New Md

[sulk]

Hey, I know people have asked about buying mds, but I just have a question. I've had a MZ-N707 for a few years now(with hack), and ive been satisfied with it for a long time. I used an RM-MC12ELK, and it stopped putting output in the left channel, unless i hit a lot, and then it just stopped putting sound in that channel. So I went to buy a new one, and I lost the auction, so to buy a new one itd cost about 80-90$USD, and I only had 163$CDN to spend on something, so i decided to buy a new MD, but my chances of getting a decent Hi-MD were pretty low on that price. So I bought a 600D, and I was really happy considering I couldnt put songs onto my N707(software problems i think), so a new MD would be great. After reading reviews and stuffs, i found out that 600D, isnt as good as i thought it was going to be. Now I realize that the 600D doesnt have remote capabilites, and I'm feeling that I kinda asted my money on it, though I did get it for a good price(111$CDN), so I'm thinking of possibly getting a new MD in the future. I know with the introduction of 2nd gen(thoses are the ones coming out soon ?) So I guess my question is since the 600D doesnt have remote functions, and that's one of the reasons that I liked MD's was because of remotes, should I wait till 2nd gen come out to buy one of those, or get like a nz1 is it, once the 2nd come out they should go down in price. Gwah, pretty much, i got off track, i think >_>; Umm i think my question is when the 2nd gens come out, or whatever the new models coming out are, should i get one of those, a good quality/best of those, or the nz1 of the current himds. Im hoping that theyd come with a remote, so thatd i wouldnt have to buy one of those, or just buy the Nz1. Ya ^^;;, i kinda got off target there, and said tons of stuffs, but anyways, ya, which should I get, good/best of 2nd gen or nz1 when it comes out, price isnt a factor as Id be able to get either, but i guess if price isnt an object, then the 2nd gen would be good >.<; gwah im kinda answering myself, but ya pretty much, 2nd gen or himd best model now. thanks if you read it all and can give a good response, and does anyone know if all of the 2nd gen will have camera, or if there will be certain ones without them, thatd be cheaper, as i think its not something that id be interested a lot, since itd be in pocket a lot. >_>; ill answer any questions people have f any, but ya, could someone help me decide?

First of all, it might help if you use paragraphs next time. They'll help you mentally divide what you want to say into manageable portions. That way, you end up posting something that isn't quite so confusing. ^_~

For info on the second-gen Hi-MD players (models, specs, features, etc), go here. Basically, the second gen will be widely available come April and will more or less mirror the range of the first gen players.

As for whether to get one or not, you have to ask yourself if you want native MP3 support or not (I'm assuming there won't be a firmware upgrade for the 1st gen players, but I may be wrong). If you answer yes, then get one of the 2nd gen; otherwise, the 1st gen players will do nicely. If you decide to go for 1st gen, I suggest waiting until the 2nd gen players are released (c'mon, it's just like a couple of weeks or so); prices for them might go down a bit.

Hope that helps.
