As per title, I had a Samsung SR275m but was not impressed for several reasons. Firstly, the picture quality was really soft (both HDMI and scart on Sony 32" LCD) on all inputs. Recordings were not fantastic either.
Had a JVC DRM10 before and picture was excellent (s-vid) - Although it was unreliable and half of most recordings would fail - was returned for repair many times.
What would you recommend? I've got my eye on either Panasonic DMREZ27 or the Sony HXD890B?
It would be a bonus using DVD-Ram (which the sony cant do) but the Hard Disk in the Sony maybe very useful. Although Im not sure if I like the idea of the Sonys early morning download routine!
The priorities for the recorder would be...
Really good / sharp / detailed picture (no blur or softness)
DV in
Most recordings made from RGB scart (Virgin Media)
Reliability
Anybody used both? I think Im edging towards the sony (but it is a bit more cash)
Many Thanks
