.1 in my identifier. But why not try it for the price. They are good aboutreturns. I wasn't satisfied with original and sent it backfor a replacement thats working much better.

Get the 981 for sure...It's the best quality one, for your quality set. Isn't that what you want, quality? Ijust got my Oppo 981HD and I'm telling you I'm amazed ....You can buy standard DVD's now and watch them in 1080P. . . My new 5271F 120 hz series from Sammy is Mind Blowing clear picture quality, almost 3D at times...Now I have this to go with it . What are you waiting for? Later . . .

I ordered two sets from amazon. One set was OEM Sony replacement pads and the other set was clearly a lesser quality product which was not sony. If amazon would just ship out exactally what you order, there would never be an issue. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Seems like each of these makes has its quirks. I just gave away on old (4 years) Toshiba DVD recorder that did OK for its time, but the menus were very unintuitive, and the manual was in broken english. I guess I could always pick up a D-R410 at Fry's and if I don't like it, return for the Panny when it's in stock. Fry's also has a Sony RDR-GX360 for the same price as the Panasonic, and it seems to have the same ins/outs and upconversion, but I can only find one user review out there and it was bad. I hear that Sonys are picky about the DVD brand you use, plus they're the "source" for the industry restrictions on recording HD, so I don't want to support them. Thanks.

I bought this unit on 2/16. After transaction with sales person, merchandise pickup person says, "Oh, looks like the last one just got carried out of the store, we'll have more in Saturday". Then they pushed out to 3/3. It's now 3/2 and they just told me today they'll be getting more in on 3/21. WTF? Do they just have no clue it's been discontinued or is Sony going to send out a few more for orders that had already been placed?

I apologize. I looked up my past orders to see if it had a number- to no avail. I can tell you BOMBAY Electronics is the seller and the description is ALL MULTI REGION FREE (0-6) DVD player by Toshiba. Whatever you do..do not get a sony..it I s not- and I ordered that previously and it was broken. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Larry. For a month I've been teetering on the brink of getting the Oppo 980 or 981. The street price of, maybe $170 would be acceptable. I also have an A-35, with a backup A-30 in the closet in its box.I've been having a lot of fun ordering HD DVD's from Europe. When the supply of HD DVD's dries up, if I had an Oppo, the Region Code, and NTSC/PAL wouldn't matter and I could switch to import SD DVD's.Anything to mess with censorship and marketing plans.

The Z ultra I have is a C6833 which is the 4G version not available from sony in the U.S. However, even though it was made for Hong Kong and used here in the states the 1 year warranty is good according to the sony rep I talked to today. He did say repair time for warranty work may take longer because it would be shipped to country of origin. The good news is sony products rarely need warranty work.

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus
