Page 1 of budget dvd recorder wanted advice pls

Allready got a panny e50 which im happy with but looking for a dvd recorder for upstairs for the daughter. Any ideas whats ok money a bit tight at the moment so the cheaper the better really, video plus would be an advantage to format not bothered with +r -r any really thx.

If you can wait till late March/early April then get Panasonic DMR-ES10. Although it will be priced at £199, when supply is plentiful in early April, many online retailers will give around 20% discount, so you should be able to purchase it for around £159 to £169.
Although it`s cheaper than the E55 & E50, colour gradation is 400% better & in LP mode the picture is twice as sharp (over 500 lines horizontal resolution)
Also the superdrive system gives a super fast response time of 1 second to record & playback.

The machine could be made cheaper because there are fewer parts used with a more integrated LSI. Also some buttons such as time slip, channel selection & fast forward/rewind are missing from the unit & have to be accessed via the remote control. It`s no great loss, since I`ve got the E50 & E55 and I always use the remote to access those functions.
Plus it`s the only mainstream recorder that has playback for all current DVD formats as well as recording on DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW.

At £199 or less it`s excellent value. I`ll be getting it to add to my E50 & E55.
