1000 has 0,02% pitch resolution
800 has 0,05% pitch resolution
1000 is a lot sexier
1000 has a waveform display
1000 has a slot for an sd card so you can store as many cue points as you wish, 800 only has limited internal memory

can't think of anything else atm as i haven't played with either one.

1000 has (that the 800 doesn't) in additions to what he said ^^^^

Hot Cues/Loops
Adjustable Platter resistance
Separate Brake and Startup adjustment (800 has one setting that controls both)
Higher Resolution Display

The main one is the pitch resolution for me though - .05 is less than half as acurrate as .02 - Some people don't think it's worth worrying about, however thousands of professional DJs will argue otherwise.

PS I'm no pro.

The 800 has hot loops that the 1000 doesn't have.

Another big difference was the platter. The 800Mk1 has a very loose platter, but they fixed it on the MK2 to match that of the DVJ-X1.

The 1000 has 4 choices for tempo (+6, +10, +16, +100)
The 800 only has 2... (+10, +100)

800 has Quick Return, 1000 doesn't.

1000 has an eject lock.
1000 has cd text.

in other words, the 1000 is more customizable.

It's a beat cutter, not a hot loop.

This is not a difference between the 800mk2 and the 1000mk3! Sorry to be picky!

.02 always wins, i would much rather have a clean used pair of cdj 1000 mkI's than brand new 800 mkII's.. were talking the same price here.

I am quite happy with my 800 mk2s. Wasn't willing to shell out another 5-600 each for what is in my opinion a minimal upgrade for bedroom djing.

it doesnt affect your mixing whatsoever. anyone that thinks that the 0.03 is a difference is talking nonsense. ive used both and havent noticed any difference in terms in of cueing the beat and holding it.

wow!!

a hell of alot of good points there.....

the price difference between the two is crazy!!

ive used the 1000 an they are brill but never the 800 but am leaning towards them because of cost, like it was said earlier... they are only for bedroom mixing!!

i heard alot of mk1 1000's arnt even as good as a mk2 800 and that they are prone to freezing!

If you have half a brain and can add at a very basic level you would retract your statememt.

Or maybe Pioneer got it wrong and put a feature on a top of the line deck that no one needed.

Statements like this really do my head in - I mean come on - it's one of the most sellable feature of the 1000.

Those that say they can hold a mix for just as long with an 800 as they can with a 1000 are talking bollocks. And thats a scientifically proveable mathmatical fact!

if it was such a great feature then why would they put in the 200 which is at the low end of the price scale

mathmatics doesnt come into i dont need to hold mixes for longer that a minute anything over that and im over mixing a track i tend to keep it at around 45 seconds which on the 800 holds perfectly fine.
