I just picked up the Panasonic ES10 on eBay for a steal of a price. I'm gonna use it to burn my VHS to DVD (the ones that I don't want to invest in buying again - and which the quality of the video/sound is less of a concern - like 80's comedies and some older dramas). It will be replacing my older non-progressive Panasonic RV80 (which is a workhorse with a gorgeous picture). Hopefully the ES10's progressive image will look better than the older RV80's does now, and that they didn't skimp on playback components to keep costs down.... we'll see.
At $125, it's at least worth the investment for the burning process - after which I could resell it if I wanted to, or send it to the bed room as a replacement.
Anyway, I'll let you all know.
