Sorry I can't rate this any higher but there isn't enough info here for me. Maybe if you read some other video recorder reviews on Ciao, you'll get an idea of what to include. Also, as this is about the HD version are theire any benefits/ drawbacks over SD you've noticed? Can you see a noticeable difference in the picture quality, etc. And if you do add more, let me know and I'll take another look for you. by kevin121

Advantages: Huge screen, plenty of features/accessories, DivX playback, video recording, battery life,
Disadvantages: Huge screen - too big for most, unlabelled buttons, low screen resolution

The white/silver accent finish on the AV700 is both refreshing and pleasing to look at, but is unfortunately very susceptible to scratches. If it is not included already, you should purchase the leather case that is designed to house the unit. Personally, ... Read review

My wife bought me my first digital camera, a Fujifilm FinePix S3000, that I got for a Christmas present over four years ago. In its day it was a pretty good camera, not perfect but then what is or, at least, what ever is at a reasonable price? It went wit ... Read review

good bit of kit for the price. if you have any issues just google as there are tons of online forums for the users of most PVR's. by atytyut2434

Disadvantages: Touchscreen isn't perfect. A heavy load. No flash support.

The 80GB 704 Wi-Fi can hold your tunes, videos and photos - but that's just the start. Add the optional DVR station - you'd be mad not to - and the 704 becomes TV-friendly, turning into a portable PVR. And grab a Wi-Fi signal and you can use the Opera sof ... Read review
