Digital camera reviews of Panasonic DMP-BD30K 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Digital camera Review: Better than 1080p?
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know sony does it(blue ray).But now I know how they won the HD war.This player was as cheap as the sony and all aspects of it's operation and function'installation,and set up are simple and quick.Picture is amazing,even compared to 1080p satellite!Digital camera Review: Blu Ray player that works
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this unit a day or so, and watched 3 movies. So it's not a comprehensive review by any means but here's what I found.
a) the picture is almost as good as the Toshiba HDA20 I have, but it seems the HD DVD has the edge on action scenes. The Blu Ray seems to have some artifacts, noticed this the most on "Layer Cake"
I did try to switch to the 24 fps mode, but the player refused to do so, even though I have a 1080p Scepter TV. This might be the TV as it was their first 1080p set.
b) the complaint about the missing ether net port holds no basis, in the manual they describe needing to download and burn a CD with the updates. Since you'd need internet either way and a CD costs a few cents.. not a problem.
c) compared to the horror stories I've heard about the first couple of generations of sony machines this baby boots up almost right away, faster than the HDA20. It does seem to sit and think between menu selections, which the HD discs don't do.. but it's not really a problem.
Price is high compared to other machines, but this one works fine.
Right now it's 4 stars as I don't know if the 24fps is going to work and it's a bit pricey, other wise I'd say 5
The 24fps works like a dream with the samsung tv. It's certainly the way to view Blu Ray that has this option. Once set up the TV automatically adjusts when 24fps is detected. Thus far I have never had a disc that refused to play, not needed s firm ware update in 8 months. 5 stars.

This is a great Blu-Ray for the money and more than comparable to more expensive models.Digital camera Review: Blu-Ray All the Way!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very pleased with this product!
The controller needs backlighting, and the menues are not easy to use. For example, I had to search and search for the tiny little open tray button, which is placed in the upper left corner of the remote.
It takes about 15 to 20 seconds to warm up, but then reading the drive and access is quick.
I may need to update the firmware which is easy to download from the Panasonic wed site.
