Strengths: Excellent picture, big screen (with swivel capability), lots of control opitons (see comments), decent battery life
Weaknesses: Speakers, no volume control on remote (but nothing to quibble over)
Summary: I'm pretty impressed with this little thing. The picture quality on this player is excellent. The speakers sound "tiny" and have absolutely no bass, but they are probably better than most other players I've seen/heard. If your in a car, headphones are a must, or get a device to play the audio through your car stereo ($15-$25). The player has the option to either input or output the A/V so you could play video games on the run or you could hook up a VCR and watch VHS...be creative! You can also change the viewing angle to 16:9 or 4:3. The player also has a "zoom" function so that you can zoom in on widescreen videos and get rid of the "black bars" at the top and bottom of the screen (very nice). The battery should easily last you through two full movies (3-4 hours). The player comes with A/V cables, a car charger adapter, and a carry case for the car. A "real" carrying case needs to be bought separately. The car case is strictly for the car (to mount to the back of your headrest, or your sun visor). Comes with a remote, but remote has no volume controls : ( oh well.
The only problem I've had with this player is on some videos I've watched it paused the video for a moment or it would skip to the next chapter. These were rented videos so it is possible that the disc's weren't in that great of shape. I've watched a total of 6 videos on it with this "skipping/pausing" phenomenon happening on 2 of the videos. I've only had the player for a couple weeks, so I'll keep testing!
Overall, I'd say this is an excellent player for the price range it is in. I bought mine at Circuit City when it was on sale for $279! Circuit City will match any local competitor, so shop around!
