what is the difference between this model and the newer one?

The only difference I see from the pictures is that the steamer hole area seems to have a different design. The old one is a smooth opening, whereas the new model seems to have ridges around it.

The older unit is the same as the newer one. I am not sure what changes were made. I have the older unit and bought the newer unit for my son. As far as I can tell, they are the same. It may be internal or in the software. I did see the older unit has a better description and a view of the back of the unit. Both units include 1080p output.

I don't know since I don't have the older version. The new one is very efficient.

Don't really know if there is any difference. I tried to replace the old one with exactly the same and it worked perfectly.

It is different than the one I got. I'm not sure of the year of either model.

I couldn't see any hardware difference. Externally they are virtually identical. I had a previous version that broke. That's why I was able to physically compare the two. However, the newer model comes with a new software that the older one will not get upgraded to. The new software does the same thing that the old software did with the exception of a new Android mirroring thing. If you have a modern smart phone, such as Samsung Galaxy S3 or newer, you can show in your TV exactly what is in your phone screen. I don't think it would be worth buying a newer version just for this feature but, if you are buying a new device, you should get the newest version to be sure to get the latest software updates.

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

Sorry, am only familiar with the one we own and which we like we like very much. Not familiar with the other model so can't offer a comparison.

I don't know the difference. All I can say is that the one I bought has been working fine for nearly 3 months now.

The new one is made of fancy plastic and the old one has some metal. The new one is slightly sharper. Another major difference is that the old one has 77mm filter size and the new one had 82mm filter size. You have to be pretty finicky about image quality to notice the difference.

The picture is clearly the new model. This is misleading if people are getting the older model. The current model is a significant improvement. This posting should be reported to Amazon, as the picture is luring people into thinking this is the current model.

I have had mine quite some time and forgot the model numbers. The new one is better. Construction and usage.

I'm not sure if I can answer your question, I'm not familiar with an older model, but this one is better than I expected and my wife absolutely loves it. And she usually shies away from new technology. She used it yesterday to go to a hockey game in another state and had no problem with it. It took her right there.

I've used both. I think the newer model is worth the extra money. The screen resolution seems better to me, and the newer model is more adjustable. Also, the auto-rotating screen is a nice feature.

No, No. its most likely a similar better or same or the newer version. if you need the exact model do not get it

I don't know the difference, but this is the one I always get since it's the one I've been using and it works. Why mess with it?!

I'm not sure which is the latest model. As far as I know this is the 2012 edition
