Can Panasonic stay at the front of the pack?

Performance ; Expensive features ; User-friendliness

No DiVX playback or slot

Panasonic DMR-EZ27EB review

Punchy performance from no-nonsense, upscaling deck

1080p upscaling ; Multiformat compatibility ; User-friendly

Uninspired design ; No memory card support ; No DiVX playback

A fistful of features alongside a performance that packs a real punch, especially if you own a hi-def display that will accept upscaled images

Panasonic DMR-EZ27 review

The EZ27 may lack a hard-drive, but with 1080p upscaling, a Freeview tuner and excellent picture quality, it's bargain recording at its best.

Panasonic DMR-EZ27EB

Just because the DVD/HDD recorder combi recorder has captured the nation's imagination, it doesn't mean that the humble DVD recorder has been consigned to the AV dustbin.

Very expensive

This deck's recordings in the top quality modes are superb and playback is also excellent. It's a shame it's a bit pricey

DVD recording; upscales TV broadcasts; easy to use; densely defined images

Some picture noise and stuttered movement

Panasonic DMR-EZ27 DVD recorder

As we transition from analog to digital television broadcasts, Panasonic releases a new DVD recorder with built-in digital tuner that will allow it to continue working past 2009 when analog broadcasts go off the air.

I won't lie. I miss the lack of a hard drive on this video recorder. But apparently including both a hard drive and a digital tuner in a digital video recorder would inflate the price astronomically due to content protection issues. Panasonic isn't the...

Panasonic DMR-EZ27

Good quality picture and sound. Very difficult to make a mistake when setting the record function as the various menu screens are informative. Very easy to plug in and use.

Quite slow when first switched on to become fully functioning. Various menus can be confusing at first.
