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).

I have dropped it a few times, but everything still seems to function, and using it for interviewing (which as a journalist one does) it is absolutely brilliant, although I had to purchase a compact Sony mic to avoid cables.
But really brilliant. Not looking a ...

This Panasonic SJ-MR200 Minidisc player-recorder is extremely small, even by today's standards, and considering its a few years old that's not bad! I picked mine up cheap (refurbished) and loved it, and I still do. It looks amazing, and you hardly even notice it when its in your pocket. The battery lasts as long as the Ice Age (although mine is now a bit sporadic after being mis-treated over three months travelling around the States) and its all very easy to use. It is simply a great machine. Ho ...
