Any thoughts on it? It seems like a newer version of the Silhouette SD.
I had the original silhouette and upgraded to the Cameo.
Absolutely love Silhouette America Electronic cutters 
I am thinking of I should get this for my sister..hmmmm anyone else getting one?

How is it different? I looked at it but didn't reallt understand what this does that the SD and Cameo don't. | |

It has the same power as the cameo, but 8x12 size like the SD, so it's less expensive. | |

I'm really intrigued by the new cutter. I've been wanting a Cameo for a while now, but one of the reasons I've held off is the 12x12 size. It just seems like it would take up a lot of space. I'm going to keep my eye on the Portrait, but I'm a little disappointed at it's price point. It seems like I see people here getting the Cameo for not much more pretty often. | |

I don't see any advantage over the sd.
The cameo can not cut chipboard or grunge board, so it's no more powerful than the sd. (edited for clarity).

I was thinking that. But, the retail price of the Cameo is much higher, so maybe the actual sales price of this will lower as well.
I like the flexibility of the 12 x 12 machine. And it is much smaller than my old cricut, so I am good for now. If you really had a condensed space to work in, I can see where this would be a good buy. | |

I'm not even remotely interested in this. I bought the Cameo and I own the Cricut E and Gypsy, I can already cut smaller, but I love cutting larger. My money will stay put. I was hoping they would come out with a machine that cut thicker materials or as someone mentioned in another post; I 'd love from them to create a machine like the Gypsy or an APP to create away form the computer with the software this would be way more revolutionary then creating a machine cut smaller. Been there done that with the Cricut machines, I'm not interested. | |

Oooo I'm glad I dropped by the boards before I bought the cameo. Space is limited for me so I'm seriously considering the portrait.
ETA: Ok, I've already changed my mind. I just read how the Cameo allows some cutting when detached from the computer. I'd really like this feature. So I'll sacrifice the space for the Cameo instead. | |
