Panasonic DMR-ES20K DVD Recorder
Excellent, but ...
I love it. Great experience with a few glitches. When I transfer from SONY camera I used DV input. Sometimes, in middle of transfer the image freezes on screen and all I can do is unplug and plug again PANASONIC's power cord. I lose the recording, I lose the space on disk, have to redo it. Also have to keep a sharp eye on time counter when recording. Through DV, after you push REC button, it won't start until you push PAUSE, and that is good. Through LINE, using S-VHS or Composite (all front panel, did not try back inputs) it starts the moment you push REC button. This means you either must let the source roll first, or keep an eye on counter to hit PAUSE in the first second. <br />If you would purchase it again? Definitely YES.
