Which Projector Do You Think?

[Rick1486]

Hi - I'm looking to replace my ageing HS10 with one of the following models and would appreciate some advice & opinions.

The choices are as follows (unless anyone's got anything different);

HP v6321 - sourced probably from HP Sales Direct.
Themescene H30A or Themescene H57.
Infocus 5700.
Sanyo PLV z3.
Panasonic PTAE700.

I'm looking for quality/reliability/decent warranty/competitive price/good lamp life/reasonably quiet and able to put up with a not necessarily dim/dark room.

Hope you can help.

Cheers
Rick

Lofty this is the panny 700 onto a 5ft screen from 10ft away it will zoom to 6ft wide from this distance, the shots were taken handheld and un edited so some camera shake may be obvious. But the pj is spot on quiete with excellent connectivity. and now very cheap.

I've done a bit of ringing around and it seems that the h57 will be the way to go for me - I've also heard that the z3 is on special as there definitely is a new model coming from sanyo and basically they're trying to get rid of surplus stock.
Still for myself, it seems that I just need to get the absolute best price I possibly can. Anyone know who's the most "flexible" dealer?

Another thought - what do you lot think would be the better bet between the h57 and the benq 7700?
Let me know
