Which is better? XRS 9965 or Vedetta SLR 650G?
1394167
Suzy, I bought the Vedetta SLR 650G back in July because I wanted the screen and thought it might help with camera's in school zones here, but it doesn't pick them up, but, it does have an option to add them. Additionally, aura updates were hard for me to access, but I submitted the issue online at cobra and was able to download initial data/program and update within a day. Hope this helps.

I would go with the 650 G because it's much more modern and has lifetime aura updates myself. I like it quite a lot in fact. The models before this were no slouches on radar but some people complained that their 9965 had display problems in that a strange line would appear in it's display after a while. The 9970 g doesn't appear to have that problem from what I read. I would just get the 650 because the price for these two detectors is pretty close to each other. If I could pick up a 9970 g I would even now if the price was right. It's a excellent detector too. Not that I don't like my newer version. I do. I'm just a detector hoarder. :) I would go with the 650 G because it's much more modern and has lifetime aura updates myself. I like it quite a lot in fact.

The Vedetta 650g is much better. It has a greater detection range, bigger screen, and is EXCELLENT. Why buy last year's model when the price is about the same?

Hands down the SLR with its many features and multi color display is by far better than the xrs.

The slr 650G has a nice display. I like the spedomenter that large and you can see from on top of the dash istead of looking at your display behind the wheel. Only problem I have had is the speed sometimes goes wackey. says 6 to 15 mph while not moving. Unpluged and started and seems to be fine. Still like it.

I have been going back and forth with the same question. I have read all the reviews and opinions I can find on both. After going to the local store and playing with the TZ5 and the 100 (since the 110 is not out yet) I did not find many major difference from the point of view of a novice user. The two main difference I noted were 1) the TZ5 is more compact and I really liked that, however 2) when I zoomed in with the canon on a small sign the image was crystal clear, when I did the same with the TZ% the same sign was very blurry, not even close to readable. This decided it for me. I went with canon.

I'd say it depends on how much money you have. If you have a gazillion dollars, and like to upgrade your electronics every time a newer version comes out, then yes. If not, then wait ~2 years and upgrade from the XT to the SuperDuper XTi++ Championship Pro Extreme. (The Canon digital SLRs seem to have about a 1.5 year life span before being upgraded.)

XBR7 is better than XBR6 if there is little no price difference, or if price does not matter. Samsung LN46A650 to save money has same PQ. Sony XBR8 or Samsung 950 series are even better, but at a cost.

XS is a 6 year old product. T3i is three generations ahead of it. T3 is a much better and faster camera than Xsi. The processor and sensor are much much faster than the previous generation products. If you can shell out, just go for T2i. You will get much better low light performance.

I personally am getting the T1i for my first DSLR. I have a film SLR and an advanced P&S; type camera that I use now. I consider myself and advanced amateur and understand how to manipulate the manual settings. The XSi and the T1i are not vastly different as far as how the menu's or controls are set up. The T1i is more advanced as far as sensor, megapixels, LCD screen resolution, and the fact that it can do video if you want it to. For the extra money, I want the T1i's extra features.

I own both the SX30is and S95. Of course the 95 can do RAW and the 30is can't so that is one thing to take into consideration if you do a lot of Photoshop work. Even with it's fantastic zoom tests (see this test I've posted elsewhere:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C1e05eKoiEI still like the sharpness and versitility of the 90 - and end up using that for most of my friends and neighbors shots, parties etc. Both cameras have their place and Canon has done a great job.I spent many years hauling around an F1 and various lenses. It's so nice to have these two cameras, both of which fit in one bag, to do almost everything my old films SLRs did. I am very pleased. I own both the SX30is and S95.

One of the differences that i am aware of in the 2 cameras is the a65 has a plastic body, the a77 has a titanium body. That was the selling point for me. Also i believe the a65 does not have the same megapixel as the a77. All in all i think you get more bang out of the a77, the price difference between the 2 was not that much to sway me from the a77. Feel that amazon has a good price on the a77 and would recommend the a77 any day of the week, very happy with my choice.

I cannot offer a nikon/canon comparison however I upgraded from a S90 to the S120 and am VERY VERY impressed. Amazingly fast user interface, bright rear screen and long battery life are some of the high points. Low light performance is AMAZING compared to my S90. The difference is almost like the change from T2I to 6D full frame in my canon SLR! The bad? Still no RAW converters out there, not even DXO though they report one coming later this month.

I've never owned a Panny FZ70, but I did own a Panny FZ40 and I will say the FZ40 is a fine camera with excellent image quality. That being said, I love the image quality on the X-S1 and overall I think it is a better camera. I don't know about anybody else, but I had a problem with dust and dirt getting inside of the FZ40 camera's lens and it made the camera unusable. The X-S1 is an amazing camera and it is built very solid with many metal fittings instead of plastic pieces that you find on a lot of cameras. I love the manual zoom as well, it's got a pro-camera feel about it, I wouldn't trade my X-S1 camera for any other out there. The filter size is 62mm which I highly recommend getting to protect your lens. I bought a Fujicon clear UV filter lens and a Sigma polarized lens as well for bright sunlight days. I couldn't be happier with my X-S1 camera.

Why not get both? For photo shoots I'd pick the xS but for long treks into the wilderness (like three weeks on a backpacking trip) I'd pick the smaller camera, the G12. Those smaller cameras' lighter weight will be a godsend after hauling 30+ pounds on your back for three weeks, and a pound of camera is nicer than three or four pounds the xS would be with batteries and lenses.

I bought this to use with a t2i/550d. I think the junk on the 650d is the same so it should work fine.

I had a film SLR before the Canon S50. Now I only want a smaller camera that takes great pictures. The S95 probably is a great choice.

The 650 model is the exact same picture. Just a bit thicker body and a couple less features. And no buzz, if you are concerned.

I really can't compare because I've never used the A65. I like the a77 and specifically like the weather sealed body. Camera takes great pictures when paired with a good lens.

I'm running the same research and here's the comparison, WX1: in addition to the HD video, its 24mm wide angle is precious in daily shootings (indoors, group pics, ...). It also has 5x zoom. And the CMOS sensor is supposed to be a notch better than CCD. The build quality is good and it's smaller than S90 except the thickness. It's also $100+ cheaper than S90. Battery life is rated at 350 shots v. S90's 220. S90: Manual everything; RAW; F2@28mm; SDHC card; external flash. The DSLR advantages have been the interchangeability for lens and flash. S90 takes another bite on those claims while providing the convenience and accessibility. If you're going up from Point&Shoot, WX1 is the winner; If you're going down from DSLR after the form factor, you'll miss less features with S90. Either is a great camera that will take wonderful pictures in the right hands.

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise. Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.
