This months (Nov) What Hi-Fi gives the Sony RDR-HX900 top marks.

Close behind is the Panny DMR-E95H.

If you want something cheaper I see Richer Sounds now do the Panny DMR-E85 for £400 - less for region 2 models.

The rating was 5 stars, plus the 'Group test winner' badge.
Their praise, 'Breathtaking ability', '...best recorder on the market right now'.

Their only gripe was the remote 'Isn't that sexy'!

That price seems good - the quoted price is £700. It might be worth 'Googling' for a better price - you never know.

Personally I have a Toshiba RDXS32 and am very pleased with it. Lots of vigorous discussion of all the leading models at http://www.avforums.com/
look under the DVD recorders and Media forum
