Basically the size is the difference. It uses the same software and works basically the same. Loading the paper is different, on the original you have to manually turn a knob on the side of the machine whereas the cameo has a push button control button. There is no way to stop the original once it starts cutting and the cameo has a pause button with the option of stopping the project. So far those are the differences I have found. I had the original Silhouette ( it sits housed in my closet waiting for me to sell it) and once I quit being intimidated by it found it a wonderful tool. My Silhouette has only got about 6 months of actual running time on it but it is 7 or so years old. Hope that helps! |

I only have the original silhouette so I can't tell you the difference. I am really starting to use it more. I would rather spend money on something I don't already have. Just my 2cents. | |

Outsidechic; just wondering...
I have an original Sil and use print and cut. I design in the software and have my image print to my printer and then load to my Sil to cut. Is there something else you are meaning? | |

I use the print and cut on the Original but it doesn't work consistently for me.....maybe 1 out 10 tries. The optical eye isn't as a good as on the SD or the cameo. Maybe that's what "outsidechic" is referring to. But I don't use the feature much anyway.
I would only upgrade to the Cameo for the cutting size (12x12) | |
