which is better? XRS 9970G or Vedetta SLR 650G?

I have had both the 9970g and currently using the vendetta... I lean more towards the 9970g more seemed to pick up way more, tell when emergency vehicles approaching, and railroad alerts. Kind of got annoying but worked great

Kind of hard to say considering I have not owned the XRS 9970G, I chose the SLR650G because of the digital display, and a lot of the reviews. The digital display is really nice because from a distance it looks more like a navigation GPS than a Radar Detector. Since if have got it, it has saved me numerous times in the Nashville Area.

I bought the cobra vendetta, and it no longer functions properly. It only detects cops when you ar e right next to them and then only with a very weak signal. It worked great for the first 6 months or so I owned it. I think it has something to do with the county getting all new police cars recently.

I personally like the 650g better, I liked the display, and the fact that you can rotate and flip the screen. Camra updates are simple and quick. The only thing I do not like is the alert volume is some what quiet.

Both are nice cameras. I own a700 and a900, bought the a99, difficult to get used to. Totally different beast. If you get one, do not get rid of the 700 until you are convinced. Joe

Hands down the SLR with its many features and multi color display is by far better than the xrs.

Thank you Tech Guy. I think I will stay with my current Rebel XT (350 in Europe) as it offers my great pics but not so fancy, large, back-LCD. I used to have a Canon EOS RT which was heavier and more robust than Rebel, but I got used to the smaller, ligther camera now. Video, I can live with the videos my wife gets in her Nikon Coolpix pocket camera. Lenses I have upgraded last year to 28-80 and 100-300 both USM. So being an amateur photographer, I think I will spend the extra bucks in something else.I have some of my pics posted in http://www.sxc.hu/profile/sebadanon which is a nice free stock photo site.

The difference between the two models, the XRS 9965 and the XRS 9970G is that the latter includes GPS and can detect "RED LIGHT" camera zones and other speed traps, the "AURA" database is free to update for the lifetime of the unit. It's definitely worth the extra few bucks.

The D600 has had a known issue with the sensor; recently a class action suit was filed against Nikon, and the judgement was that Nikon needs to repair those units and Nikon has recalled them. i believe by doing so, you will be getting the new D610, which is an excellent upgrade. I do not see the D610 vs. XT-1 as an either or - they are both excellent, but different, and the D600 will still produce superior images due to its sensor characteristics. I love my XT1 and I love my Nikon D700, and D800. Different tools is all.

I'd say it depends on how much money you have. If you have a gazillion dollars, and like to upgrade your electronics every time a newer version comes out, then yes. If not, then wait ~2 years and upgrade from the XT to the SuperDuper XTi++ Championship Pro Extreme. (The Canon digital SLRs seem to have about a 1.5 year life span before being upgraded.)

Wow I never have Spoken to an actual goddess before. So I better get this right:)To be very honest I'm not sure of everything. But I know it has higher resolutions and more points of aim. The high speed shutter rate is faster. Reading some of the other reviews people have said that the motion tracking is much better on this one. But I've never used the 65.Hope it helps.

There are several things: a) XR1370 looks a "classier" product; b) it has a better digital display (shows minutes) for remaining charge; c) if you travel (and I do) it has a travel lock that prevents it accidental turning on - simply applied by pressing the on/off button for three or four seconds; d) has an excellent grip great for using in the shower or shaving "wet" with shaving cream; e) there is little difference in the price - Amazon currently offer XR1370 for $89.99; f) it gives a great shave - especially "wet" with shaving cream. Hope this helps!

I have both the A77 & the A99. I use the SAL-2470Z on the full frame camera, and I use the lighter and less expensive SAL-1680Z on the A77.

I was deciding between these two myself last week. I ended up going with the 780is because of the high def video as well as the inclusion of the viewfinder - which is small, but useful when you're running low on battery and still need to take pics. I just got the camera on Friday and have been taking tons of photos and they are brilliantl! I love it!

The differences are The A65 has a plastic body vs a magnesium alloy plastic combo on the A77, The A77 shoots at 12fps vs 10 for the A65. A77 has a Max shutter speed of 1/8000th vs 1/4000th on the A65. The major differences are mostly cosmetic. If you go to www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyslta65 you will find a listing of the differences. As far as a recommendation I think either camera is a good choice. Choosing will depend on budget and the features you need the most.

I've only had this model for a few months, but I had the earlier model for nearly two years. Both offer great performance, are very reliable and take excellent photos. I spend most of my time out-of-doors in rough terrain and all types of weather. Have had no difficulties with either of them.

The XRS 9965 is a newer model but without the lcd display and maybe a bandwidth or two. The lcd helps show alerts visually

The key difference to me was that the 900EXR would shoot more frames per second than the 850EXR. Plus the 900EXR had some additional attributes, which the 850EXR did not have. I bought the 900EXR and am very pleased with it as a travel camera, particularly the settings for "beach" "sunsets" etc. The wifi, raw, and gps capability seemed worth something also.

Why not get both? For photo shoots I'd pick the xS but for long treks into the wilderness (like three weeks on a backpacking trip) I'd pick the smaller camera, the G12. Those smaller cameras' lighter weight will be a godsend after hauling 30+ pounds on your back for three weeks, and a pound of camera is nicer than three or four pounds the xS would be with batteries and lenses.

Suzy, I bought the Vedetta SLR 650G back in July because I wanted the screen and thought it might help with camera's in school zones here, but it doesn't pick them up, but, it does have an option to add them. Additionally, aura updates were hard for me to access, but I submitted the issue online at cobra and was able to download initial data/program and update within a day. Hope this helps.
