    In reply to Denon's DBP-2010CI and DBP-1610CI Blu-ray Players: Pay More for Less
    One of the issues with Blu Ray players is that they don't replace an excellent CD/audio system. If these have really good audio outs, then I'd think the prices are justifiable.


    Plus, in the weird wacky world of hi-fi audio, these prices aren't even that high (not that Denon makes such awesome sounding audio gear anyway). So if these things do what they say - great blu-ray + great CD audio (able to replace an aging one trick pony CD player) hooked up to a great set of speakers - then $500 / $700 doesn't sound so bad to me.


    People are still paying thousands of dollars for CD players that do nothing but play CDs, after all. OK, not entirely rational people, but living, breathing, wine-sipping people nonetheless.

    Question: My TV automatically upscales non-HD content. I think this is a common feature in HD sets now. Does that undermine the utility of DVD player-based upscaling? Is this upscaling "better" than the kind done in the TV?

    @The Lab: The upscaling in a good DVD/BluRay player is generally going to be better, and provide you with a lot more options than your TV.

    Gizmodo - Brought to you by the fine folks at Denon. Remember kids, if it isn't Denon, it's probably good equipment.

    @350z-racer: Yeah, same. Not sure why anyone would consider anything else actually (aside from the videophiles - who still have a pretty puny argument, or people that just outright HATE Sony products as a whole.)

    Is that really a titanium frame or just titanium colored frame? I hate it when marketing specialists decide to pull that trick.

    @Software_Goddess: Yeah, I reread it myself a few times. I think it's titanium...part of it at least "...a titanium body with a premium hard coating enhancing durability..."

    @Software_Goddess: Sony does use titanium for a few of their more upscale gadgets, so it wouldn't be unheard of. For example:

    The problem I have with these camera that are claimed to be high def is that the quality sucks as soon as the lighting condition is non-optimal. Even a cloudy day will shows the difference.


    Sub-Compact video cameras are nifty but doesn't work too well.

    @weezeee: I have a high-def subcompact and it works better than any camcorder I have ever had or could ever have due the simple fact that it gets used. If it can't fit in my jacket pocket, all it'll record is an occasional birthday... if I rembember to charge the battery.

    Hmm.. I'll soon need to replace my dying Xacti HD700. Question is, do I wait and get this or the Xacti HD1010? I guess the HD1010 as it's been out for some time and is much cheaper at this point.

    @Evodico: sub-compacts simply do not work as good as you think, when compared to a regular camcorder.


    I had an earlier generation of Sanyo Xacti HD video cam (got dumped in the water by my daugther, but that's another story for another day) and they are not even close to my Canon VIXIA HF-11. If you want to skim, do yourself a favor and get the Canon HF-10 -- it will cost you about the same

    @weezeee: For camcorders, it seems like Canon, with its Vixiae, has become the new Sony.
