Panasonic DVD-L50 Portable DVD Player
Ho-hum...Just another 5 star review.
There's little I can say about this machine that hasn't already been said 10 times before.  I can only perhaps persuade some users of the older model L10, why it may be time to move on up the latest model, the L50.  The fact  that the the L50 will accept video and audio inputs (like from a video  camera) without first having to remove the battery was a selling point for  me.  Also, the L10 sounds terrible through its speakers.  I can only stand  to listen to it through headphones.  The L50 has a much more pleasing  sound, although admittedly still not great.  But at least, I don't have to  go running for the heaphones when I turn the L50 on.  True, the L50 has a  smaller screen, but oddly enough I don't seem to particularly miss the  slightly larger screen of the L10. The Li-ion battery of the L50 is a  definite improvement, although I have been warned it's only good for 300  charges.  On the plus side, the cost of these batteries have already  dropped from around $250 to about $180 and hopefully may drop even more.   And the weight - forgitabouit! - the L50's too light to believe!
