520 vs. 510 Which is Better? How come 510 is still #2 on the top selling list?
774970
I appreciate the reviews, and have my decision: a 2nd 510 it is. I've had a 510 for about 1 and 1/2 years, and it finally fell apart. I admit I treated it a bit rough, throwing into my bag, where it would get tossed around and beat up. But the sound quality never waivered, and I loved it the entire time. It was probably the 5th headset over the years, and it was the only one comfortable, stayed on without having to mess with it, and had excellent sound quality. Now that I need to buy again I was evaluating upgrading to the 520, but can't imagine it would be any better, except perhaps more slim-line (but not worth the other benefits in my view. I'm going to get another 510 - I love it! I appreciate the reviews, and have my decision: a 2nd 510 it is. I've had a 510 for about 1 and 1/2 years, and it finally fell apart.

I owned a 510 for a couple months before it accidentally went through the laundry. Loved it. Very clear audio, great volume, very comfortable.Recently decided to buy another, but went with the 520 instead, for something different.Really like the new one, but must admit it is slightly less comfortable (but still comfortable) and audio is slightly lower and lesser quality (but still quite good), based on my experience.I don't think you could go wrong with either one. But if I had to choose between the two again, I'd still choose the 510 over the 520, but just barely.My rating:510 = 9.5 out of 10 stars520 = 8.5 out of 10 stars I owned a 510 for a couple months before it accidentally went through the laundry.

i would have to agree with the previous review.i used 510 for a year and i began having some problems with static. this turned out to be a device issue and not a problem with the 510. however, i changed to the 520 thinking it would be an upgrade. the 520 has some issues with static when the paired device moves around, and in general i noticed a drop in the audio quality. i'm selling the 520 and moving back to the 510.

on the 5100 vs a55 snapshot has 3 glaring errors in the side by side data....So take their conclusions with a grain of salt...

I own a 510 and think the second lens is a huge advantage--assuming you have a need for a telephoto--which I do. If you don't either would be fine. If you do as well, compare prices with comparable lenses and see ifyou feel the Xsi deserves the even greater price premium--it would not for me

The 520 seems nice but, I think I'll go with the e-510 when I get a back up. Olympus has the best lenses in my opinion.

We think you'll find the website snapsort.com helpful, it is a great way to compare any two camera models. They actually show that the D5200 is a slightly better camera, here's the link for their comparison:http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D5200-vs-Nikon-D5300

The only thing I'm not high on in your Costco package is the 55-300mm. I'm selling mine because it's just not up to standards. I've heard good things about the 18-55 and, of course, the 5200. Check out the Amazon package of JUST the 18-55 and the camera body for 749, then think about something like the 70-200 or the 80-400 - both excellent pieces of glass. Good hunting!

do you think the 325 is as good the the 550? What's the difference other than price?

HiAS far as I know there can be compatibility issues when using that lens with a entry -mid level range body. I myself use the d300s and work perfectly with it. The best bet is to go and try it first (if you can). Great lens tho. If i can give you advice, try to sell off the 5200 and maybe get something like the d300/d7000 or if you can a d700 or d800. Hope this helps

Dar, I think the E510 is a great camera. I also have a E500 which is also a good camera, but what makes the E510 better in my book is the in camera stabilization. I think if you get the 14-42 and the 40-150 mm lens you can't go wrong with the 510. I was at my Grandson's birthday party today and took about 130 pictures and I'll be put some on his webpage " oldpalmerton.com " by the end of Sunday ( 24 Feb. 08). You can check out the type of pictures you can take with the E510 and a 40-150 lens. Good luck with what ever camera you do get. Greg

The 520k comes with a nice plastic box and the 520 comes without the box. Just by itself. No box

The difference is the 407 doesn't have a foldable hanger which is plastic and the and it has a 40oz tank, rather than the 510 having a 46oz tank, which provides 50 minutes of continuous steam, versus 45min with the 407. Hope that helps.

I was having the same debate, limiting my choices to the Fujitsu 1100, 1300, and 1500 because Amazon's sales rankings are often if not usually more reliable than any single review or opinion. But then I saw a review in MacWorld (the most authoritative Mac magazine) that ranked the Canon Scantini Formula P-150 above both the Fujitsu 1100 and 1500. Unfortunately, they haven't gotten to reviewing the Fuj. 1300 as yet. But given Canon's stellar reputation and performance in printing and multifunctionals, I'm now leaning toward the Canon Fromula P150. It's $259, which can't be a whole lot more than the Fuj. 1300.

I've never used the dwd520 drill but looking at the description, the 520 is also a hammerdrill if you need that feature. The amps are the same and the 10 amp has enough power to drill through concrete. The only difference I see that you may want to take into consideration is the weight. The 520 weighs 14lbs as the 210 only weighs less than 7lbs. Another thing is the 210 has a variable speed as the 520 does not mention that in the description. The 520 also appears to look longer then the 210. That may be important if your working in tight places. There both made in Mexico but come with a 3 year warranty. I hope this info helps.

The 510 is only a manual flash when on the camera. The 500 is TTL on camera. Read more here: http://flashhavoc.com/yongnuo-yn-510ex-ttl-slave-flash-released/

I too own a Coolpix 520 and had lots of problems like you are - its a 58mm. Bought a uv filter and went through several before found the right size.

According to the Vita Mix rep the 1782 is two speed and five year warranty. The 5200 is 7 year warranty and variable speed.
