Difference between Hoya 58CIR or Hoya HMC ? Does the more expensive HMC give that much better results to justify the price?

Yes it does. I would never consider using a non-multi-coated filter on a digital camera. The reason is simple. The sensor has a flat glass protecting it (called a low-pass filter - LPF). Some light will bounce off the LPF and head out the lens. Since lens elements are multi-coated and curved, very little light will reflect back to the sensor. But since the front filter IS flat, you can get a lot of light bouncing back. If you use a non-coated, or single-coated filter, you get a lot of light reflected back into the sensor. This shows up as a loss of contrast (veiling flair) or as ghosts and hot spots. Multi-coated filters are designed to reduce this effect, but cannot eliminate it. This is a real problem when you shoot into a light source. When shooing into a light, ANY filter will degrade the image. Multi-coated filters are much better, though.

the hfs is more powerful and more expensive than the hf. the hfs lens and chipset if better as well. you pay more for better quality

I have the dolica (bought from costco) the Mefoto feels slightly sturdier and has a better build quality but I do not think it warrants 2x the price. I have used the Dolica on and off for the past month and its excellent for the price...If they were the same price I would easily pick the mefoto over the dolica though

The Hoya HD has "Made in Japan" printed on the edge. With the Nikkor 18-105 there are no vignetting problems. Do you have other filters stacked or possibly a lens hood causing your problem? The other possibility is the zoom stop may not have have been adjusted correctly from the factory and it goes a little wider than it should.

Check the differences (features, video quality) between the BL-C131 and BB-HCM581 in these recordings.http://www.tenm3.com/blogs/?p=243The 581 has 21x optical zoom which is very useful in certain applications. It also has a wider range of Pan-Tilt.Uploading to Youtube degrades the video quality but you should get an idea.Both cameras are behind a glass window.You can also go to the above recordings by going to the 'blogs' page at www.tenm3.com and looking for the "network cameras - sample recordings" post.

The vortex lines up with my eotech well. The biggest difference between the vortex magnifier and the eotech is the picture window. You definitely have a larger viewing window with the eotech. This does not make a lot of difference at 100 yards and for me, the price of the vortex made it a much better buy than spending another 500 on eotech

If you do even 30 seconds of research you'll see that people don't know what they're talking about. The Onkyo product page AND the page linked on this page BOTH say that the HT-RC460 supports 3D. http://us.onkyo.com/Products/model.php?m=HT-RC460&class=Receiver I don't know if there's any difference between these models. I opted for the HT-RC460 because they had nearly identical feature sets. Onkyo seems to have multiple product lines that overlap on certain models. The HT-RC series, the usually higher priced TX-NR series and they also have a premium brand called Integra. Some forums get into arguments about possible higher quality components being used in the higher cost products, but others contend that the internals appear identical and cross-branding of components between Onkyo and Integra happens inside.

I don't think there is any difference there. But my suggestin don't buy either. Better buy 798H secura. It's way better plus it's self cleaning. I got 997MC and I am tired of cleaning Regret regret and regret that I got it.

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.

I believe the High performance is equivalent to the HGN filter. The Premium is equivalent to the HG model. See the Leveluk Enagic website for more details....

I've changed my mind, decided and ordered the HF100. HG20 seems much more expensive than it is but, after a while, for about 15-20 minutes, disc part disturbed me, first time handling seems better but after a while, HF100 excels in this category.I didn't see any quality difference from HG20's 24Mbps recording on my 40inch fullHD Toshiba LCD, seems identical..I liked both menu's, not very different.I've selected HF100, including 2 16GB SDHC Cards, one more silver 809S battery and a charger..I think I did the right choice...Best price/performance ratio including one of the best video quality...

Here are some reviews of both. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/100HS/100HSA.HTMhttp://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/300HS/300HSA.HTMI recently had to make the same decision, and tried out both the 300HS and 100HS. The image with the 100HS was sharper every time. Colors were pretty much the same, both seemed slightly saturated (easy fix with settings), but fairly accurate IMO.I wouldn't spend the extra $50 for a bit more zoom, especially at the cost of image quality.

I got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.

If you bought the same unit I did the 83/200 didn't provide the downscan and HDI promised. Had to buy the HDI transducer after the fact. I called Lowrance and asked them about this. The guy I talked to said some people don't want the HDI downscan feature of the unit. I said really? Why would you buy an HDI finder if you didn't really want it? Anyway, no. Hook up the new transponder to your unit and keep the old one if you plan on adding another finder to the bow on a trowling motor etc... I'm thinking of selling the 83/200 on e-bay or my local shopper for the ice fisherman. The angle of the transducer is also important. need to play with it a bit. great unit, enjoy!

As Bill Schindel said, the specs are very similar for both. For the difference in price, I would recommend the Yonguo -- you can 4 Yonguo YN-622C for the price of one Canon. I have been very impressed with the build quality and performance. While it doesn't have the LCD readout, you can control pretty much everything from the camera menus. And one thing it has which the Canon doesn't is an IR focus assist beam on the front, which works very well.

It's been so long that I have forgotten. Gave those two cams away sometime last year and have not looked back. Save yourself the grief and buy a HikVision DS-2CD2032-I or ....2333-I for less than a hundred bucks on AliExpress. As with most cameras, the Hiks do not require any special software: you just log into the cam's web page.

The price difference is caused by the scope size. The 9 mm on the DCT 411S1 model can squeeze into smaller spaces. Hope this helps you select which model will better meet your specific needs.
