I do need blue tooth, and thanks to enlightenment from the list, I don't have to worry that I might be killing unborn baby whales by using it. I don't necessarily need Blue Ray, but I think I want it. Although based on reviews, I think I would go with a Panasonic machine. One reason I want one is to be able to play HD slide shows on an HD TV. Not to mention HD movies from the 7D. Blu Ray is the standard, and it's apparently here to stay. Soon it will be the only HD DVD format available. Think of it this way: If those lying scoundrels from Toyota were the only ones building automobiles, I would probably grit my teeth and buy one from them:-). Paul
