Pros: Nice widescreen (16:9) format. Picture quality is quite good, also is the sound quality. Battery life is quite good, and HDD space is very handy for backing up photos.

Cons: Slow to uplaod photos from a CF card. It occaisionally freezes and you have to remove the battery to fix it.

Overall: Nice unit. I use it primarily to back up photos, which it works a dream for, even if it is a bit slow. There are few other devices out like this in the same price range. You can go an Epson or a newly released Canon for a couple more $$$. But i find it does a relatively good job. I didn't give it five stars because of its freezing habit and the fact that it isnt the quickest thing every made, but it certainly does the job. It really does come down to the same old saying. You get what you pay for! It comes with AV cords to connect to a television to either view photo's or videos, it also comes with a case that protects the screen quite nicely, and it also comes with some decent software which is nice. It is overall a really good unit that i would purchase again if i was given the chance!
