Chas, I just love my Panasonic BD35 BR player. Excellent picture and awesome sound-what more would anyone want eh? My vote is to go for it. BTW, care to shed some more light on your panel building as I need to do the same. How much did the materials set you back if you don't mind me asking? Also, what kind of camera are you using? Your pics are fantastic! Very good quality.
Cheers,
Phil
