Digital camera reviews of Sony BDP-S1 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Digital camera Review: Everyone should have one
Summary: 5 Stars
First I got the Sony Bravia Tv then I got the Sony Blue Ray (second generation) disc player. It's so good that I may stop watching regular TV and watch Blue Ray disks only. My goodness, the picture is ..... wonderful! I want to watch it all the time its so good.Digital camera Review: Everything you could hope for
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy set-up, brilliant high-definition picture with deep rich color and clarity, uncompressed audio, DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD options, makes for a great deck providing a richly satisfying experience.Digital camera Review: Excellent product, beautiful image and upscaling to 1080p.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't usually care about aethetics, picture quality is what I want. This player scores exceptionally high in both categories for me. It is a beauty, and more importantly, the picture at 1080p is astounding. You can flip through the resolutions (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) and through each progressive increase in resolution there is a VERY noticeable difference in picture quality as you're watching.
Upscaling was very impressive at 1080p (1080i and 720p looked good as well). I tested some 10 year old SDVD's and some brand new SDVD's and I can't understand how anyone would tell you the picture is not amazingly better upscaled than at a native 480i or 480p depending on your DVD player.
Pros:
- Produces astounding picture quality
- Beautiful device
Cons:
- I find command response time slow, hopefully this can be fixed via firmware upgrade, minor issue.
- Pricy and impending format uncertainty
Anyone that pretends to think they know more than anyone else about the end result of the HD-DVD, Blu Ray format "war" is full of it in my opinion and simply wants to push their format of choice. You're taking a risk, either way. I made my choice and I'm sticking with it.
I highly recommend this product. Look for it on sale.

Digital camera Review: Fantastic Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited forever for this player because I have a true 1080P screening room with a 10 foot diagonal screen. The picture and sound off of this unit - and I guess all Blu-Ray - is utterly perfect. Certainly as good as any good movie theater. Great stuff!Digital camera Review: First generation, and it shows.
Summary: 2 Stars
We've got one of these in our office. It's slow - takes a very long time to start up, and is pretty unresponsive. Seems very finicky about disks with slight scratches. The "eject" button takes a long enough time to eject that you sit there wondering if you really ejected it and you hit it again, and it goes out about an inch and then goes back to tell you "no you hit it before I just decided to register both presses at the same time". Gets 2 stars instead of 1 because it actually plays disks and is basically functional, but I'd be upset if I got one for free (which I guess I kinda did). Looking forward to a 3rd or 4th generation version that's cheap, reliable, and more tolerant of scratches.
