Thank you, Ken. I'm new to digital photography. I'm grateful for folks like you who take the time to answer an amateur's question in such explanatory detail and depth.Billie

I think there is no difference. It depends on the price. You will be able to choose better one for you. Good luck.

Our unit is the RHD800 and have been very happy with its operation. In reading the info on HDR565 appears the only difference, other than color, is the lack of bun warmer. If funds are an object I would go with the 565. The bun warmer on the 800 is ok but no great thing. Also, I have seen prices from $21 to $75 for both these units. Amazon has best price. We have been happy with how dogs are cooked. Keep in mind when the info says 8 dogs at a time, they mean 8 regular not longs. Hope this was helpful.

I have been deliberating over the choice between the two bino's also, can't find reviews for this thing ANYWHERE on the net! Do the dielectric coatings really add that much? Really hoping this thread will get somewhere. And Whitney, could you post the link for the review you found?

It's comparable. Eheim media is definitely better, but it's also much more expensive. If you're using this media to fill up a canister filter and need a lot, get it. The difference won't be incredible. However, if you're trying to maximize the performance of a hang on back filter, or a canister filter, go with eheim and don't look back.

It really depends on the size filters/lens that you have or want to use. I have a ton of 58mm lenses so that is why I bought this one. I imagine that they both are of good quality but again, it's all about what size lens you are going to be using.

I purchased the 1.4X, after doing research on the results of both products. From what I read, the images stay "sharper" at the edges, with the 1.4x. I have used the 1.4X, and have been very pleased with the results. I do intend to purchase the 2x, understanding that the clarity may not be as good.

There is not much difference between the two but a mere $8.00. In both, the head swivels and there are levelers that will make your settings straight (up/down/sideways/etc). The only difference I can guess is the material's thickness. My previous tripod was a Precision Design 58 much stronger legs, but the head broke. There are not available anymore, I wonder why. If you have the extra $8.00 you might consider buying it but for less you would not notice the difference. As with any tripod, I would never leave my camara unattended unless am taking self pictures and then I would be carefull. Hope this answer your question.

the major difference between HDVR-150 and HDVR-180 is the resolution. HDVR-150 is FHD 15 frames by software, HD 30 frames. 1 Mega pixel. HDVR-180 is FHD 30 frames by hardware, HD 60 frames. 5 Mega pixel. That is why HDVR-180 is much clear than HDVR-150. Depends on user, HDVR-150 is quite good enough for the general use. If you prefer a very clear videos, HDVR-180 has it. thanks Marie

Basic difference is the opacity. Higher is the number, darker is the filter. Yo should use filters for long expositions pictures or if you have cleary lenses (f low, for example 1,2). Also you can use these filters to take pictures of light sources, such as sunsets.

Well its funny you ask...my buddy just purchased the MTAC and after testing both of them out. This is what I concluded.Clarity...Both are equaldurability...Both are equalthe only advantage I see is that the Bushnell is more compact and the reticle doesn't cover the target as much and it is easier because of the lever to switch magnification. I like my Bushnell more than his burris but he likes his over mine cause he likes the large reticle. I have no complaints and love the scope. Both do slightly bleed in super dark settings on full brightness but all you do is turn it down 3 clicks and your there. Hope this helps.Justin Lincoln Well its funny you ask...my buddy just purchased the MTAC and after testing both of them out.

Yes it is Multicoated. You will see on the ring that is says "Hoya HMC". The HMC is Hoya's designatin for "Hoya Multi Coated". This is a great filter and find myself using it more and more all the time for long exposure shots.

UV(C) passes much more ultraviolet light than UV(0) filters. Additionally, the Pro 1 coating is a little more transparent and easier to clean. Finally, the Pro1 rim is higher quality. See hoya's website below: http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/generalfilters/uvcslimframe/

Hoya Standard filters have one layer of anti-reflectant coating to each surface of the glass to suppress reflection and increase light transmission. HMC (Hoya Multi-Coated) have 3 layers of anti-reflectant coatings on each surface to reduce average reflection down to 3.0% or less. Hoya S-HMC (Super HMC) also have 6 layers of anti-reflectant coatings. Finally, the Super HMC PRO 1 is made of thinner glass (only 1mm thick), also with 6 layers of anti-reflectant coatings bonded to each surface of the glass.

I had the 52mm it is 5/16" thick. Oh ! it made in Japan. I did had a few 77mm but not Hoya. Hoya made a good filter but not the best one.

I did not buy a Hoya polarizer, but I do have the tiffen, which I would definitely not recommend. Because when I looked thru the polarizer to see a LCD screen and rotated, there is no change of the strength of the light, which means there is no or minimum polarizing effect. It can only to be used as a protect glass. I would recommend a B+W or Hoya. Do not waste money.

In days past Tiffen was a good quality middle of the road (cost) filter. They've cheaped them up to point I wouldn't own one. Hoya is a similar filter. The best filter's I've used over last 45 years are by B + W.
