This was my first miter/chop saw and I looked around alot before buying it. I compared Dewalt 723, Craftsman and couple of other models from home depot.
Dewalt was twice as expensive ($209) and Craftsmans from Sears was pretty darn cheap and althoug you could buy a sliding compound miter for less that $200, the quality wasn't good. There were many complaints about cheap plastic parts and even cheaper angle/cut quality. Other Ryobi and Makita were similar to Hitachi and Dewalt, but werent' that popular and couldn't find many reviews.
After all this analysis and talking to couple of contractors, they suggested that Hitachi is equally good and I ended up ordering one from amazon.
I arrived in 2 days (with free shipping) and since the blades are new you could you use it to cut moulding right out of the box. But may be when you cut 2x4s for few months, you might need a newer blade with more teeths. The construction of the saw itself is strong and it comes with few accessories.
Dust bag isn't very useful as it captures only part of the dust, but that's true with all other brands as well. I haven't tried mounting it on a stand, but have heard people complain about incompatibility with Dewalt miter stand.
Used it couple of time for miter and compound miter, and all the angles were perfect with fine cuts.
I highly recommed this saw.
BTW, its cheap @ $125, but the price here fluctuates alot and I was able to get it for $99 + taxes + free shipping.

Nothing but Hitachi, from here on out
Hitachi C10FCE2 User Reviews By J. Patterson (Tomball, TX (just outside Houston))
I received this saw as a Christmas present in 2007. I've used it nearly every other weekend since, and the only complaint I have is with the manual. This was my first miter saw so I wanted to be sure that it was put together correctly, but the instructions were nearly incomprehensible. But, since I'm a guy and am used to not reading directions (j/k) I figured it out eventually.
This saw is very powerful relative to other models in this price range. I had looked at the Dewalt saws, but didn't really think the quality of construction was the same since Black & Decker bought them out a few years back. I've used this to cut 4x4" treated posts and it slices through them like a hot knife through butter, with no motor lag at all. The sawdust catch-bag is a nice feature, but doesn't catch it all. I wasn't expecting it to, and having ANY of it get caught is a plus, and simply less clean up for me once the project is finished.
After receiving this saw, I did some research and found out that all Hitachi power tools have a 5 year limited warrantee. I've blown through 3 drills - 1 Skil, 2 Black & Deckers (guess I didn't learn) - on my trip to the Hitachi brand, and will never buy anything but Hitachi tools from here on out. I would recommend this tool to anyone that is looking for a professional quality tool at a decent price.

Customer Review Hitachi C10FCE2 from Amazon.com
Great Saw, Great Amazon Price
bought this same saw about a year ago at Lowes, I paid something like $150 for it. It's a great saw, really smooth and comfortable to use. Works great for cutting trim boards, but I've also used it as a chop saw to cut 2x6's, it doesn't bog down one bit when cutting larger stock. It's a little heavy, but to me that just means it's built better. It's also quiet compared to other miter saws I've used. This is definitely a great deal! I'm almost tempted to buy a second as a backup!

About - Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw
Amazon.com Product Description
With the C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw by Hitachi, you'll make quick work of projects such as crown moldings, picture frames, and other angled cuts in two planes. Featuring a 15 Amp motor and a no-load speed of 5,000 RPM, this saw will let you handle even the toughest cutting jobs with ease.
Make Cuts Confidently and Quickly
The C10FCE2 has a 15 Amp motor that provides plenty of power for the most difficult cuts. The 10-inch blade lets you make long cuts to save time, and the thumb-actuated positive stops let you select preset points at specific angles, resulting in less set-up time and faster adjustments.
Swing and Tilt for Beveled Cuts
A compound miter saw is essential for making compound cuts, thanks to its ability to tilt on both of its axes. The C10FCE2 has a 0-to-52-degree miter angle range to the right and left, and a 0-to-45-degree bevel range to the left with bevel stops, giving you the range and precision you need for exacting work.
Built for Comfort, Generously Proportioned for Easy Work
The saw's horizontal handle with an elastomer grip reduces vibration and increases comfort and maneuverability. A dust collector attachment reduces airborne particles for your comfort and safety.
You'll have plenty of room to work, thanks to the saw's large table. And its large extended flip fence raises up to 4 inches for vertically cutting crown molding. The carbon brush is accessible and user replaceable, so you can easily extend the life of the tool.
The C10FCE2 weighs just 26.3 pounds, making it more maneuverable and portable than others in its class. It is compatible with the Hitachi UU610 miter saw stand. It is backed by a five-year warranty.

This is my first Miter Saw so i have nothing to compare it to but i think
that it is a great Miter Saw. Just to start off this saw costs 140$ at Lowe’s
and i bought mine without a laser. A wise man once told me that the blade does
that cutting and not the laser, and he wants to see where the actual thing
that’s doing the actual cutting is going to actually cut.
