Panasonic PanaSync S70

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

...what they would have you believe on CSI, you cannot accurately regenerate missing pixels from a low-resolution picture). The fan-noise is very low even when the bulb is not switched to low-power mode, although I suspect this is partly because the body is so big with huge vents to allow air-flow over the hot bulb. The projector has many of the usual inputs: HDMI, S-Video, composite and component, but not SCART, unlike previous Panasonic models. Most projectors do not have a SCART input anyway, but it is a shame that this has now been dropped from the Panasonic range too. I am using a good-quality S-Video cable instead of the RGB SCART I used with my previous projector and there does not appear to be any reduction in quality. Usually an RGB or Component source, which both have three separate channels for the picture, would be preferable to... Read review

Advantages: High quality, fast, easy to use,long-lasting cartridges
Disadvantages: Very occasional paper jams

...to buy a black and white printer, keep it for a few years and then replace it with a colour one when our eldest daughter got to the stage of needing one for her schoolwork. I decided to leave my husband to it, and so off he went to PC World. An hour later. he came back with a Panasonic KX-P7100 under his arm. Well not exactly under his arm as the box was too big for that. But you know what I mean ! It cost £ 170, and he had also bought a USB cable for £ 13.99 as there wasn't one with the printer. I don't know if it is normal for a printer to come without one, or whether you always have to buy one.

Advantages: laser and duplex and compact
Disadvantages: only black and white and over time develops some problems.

...The KX-P7100 made by Panasonic is a brilliant printer because it prints 14 ppm (pages per minute) due to its laser technology and has a built in duplex system for well duplexed pages,saving money and time using only half the usual paper.But now after time the paper has began to jam,crease and fold with added lines from the toner.this may be due to the settings or it could just be general ‘wear and tear’. For example a new toner would cost in the region of £50 and this may not even fix the problem.and if left in a cold room the paper may jam up and waste paper so it neds to be kept in a warm but not humid room(due to damness).So I think that this product would suit a office or school but not a home in a cool country or small home....
