I got fed up with the poor quality of video projecton offered at many venues so I bought one to carry with me. Here are some thoughts: 1 It's a technology that's improving quite quickly so if you buy now then you should expect to see machines better than the one you bought. This also means that there are good end-of-run offers available. 2 When you have a shortlist then insist on a shoot-out under the conditions that are most important to you. You can't judge brightness or sharpness from the brochures or by comparison of different projectors under different conditions. 3 Some OHP pads work OK, but it depends a lot on the OHP you'lll be using it with. Therefore this is not a good technology if you are looking for something that will work the way you want wherever. 4 If you need to use it in lots of different venues then a good zoom lens is crucial. 5 A good carry case is vital, and can be more important than the weight: I bought a hard case on wheels.
