BD35 ?? BD55 ??

I have pre-ordered my BD50 but it hasn't even been released yet in the UK?

What is Panasonic playing at??

I have now cancelled by BD50 order and will look at other manufacturers.

I can understand you feeling a little disgruntled by Panasonic's quick turnaround of players, but I think you'd be ill advised to shun them completely on that basis - the BD50 and BD35 are both fantastic players in terms of features and performance, putting Panasonic streets ahead of other manufacturers.

i think you did a typo on. where you supposed to put dmp-bd35 instead you put dmp-bd50?

"Verdict


The DMP-BD50 shows Blu-ray at its very best, not only in terms of picture quality – which is absolutely sensational, by the way – but also in terms of sound, features and all-round usability. DVD playback is a touch disappointing but in all other respects, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better Blu-ray player for this sort of money. "

I think you're right, Chevy. This little slip has now been fixed.

Incidentally, you can read our BD50 review here for comparison:

Now FINALLY available to preorder on Amazon.co.uk. Search for "Panasonic BD35"

comment Mogmartin said on 24th October 2008

If you don't want BD-Live is it worth paying the extra for a BD35 over a BD30?

Now under £250 - check out the Latest Price at the top of the page.

I think Panasonic have missed a trick here.

The BD50 had was not even available when the BD55 was announced.

I contacted Panasonic twice over the last 2 months asking when the BD55 would be available. No reply.

So it's goodbye Panasonic. I'm going to get the Sony S550 - cheaper, comparable spec and available NOW !!!!

I just bought one of these players today after reading many positive reviews. The first thing I watched(On a 52" Samsung Series 5 LCD) was BBC Planet Earth, the "Pole to Pole" episode. First impressions are that the video quality is jaw-dropping and incredibly compelling even for people who are completely apathetic about clarity and definition. My receiver(Harman Kardon AVR 147) is not HDMI 1.3, and so my audio is not HD but 48khz PCM through optical. Never mind, it still sounds incredible with my Polk Audio speaker set.

Also I just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, and again, it was shockingly good. I've not tested its upscaling performance, but I also don't care too much about that. Now that I have this kind of Blu Ray picture available, everything else looks vanilla and I'm not really dying to have the absolute best vanilla available when I know I can have rainbow sorbet.

Does anyone know whether this player is compatible to other AV system. My old Panasonic Av system (SA-HE7)can't interpret the sound from the machine and only shown stereo rather than 5.1channel when playing Blue ray Disc ( on optical lead). it is very frustrating eventhough they are all make by Panasonic.
