Any input would be appreciated

I have #1 and had one very similar to #3, though bear in mind these units can come from more than one mfg but look the same. #1 is a nice unit, takes a standard SD card and plays NES games (not sNES) picture quality from the camera is not great(maybe a 6?) , video a little better. Controls have good feel for games and movie playback is very smooth and good quality.
The slide is a nice feature. Video out works for video but not games :-(. At least on my unit. Didn't try A/V in but I'll let you know. You can change the main screen background to whatever you like, even take a still and use it immediately. :-). Don't pay more than $75

#3
No NES but does have games in it. Camera picture quality pretty good, (for CMOS) video very good. Better quality screen I think. Smooth rounded shape slips easily into your pocket. Nice-looking unit. Calendar function and some other little tweaks that escape me. Don't pay more than $80

Hope this helps. I can pretty much guarantee you'll like whichever one you get...for a while. Then you'll start looking to upgrade. That's just the way it works. ;-)

I have the last PMP on your list. It is basically all that's been listed in the specifications. However, seems to be a bug with the volume control during playing of NES roms, could not seem to adjust it at all. And the sound level was too high that some parts of the games had distorted sounds.
