I had already a Blu-ray player Sony, but it must be noted large improvements made since. I am simply amazed by the quality of the image. Besides, I entrust myself to watch Blu-ray and DVD already seen and reviewed ... The reader quickly start (I do not understand the previous review) and it was not noisier than any other video device. The big plus is that once the player is connected to the Internet (personally, my player is connected to my wired Freebox, but there is a USB wifi key Sony accessory), you can access services like M6 REPLAY (nice to see / review TURBO ...) and Sony Qriocity VOD (streaming) is more interesting than CANALPLAY or TF1 Vision in terms of price (4 new SD / HD 5). It also has to PICASA, FACEBOOK, ... but I have not tested. I also have connected my external hard drive LACIE without any difficulty. It is recognized and I read my Xvid, Xvid and HD pictures without any problems In short, a very good camera, at a very good price and delivered super quickly. AMAZON thank you!
