Pioneer CDJ100s CD Player
Ok, So I am finally thinking about Cd decks. Of course I want cd1000mk2's, but logically - I can not afford them. I dont think that its going to make a big difference with the pressure plate, but I could be wrong. I just want something goood and reliable. I am thinking about these - From what I can read on them, I cant seem to find anything bad. Opinions, advice, any? There are also some Denon's, but I am not to familiar with those.
Here are the ones that I want -
Pioneer CDJ100s CD Player --
$329.95[/B
[B]Description
Features:
Digital Jog Break
DIGITAL JOG BREAK provides analog DJ effects at a turn of the JOG DIAL so new and original sounds can be made. This player is suited for a wide variety of music genre with digital effects. It is both versatile and easy to operate.
Jet
Jet Sound wave is created by adding SHORT DELAY. This is similar to FLANGER which DJs make by using 2 analog turntables
Zip
The pitch of reproduced sounds can be changed without changing the tempo. Lowering of the pitch by the JOG DIAL produces the sounds resembling those made by slowing an analog turntable (Braking effect).
Wah
The audio level of a certain frequency can be made strong or weak by the turn of a dial.
HOLD Function
With the button on, the present JOG DIAL state can be maintained even while taking your hand off the JOG DIAL. With the button off, it returns gradually to the original state. You can use this button whenever you want
Slot In
The SLOT IN Method allows Smooth changes between discs. It takes about four seconds to load your song, fastest in the industry
Quick Start
When you hit the Play button the CDJ-100S starts the music instantly (less than 0.01 seconds) so you can match rhythms with pinpoint accuracy.
Compact Body
Measuring just 8-9/16" x 3-3/4" x 12-1/4" (217.7 x 94.5 x 310.7mm), the CDJ-100S is packed with all the features you'd expect of a professional CD player, all of which makes this machine ideal for mobile DJ'ing.
Jog Dial
This large, quick-response dial makes frame-by-frame search and point selection easy and accurate while providing a closer-toturntable feel.
Super Fast Track Search/Super Fast Search Function
Turning JOG DIAL with the press of the TRACK SEARCH/SEARCH button allows higher speed search. This function is convenient for CDs with many tracks.
Tempo Control
A two-step switch allows you to set the tempo range to either -16% +10% or +/-10%, while a long-stroke slide provides rapid control over playback speed.
Master Tempo
An industry first, this new Master Tempo control locks in the music's pitch even when the tempo changes. Now you can vary the beat with no change in vocal or instrument tone.
Playing Address
A light bar provides an at-a-glance graphic indication of elapsed playing.
Cue Functions
CUE POINT. You can set the cue point by a frame unit (1/75 second).

AUTO CUE Function:

CUE POINT SAMPLER Function:
The sound from the memorized cue point for as long as 1 minute can be reproduced by one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the sampler. In addition, real time cue point input makes it easy to set and change the cue point.
Fader Start & Back Cue Play
When the CDJ-100S is used with DJM-500, DJM-300, or DJM-300-S mixer, You can start the music with a fader or cross fader, or use them to return to the cue point.
Relay Play
Connecting two CDJ-100S allows one song to be put on standby while the other plays (Auto cue must be on). Relay Play automatically starts the second unit at the end of the song for uninterrupted play. This continues back and forth until both discs are done.
Vibration-Proof Contruction
Vibration-Proof Construction is achieved by utilizing technology found in Pioneer's car-audio CD players. In addition, the CDJ-100S is equipped with Protect Guard to help avoid turning the power off, or ejecting a disc, accidentally, during your performance.
Digital Output
For digital recording (Normal play mode only).
I have cdj100's and they are ownage for someone without the funds to get 1000's
They seemed alright. I just dont see spending 1000$ on Cd tables. Now if i were spinning out like I used to then yea. Who knows. Maybe if things pick up more Ill get the mk2
I got the Numark Axis 9s and couldn't be happier.
personally, I'd opt for Pioneer's Dual cd player, the CMX 3000. For basically the same price, you can get a dual cd player that has more precise pitch accuracy, looping abilities and hot cues. I used to own the cmx and was absolutely in love with it.
cmx 3000 or a cdj 800

i've had these over a year and my only gripe with them is the 0,1% pitch accuracy. i'm thinking of getting the cdj-200s this summer to replace these because they have 0,02% accuracy, but i don't know yet though. anyway i'd definitely go with the cdj-200 if i was buying cdjs right now.
The CDJ100's are more than OK if you're just starting. In fact, I would recommend you get this to get faster at mixing. The fact that these are not 100% accurate (because of the 0.01 factor) has helped me concentrate even more on mixing to see if the tune is a tiny but fast or slow.
Still, though...the cdj200 is only $400 (a small difference in price) which would make it a reasonable purchase.
Man the CDJ-200 looks nice...Me wants!
Good advice. I think that I am going to go with the 200's until I can afford the 1000mk2 (or they drop in price) 
After a couple weeks of playing on my friends' Tech SLDZ1200, and the numerous visits to GC to play with the CDJ-1000, Numark CDX, CDJ-800, DN-S5000, hands down the best is the CDJ-1000MK2.
It feels more controllable than the others. In vinyl mode, it more than simulates a vinyl. Also, since the platter on the CDJ-1000 is heavier than the CDJ-800, it seems easier to scratch on.
I, at first, wanted decks with spinning platters. I took some of the advice I got here and tried them all. Im a Pioneer man (odd, because my HDTV is a Pioneer and the screen in my car is a Pioneer AVIC-N1).
Speaking of which, I am going with a full Pio setup: 2 CDJ-100MK2s, DJM-707 and a set of HD1000s.
I have used these about six months now, and they are my first "quality" decks. First i got Omnitronic's and then Numarks (Axis 2 .. and later Axis 4).
These decks are very good, and simple. Im not a "tech fan" which eagers for newest decks and mixers - altough i respect this kind of behaviour aswell.
I really don't have anything bad saying about these fellows, only the cd loading time would be faster, but im cool with that.
They are simple and practical, and also perfect for novice dj's.

i have 2 200s, and trust me, after 6 months you'll want 800s or 1000s :P the only advantage of the 200 over the 800 is the 0.02 accuracy
