CNET Review
The Good: Records video to DVD or VHS; outstanding recording quality, especially in LP mode; HDMI output; slot for Secure Digital media cards; flexible custom recording speed; DVD-RAM compatible with editing ability; FireWire input.
The Bad: Subpar HDMI upscaling video quality; some disc compatibility issues.
The Bottom Line: Excellent recording quality and an HDMI output make the Panasonic DMR-ES45V a top contender in the DVD/VHS recorder market.
