With all due respect Graham, this is not a good question: 1)Very few folk have a true users experience of two dissimilar products, you usually buy one or the other and then justify your decision as the right one. If you are lucky you might find somebody who changed their mind, or had it changed by a force move of companies, but even then this would take several months minimum to get a true experience. 2)Justifying cost is only relative. Some professionals will happily write off (amortise)a whole edit system on a single job, some amateurs will struggle to justify buying iMovie2. 3)Ease of learning will depend so much on previous experience. I (an engineer) went straight to EditDV from nearly 30 years of linear tape editing, a friend (a producer) went to it from many years of Premiere. I learnt it quicker than him because I didn't have to unlearn anything, but I'm still learning tricks after more than a year, especially avoiding the bugs! 4)There are dozens of alternatives from free (iMovie) to costa-fortune broadcast systems, depending only on what you want to do and how much money you have to invest. To get a good response, ask questions where a reasonable number of folk can be expected to know the answer!

Of course, the guys who sell this gear (or actually has one) can tell you more, but the "P" shouldn't have anything to do with it.< This is correct for Professional/Broadcast products, consumer products use a geographical designation so PAL is normally /E for Europe. AFAIK the DSR-250P has an identical capability to the DSR-PD150P, it is just the packaging and the ergonomics that have been changed.
