Why is the sand Version $100 more than the White or Jungle versions? is this a more capable version?

No. It seems to be just looks. It does look cool but given the fact of these things break easily it's not worth spending any extra.

It is only a few hundred more than the D3 introductory price. The frame buffer upgrade alone justifies the price increase. Not to mention the increase in ISO performance. They took a great camera and slapped in some great enhancements. This isn't marketed toward people who have a D3, it is for those who do not.

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

I don't know the feature differences between the units, so I can't suggest a direction based on that. I usually fall towards buying the most up to date platform since this is an investment and you likely will have it for some time. An extra $100 is probably not significant given how you will spend even for the DS1512+. I can easily say that the DS1512+ will easily keep up with 2 users. I have 4 in my household, iTunes library, photo library, Movie and DVR library feeding 4 Rokus (streamers). Granted all is not active at once but never has the DS1512+ bogged down, except when I ask it to trans-code a movie on the fly. It does not have enough CPU for that, by design.

Follow-up to my earlier response after checking availability on Amazon.com for the Nomad Case. Only 3rd party sellers are showing and roughly $70 is best price. ($70 was near the original WD retail price when first offered.) KEEP LOOKING! Best Buy had this on clearance last December (WD no longer offers Nomad) when I picked it up for 12.95. Other search engines and shopping sites likely have a better offering. IMHO, this really is a terrific case, especially for the My Passport Ultra line; since the drive sacrificed robust motion dampening built-in to achieve the small & thin drive...but I am not sure the case is worth the current $70+ asking price.

I had previously answered with details of the Artisan 50 but was not aware of the L100. Curious, I started searching for information. I found the L100 mentioned only on European sites; I'm not sure it's even available in the US. One Indian review I read panned the printer, labeling it "expensive for a single-function printer, noisy and slow."

After having purchased both I am not sure if it is the exact same product. It is very similar in texture but the tube of blue sand I got at Brookstone seems to pack better and hold its shape a bit stronger. It's also priced more steeply there at $25 for 2lbs (so buying the equivalent weight of this Waba Fun box would be about $125). Considering the price difference I'm very happy with the Waba Fun purchase and it is still a very good and similar enough product.

I believe the only difference is in the color, as I had the exact same question. Seems like some colors cost more than others.

I'm struggling w this question too. So far, it looks like the 937 main floor unit (nozzle?) has a different form and looks like the front of the unit might be lower, smaller, to facilitate getting under things and cleaning edges. But I sure would like a more clear cut explanation of reason for the $100 higher cost. Heck Panasonic even uses photos of the green one (917?) to illustrate features of the 937 - very confusing. I don't want to pay +$100 just for purple.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

I did some research on this a couple of years ago and as I recall there is a different model for HD. I do not have the HD camera so did not need the HD version. The HD version was a bit higher in price.

Well, the first and obvious difference is about $110. Second, the 851 comes with the wireless accessory kit to where the 850 has it as an additional add on. That and a slight difference in design, They appear to have all the same specs as far as functionality. I don't pay much attention to the freebie software they throw in with these things, but maybe that's part of the price difference as well. For me personally, the freebie software is free for a reason.

I believe the $99 one is slightly wider and/or holds a bit more weight. I got the $99 and I love it. Just perfect for resting when I cannot walk too far. I have also used it to observe a golf tournament, on uneven ground, and it works perfectly.

I don't see any difference....looks like that would be the place to buy it. I got it in Sept from amazon and paid 90 bucks. I'm happy with it but I also don't use it much.

Not really sure... I have the SR model which seems a bit cheaper. The SRW may have some tweaks in design and features but otherwise, they seem to be about the same.

The one I got has the rougher finish on it, but I actually like it more. The para cord it comes with does not seem to be real 550 tho. Not a big deal since you can get virtually any color at your local Walmart for 3.99$
