Good Points

The Panasonic is small, compact and is reasonably nice to look at.


Bad Points

The curse of the touch pad, and the small problem of cotton being able to scratch it.


General Comments

I picked up my Panasonic SJ-MR200 Recorder from a carboot sale in extremely good condition. It had the charger and all the excessories to go with it (including a case) and an extra blank disk, all for just five pounds. I thought it was great considering the cheapest mp3 player was about forty pounds at the time. It was working brilliantly for the first year and a half, despite developing numerous scratches on the body. But as you might expect, touch pads don't last forever and so now mine has a couple of options that don't work. But I continue to use mine on a regular basis, and, even though there are a few minor problems, I would recommend the Panasonic SJ-MR200 to just about anyone who's looking to buy a cheap mp3/minidisk recordable music player.
But as they scratch quite easily and the touch pad CAN go wrong, I would buy one that's new, then at least you would have a guarantee. But if you do buy them second hand, ask for a full demonstration of all the buttons and options (mainly the touch pad).
