Here is where i have a question about all this stuff. Everyone keeps siting
performance skipping etc... bla bla bla, but panasonic has made i believe 2
unit's now specifically for hard use, the panasonic sjsw9(discontinued) and
the sjsw90 which is still available but at a pretty penny. anyway I enjoy
the outdoors either biking, running etc..... and i have been trying to find
anyone with personal knowledge of these products. Are they really better
than the other units? will they not skip when others will? any other info
would be greatly appreciated too.
Later
Matt
