MP 780 vs. new MP 830? Can anyone help with salient differences between them? The MP830 may be too new to know, but wondering if this is the better machine. Thanks

The only difference I can see is that the 830 has a built-in memory card reader. Pull the card out of your digital camera and print without a computer.But, maybe I missed something...

The auto document feeder now duplexs its copies (can automatically copy both sides of a sheet) on the MP830. And there's a significant improvement when printing graphics and photos due to the higher resolution on the MP830. The display is in colour on the MP830, and you can preview your photos on the display. There's also a card reader in the MP830. And finally, the MP830 prints all documents faster than the MP780.The MP830 does use different inks; the chipped ink cartridge makes it hard to refill (but not impossible; doing so will increase the likelyhood of voiding your warranty).

By the way , Donna, I love the MC3000!! There is a new mapping on Virtualdj.com on forum that will allow you to independently control 8 separate samples with the sample buttons instead of 4 as was the usual setup!! Great controller! Enjoy!

I was wondering the same question (560 vs. 460). In reviewing the product descriptions it would appear that the 560 does not have Nexflix (or other online streaming) capabilities. Can someone confirm that this HAS been added to the 560? Thank you in advance...

I am considering the 880 / 770/ or 1100. Leaning to the 880- overall I think its a better value for vacations and everyday use. I went on the canon site and di t the product tour. No mention of a movie mode on the 880. I need that- in VGa. That will help my decision. Thanks

I would recommend people to stay away from wirefly.com. I had bought a MPx220 from them 2 yrs back. It took them an year to send me the rebates. I had to meticulously wait for 6 exact months before I can file my rebates and it took them some frustrated emails from me to get my rebates back. So watch out.

Has anyone compared the quality of stills from these cameras? I like the faster burst rates on both these cameras (I shoot a lot of sports with my kids). I rarely shoot over ISO 400 and I do not have the capability to print larger than 8x10. Which is the better output in terms of images?

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar.Thanks.

Somebody has to be kidding. Discontinued or not! The replacement is the M570 (I think it is still available) for about a 10% of that price. I have both and they both work very, very well.

You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy the S800 as much as I do. it's my fav bird:)

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

Anyone have any REAL idea about how the Panasonic SD-YD250 is? That would be my only alternative now... but, I am now weary about buying a breadmachine online now. Although Amazon always makes it right, I don't have time to be sending defective machines back.

While the new cartridge is chipped on the MP830, the ink is better. That said, the cartridge costs more on the MP830. Then again, the graphic/photo print resolution on the MP830 is vastly improved over the MP780.

I think I remembered reading somewhere that the 800 does not have a manual mode; vs. the 700 does and the 800 does not have many different shooting scenes, while the 700 does.Also, how is the construction on the 700? I thought I remembered reading that the 800 seemed a little un-durable? True??

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?

No, you're not!! When the 830 behaves good - she is very, very good. When she is bad she is horrid!!! There were quite a few issues with the machine when it first hit the shops however, I can say quite honestly after a few trips to Bernina for upgraded parts mine is working the way it should and I am happy with it. My only gripe with it is the size of the hoops-from small to gigantic with no decent in between size like a 150 x 150 square or. 200 x 200 square and there are thousands of other people who would like this size of hoop but Bernina doesn't respond. If you are having trouble with your 830 you can always send it directly to Bernina in Cardiff and they will service/repair it for you.

I had the same question. i got a good price for the 830 and its slightly upgraded. I am very happy with it.

Thanks, KS, for commenting about the similarities in the specs. I'm trying to decide between an 850/860 and a 750. And I gotta tell you ... in the store today, the picture on 8's sure seemed crisper and more 3-dimensional than on the 750. The 750 was outstanding, no question! But the 8-series took what I might call depth-of-field to a much higher level. But I don't value the thinness of the 8's, and I don't care about the sound (separate amp, etc). The prices are about the same (for my purposes). I just want the best picture, and the 8's looked better. Can you help me to understand why the 8's might have looked better to me?
