710 vs 720: Are either pretty user friendly for a beginner?

You might not care yet as a beginner, but the Digic II processor (but NOT the Digic III) can be modified with the third-party CHDK firmware. This means that, down the line, you can turn on all sorts of advanced features in the 710is (live histogram, RAW format, intervalometer, etc, etc, etc) but not in the 720. I have a 710 and absolutely love it.

Steve, regarding your question. I'm not sure. I returned the 720 due to lack of tv tuner and replaced with the new operating system.

I tried the HS 20 not once, but twice -- because I thought the first had to be a bad copy. It wasn't. Both provided a nightmarish experience, leaving me with the feeling that anything would be better than the HS20. In that context, I'd opt for the 7000. But in the broader, more realistic context of the year 2014, you should rule out both the 10-year-old 7000 AND the HS20. Immediately, and irreversibly. Even if they cost you nothing, you'd still be wasting time, energy, and precious moments.

Hi I am using 18-300 with D 7100. Results are amazing. Check out the site of Ken Rockwell. Its very good for reviews and compatibility questions like this. ~ menon

You probably would not notice pixilation with 720p and definitely wouldn't see it with 1080p. One thing you should consider though, is the definition of the source. I use to have a projector displayed on a wall (150ish inches) and standard def looked fine to me.

If you could do an A-B test between 720p and 1080p, I think you would be surprised at how little difference there is. Differences in the specs are 99% marketing-generated.

I have never looked at or used a 7100. I own a couple of d7000 cameras and have had very good results with my battery grips.

For me, someone who is not tech minded or into complicated things, the 707 is fine. It's a good value if you just want to play music, and don't care if it's in alphabetical order. Does not have advanced features, so if you're looking for more in a player, this may not be for you.

yes, 1080p is better than 720p and you will notice a difference even at 20ft away (given the source material/player/source is in 1080p)!

C874 does 720p Beautiful, and the picture is clear at high bit rates. about 50 dollars less, up to you. if you need HDMI and 1080p go with Elgato, if not C874 is perfect.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

The projector is pretty clear and can display at 1080 all though 720 is native. Its pretty bright for movies at night outside.

Your image quality will be second to none when comparing against the 28-300. We have the 35, 50 and 85 (all 1.8), and we couldn't be happier. May look into selling the 28-300 and getting a 70-200 in addition to the 3 primes.

720 but it's also1020 but you've got to go to settings screen to change to1020.

7000 is supposed to deliver better lows, the better option is the 5000s with a sub. Even with the 7000s i would still use a sub, so there is no benefit for the extra price.

Has anyone had any problems with audio/video being out of sync? This reviewer had problems with this on the 720 model: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TPJCPHOD8OK8/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004QOA92A

I researched both units. The biggest difference is in the speakers. The Right/Left on the 7200 are the tall-boy units (3 piece instead of 2 piece speakers). On paper they actually perform poorer (lower rated range), but I bet in person reviewers say they are better (especially on mids). Also, the surround speakers are 2-way speakers instead of 1-way.Also, it will upscale video signals to HD(your RCA VHS player, DVD player or game console). Overall, I did not care about the upscaling and the slightly better speakers were not enough of a selling point for the 7200. If you are serious about speakers, you can always upgrade the speakers later on to ones even better than the 7200. I researched both units. The biggest difference is in the speakers.
