"Projector wears out before 2 years, DO NOT BUY!!!" on by mail1083
Pros: Cool sliding door to protect lens.
Cons: Polarizer wears out before 2 years, causing yellow/green tint to everything, and they won't repair it.
Summary: I owned this projector, which was not bad. I had to replace the bulb twice which costs an additional $700. After less than 2 years, the blue polarizer burnt out and the entire middle of the screen took on an ugly yellow/greenish cast. Made it intolerable watching hockey or anything with white in the image. I sent it in for warranty repair at my own expense ($80) and they sent it back not repaired, saying on the paperwork that it was not economical to repair. There are much better projectors on the market and I will never buy from Sanyo again.

"Very happy with my first front projector." on by dansyacht
Pros: Great projector for the price. Great warranty (3 yrs). Easy setup. Sharp Image. Bright enough for most screens < 100". Quite fan. Frame Interpolation.
Cons: Color accuracy could be better.
Summary: I basically agree with Mr Miller's review, except I would not put as much weight on the Z3000's color accuracy. Could it be better? Yes. Is it noticeable? Sometimes. Is it a distraction from enjoying your favorite BD or DVD? Not to me.
The 2:1 zoom and huge amount of lens shift make the projector very easy to set up.
Frame Interpolation (Smooth Motion) works well on this projector once you discover that the 5:5 pulldown setting overrides this function. You must turn off the 5:5 setting for SM to work. It does a great job of converting 24fps film material on SD or HD to 48fps by adding an "interpolated" frame between each source frame. You may or may not like or approve of the result, but that is another debate.
I've had my Z3000 about six weeks now without any problems. Well, sometimes I do have a problem getting the smile of my face! ;)
