770 vs 790: I don't think I need the viewfinder and like the larger LCD on the 790, but am concerned about the scroll wheel being too loose on the 790 (cnet review). 770 is appealing because it's smaller. cnet does think the 790's pictures are...

I really cant speak about the 770 as I have and have only tried the 790. It's an absolutely fantastic camera. I love the large display, honestly the view finder is something i've never used in this digital age. I like you, kept kicking around the idea of getting the 770 and just thought the view finder took away from the sleek look that the 790 has. As for the click wheel I've used mine often enough from late August till now and havent had any problems with it becoming too loose. If anything I think its a little to stiff. I'm not sure if your familure with the ipod touch wheel but its the same concept, you just need to apply slightly more pressure. As for image quality the 790 takes stunning photos. Feel free to take a look at the customer images section. The first two pictures of a wormy bug and bee are mine (I also have a few others there) I think the colors came out true if not better than real life. All I used for those pictures was the digital macro and the best steady hand I could muster. I'm not a great photographer and in the eyes of a great one i'm probably not even good; but this camera lets me fake it. I have a pictures of actual water lillies (also on here) and was told it looks like a painting. This camera just seems to do all the right things on its own, even without going manual. When I was comparing cameras I came across the same image remarks you have. In the end I decided to go with the 790 over the 770 and haven't looked back one bit. I previously had a sony cybershot dsc-p200 and the 790 is above and beyond. I'm a true Canon fan now and would recomend the 790 to anyone.

I too am wondering the same question. Picked up the 1100IS the other day for $150 but now I see the 770IS for $160. I know MP's aren't too important on the little cameras (not DSLR's) but can't help to think the 770IS is better because of it. Anyone have a tech opinion of the two?

Really nothing, only difference between the 2 is the core clock, wich if you overclock at all you could overclock the 1 to match the other. But basically the 770 is a charged up 680. Its same chip GK104, the 770 has a better memory clock than the 680 and the 770 has gpu 2.0 boost wich the 680 doesn't. but all in all there the same. I ve got the FTW myself and its been great, no problems here.

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

This is one of the top 3 or 4 notebook video cards out there at the moment. If money is no object the 780 is the fastest in the nvidia family but the 770 is still well worth getting. You can go to notebookcheck.net and check out the specs and framerates of all the latest cards. You wont be dissapointed w the 770 or 780 good luck w your decision.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

I think for normal resolution it may be fine but from what I remember the larger amount of memory is needed for running higher resolutions. The 780 is now a dinosaur. Not sure what your budget is but I'd go for a gtx 970.

Well if you have the money, save for a 970, more performance and better power consumption. If you are still getting the 770. You should check your PSU if you have 2x6 & 2x8.My msi 770 came with 2x8 standalone connectors that u can use on your PSU but i didnt need it. MY PSU(Corsair CX600) has 2 2x8 connectors. Get a 600w Good PSU(Like corsair or seasonic or something)

You are correct. The 68xx series all have a sturdy 770M within their cover.

Thanks I appreciate your input. My main reason for asking was because the price difference between them is only 100 bucks which wouldnt be too much in the long run. I can fully appreciate that the D3100 is more beginner friendly. I just don't want to regret spending an extra $100 once I become less of a beginner. The swivel out LCD seems like it could be useful. Maybe not, what do I know. Anyway, thanks for the input. I do appreciate it.

I ran them both in our conference room and I ended up keeping the 1070, I think you'll be disappointed in the resolution of the MW821 as I was. After seeing both in action what stuck out far more than everything else was the better resolution of the 1070.

It's all subjective. I personally selected the W230 over the W220 and W290.I needed the 3 inch LCD view on the back. It was the best fit for me, in the Sony line. My old camera only had 1 ¼ inch LCD.I do think the larger the LCD the more drain on the battery. But I compromised to accommodate my poor eye sight..Good Luck

The 780 ti is faster and cheaper. It might be a bit closer at super high resolutions like 4k but still go for the 780 ti

My understanding of the differences is the 880 is suppose to be a little more powerful than the 790. It may be but I'm very satisfied with the 700 series. The remote is convenient but not necessarily needed. I do know this product does what it advertises it will do, so you should be happy with either one.

I had the same problem as you. I chose the A620 yesterday and purchased it off of Amazon yesterday as well. I was reading reviews and the differences between the two and they are truly miniscule (A700 has a .5" larger NON SWIVEL screen, only uses 2 batteries, and is slightly smaller), which does not at all justify the $40 price difference (according to Amazon pricing, of course :P). According to cnet and dpreview, the picture quality difference between the two is neglible and I perfer the swivel screen included in the A620. Also 6x vs 4x zoom really doesn't matter; if you want a decent picture, you wouldn't zoom too much anyways. Had the price been the same, I *may* have chosen the A700, but if I can save $40 dollars for having a slightly larger camera than uses 4 batteries, I'd choose saving the $40. All that matters to me is picture quality and they are both equal in terms of that.

I own the 720 and I have never had a problem with this camera. I have dropped it about 100 times and I take it in the water all the time. The picture quality is good. It seems that a lot of people have had flooding issues with the 770, I know I have never had a problem with the 720 and I have had it for three years now. I recently bought the 850 for my sister and it works very well.

why do u want a view finder? I have an old S110 and I can never recall ever using the view finder. I want the 40D but my wife says no. So I'm thinking about setteling for the 790IS. The rest look like cheap plastic.
