Other than the shape, what is the difference between the 590 and the 790. Also, what does 1.0 vs 3.0 mean?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe a few more bells and whistles are the only difference between 590 and 790. I think the 790 has a mopping function. Not entirely sure. As for 1.0 and 3.0, the 3.0 is the latest and greatest. Better software, more cameras, better functioning. Hope that helped

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to decide between the 7411 & the 5914. I've seen the reviews, both seem to be good. It's my assumption that the 7411 is a newer model and it's only $20 more. Is it worth the extra or will the 5914 be just as good?

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

Care to post the specs? I'm thinking about getting a 708 whenever it comes out and would really like to see the specs to compare it to the 608.

Like the others, I'm not certain, but the feature set seems very similar except for dual flush volumes on the 970 model. I can't account for the apparent cost difference between them from what I see here. We love this model (950) and have had it for about 1 1/2 years without any problems.

I don't know the difference. I have the 8893 and it performs very well. I cannot imagine what more "bells and whistles" one would need.

Here is the comparison page from Oppo's website: http://www.oppodigital.com/dv981hd/dv981hd_comp.html The main advantage of the 981 is the Faroudja chip, which delivers better-quality upscaling on non-DLP displays. The 981 also offers better-quality PAL-&gt;NTSC conversion than Oppo's other two models. Otherwise, as you pointed out, the other two models offer a lot of additional features (I wish my 981 had a memory-stick or USB input!). However, since you have a DLP, you probably want to get the 980 anyway (as the chart indicates). The Faroudja has a notorious "macroblocking" problem when used in conjunction with a lot of DLP displays.

I love the size of the 780 but keep reading about audible motor noise in videos it records. However, when I read about the 940, no one seems to report this issue. There's an excellent deal on the 780 right now and I'd love to pick one up, but not if the 940 avoids the noise issue. Can anyone here speak from experience on this? I can scour specs and reviews, but some real-use feedback would be helpful from SD940 owners.

You might not care yet as a beginner, but the Digic II processor (but NOT the Digic III) can be modified with the third-party CHDK firmware. This means that, down the line, you can turn on all sorts of advanced features in the 710is (live histogram, RAW format, intervalometer, etc, etc, etc) but not in the 720.I have a 710 and absolutely love it.

I cannot speak to the difference as I have the 612 model. I love it and have no complaints about it whatsoever. I highly recommend it. Sorry I cannot speak to the difference for you

This question was asked a few months ago, but I'm wondering if it's changed yet: is this model truly the 2.0? With 1, 2, & 3hr settings plus intermittent setting? It says it's the 2.0 model, but shows the old model. Anyone get one recently who can verify or even better, upload a pic? Thanks.

I can confirm 100% that the 720 will work in a 790 or a 760 base. I bought it for this very reason and mine is working fine.

I believe it's just an older model number. I haven't found anything with any difference between the two of them.

Obviously, the omission of 7.1 is the biggest difference as you have already mentioned, but I believe the 570 has 80w per channel compared to the 606's 90w.

As far as I can tell, there is no difference. All of the specs are identical - I thought maybe it was just an "updated" version. Hope this helps!

To clarify Seargold: The big difference is that the S560 uses a wireless internet connection while the S460 uses a wired internet connection. Wireless is only better if you can't easily run an ethernet cable to the location of the BluRay player.
