panasonic dmp-bdt210 vs dmp-bdt215: Does anyone have any idea what the difference between the two models are?

No Difference at all!. BDT215 is packaged for large warehouses like Costco, BJs and Sams. This is to avoid price match wars with mainstream electronic products dealers. It includes a cheap HDMI cable ( not worth more than 5 bucks) in the box. The Avatar 3D offer is good for both models. So whereever you find it cheaper and convenient to buy (remember Amazon for most states is tax free) you can get it.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

Touch-Free Sensor on my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ PlayerYes, this week, I encountered the same problem with my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 (which I purchased in December 2011): the touch-free sensor has indeed stopped working on my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Player. At the moment, I do not know how to fix it; I will be investigating this issue with Panasonic.I will follow the path to Panasonic Support (http://shop.panasonic.com/support/?support=y)... wondering if this issue can be fixed.

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean.At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

The differences are minor, except for the Netflix feature. I've got the Panasonic BD-35k with NO Netflix, and a Insiginia with wireless Netflix and it's awesome !!Netflix offers HD streaming that is outstanding (no extra cost).I would highly recommend to the people at Panasonic to provide a firmware update so the BD-35k could stream. The salesperson at Best Buy said it would happen, but a year and a half later...nothing. I'm not sure if Panasonic wants to keep my business.Go with the Samsung.

It will do both but I cant recommend this camera! After short periods of use the cameras' sensor developed "dark spots" that look like little black clouds on every picture. I thought it was a fluke or something I did. I bought an identical one and the same thing happened within 2 weeks. They can not be used for anything that needs a "clear" now picture and I will not buy another Panasonic of this type.

Actually, the DMP-BD85 comes with the DY-WL10 adapter that you connect externally (i.e., there is no wi-fi antenna "built in" to the blu ray player). As we all know, the WL10 can be connected to the TV or the blu ray player, which leave me with my original question:"I have a Panasonic TC-P50G25 HDTV and a BD-85K Blu Ray player. Both devices have USB ports that are capable of connecting to the Panny wi-fi adapter. It's not clear to me whether it is best to connect the adapter to the HDTV or the Blu Ray player. What are the advantages/disadvantages of connecting the adapter to the Blu Ray vs. the HDTV?"

Hi, Joe, I really don't know the difference between these two models. At the time of purchasing, I just got the only model which it supports 95Mb/s transforming rate.

Panasonic TC-P50G25 50" Class Viera® G25 Series Plasma - FREE HDMI Cable + MP3 PlayerPanasonic DMP-BD85K WiFi Enabled Blu-Ray Disc Player (Black)The DMP-BD85 comes with wi-fi capability already built in. You don't need DY-WL10 adapter -- Ok, that said, you may experience problems with getting a connection with to router. Look on-line for how to set-up manually if it comes to that. Can't help with the BD85.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

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.

These are the two camera's I am also deciding between. I have heard such good things about the panasonic...but I have no idea how they compare!

I bought the BD-30K about a week ago after reading way to many tech reviews and forums.I chose it because it's the latest version and have been very happy with other Panasonic components as well as the connections for 5.1 Dolby accomodate my older Sony Receiver. Set up was easy, picture and sound are great. There is a flicker upon initial upload that takes a few seconds to stop, not sure if this will be taken care of with firmware update 1.2 that I haven't done yet. The best part of this is the upscaling of older standard def DVD's they look so good I have no interest in updating any to Blu-ray.

THE DT-210 seems to have most of the same features as the dt- 200x but it does have more preset station capability. I am very happy with the one I have but have never tried this model.
