Help! nr-70 or nx-60?

[14925]

I have the opportunity to buy either or. Assuming pricing that is close, which one. Yes I know that the NX-60 is already being phased out, and that the nr-70 is phased out.

Thanx

I've got the NR, and the reason I like it slightly better than I would an NX is that the cost is lower right now and there's no big "CF" slot that I'd never use (seeing as I don't use WiFi...and that's all it's good for at this point!) I would like to be able to use Wondersilk, and OS 5.0 is nice, but not necessary. I couldn't afford one of the big Memory Stick Pro's, so that's not really a problem.

First, the NR has more RAM available to it.  NR-15MB; NX=11MB.

Also, having the camera is a great little thing.  Trust me, you'll find uses for it.  For example, comparison shopping: Take pix of the items and price tags instead of jotting down notes.  And if you have small kids, forget it it, you'll use the camera all of the time. 

Most importantly, however, is that that NR is compatible with external keyboards AND IS SUPPORTED BY PiDirectII. 

Unless you really think you'll use the voice recording and CF WiFi, the NR70V is the way to go.  The NR has much more useful (not bells and whistles) functionality to it.

Hey! I never thought about the comparison shopping thing...great idea!!

It was great for furniture shopping, both for my office furniture and for my daughter's bedroom set.  But that was just a random example.  I needed to see if a garage door opener could be installed in my garage (the ceiling has some joists that might have interferred.  Took a picture and off to Sears to show the guy.  Picture was worth 1000 words.  Answer was no.  Good thing I didn't waste the money on the opener.  Or I wanted to get a new towel hook for the bathroom to match ones that were there.  Click.  Off to Home Depot to find the perfect match.  I could go on and on.
