You mean the survey with only 25 respondents and only 11 reports of problems? 

Roughly half of the respondents report problems...that seems significant - even with a small-ish sample.

I continue to be struck by half of the version 1.10 and half of the version 1.11 users reporting issues on the survey with most of them using what I would interpret from the survey to be 0-1 year old, Sandisk cards-not four or five year old off brand cards. 

If I were going to ask a follow up question to the survey, I would ask where those users bought their 70ds and when where they bought?   

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2014/09/operation-full-disclosure-targets-more-60-national-advertisers  The legal commentary I heard on this earlier this year strongly suggested to me that advertising that makes a claim isn't going to fly when the fine print negates the claim and isn't likely to be noticed by consumers.  Search FTC "Operation Full Disclosure"   if you want to find out more.

Wow, cool, one 128 SDXC card and two 64 GB cards, one of which is japanese.

Well, I guess my job here is "done"  :o

as long as we don't run into trouble with cards on the list.

PS watch out for the cards on the list with the *1!

Quote
*1 The performace of the media may be degraded significantly if used repeatedly.
 Once the card is full (data transferred if necessary), ERASE-FORMAT using the DR-70D is
 recommended prior to using the card again.

It's interesting that, with one exception, all of the cards are ultra high speed.  It's also interesting that sometimes a larger/smaller version of the same card will produce different results.

None of cards on updated list are available at B&H. On the original list the 32g Panasonic is discontinued and the other listed 32g cards are NG unless you want to shell out 75 for the top 32g. Epic fail in my book.

i have a question re: high capacity cards.

do you guys routinely tape in situations that require you to have more than 16 or 32 gb of space available?  honestly, i don't think i would ever encounter a situation in the live music recording world where a 128gb card would be absolutely necessary.

i guess what i am saying is, why not just purchase the cheaper 16 or 32 gb card and then format it in the unit the next time you are going to use it?  that seems like the safe option to me.

I purchased a 32gig card from the approved list and had no problems running 4 channels at 24/48 for TTB Saturday night.

I agree that it is annoying that the DR70d is so picky about media,

But,

Once you put an approved card in it:

1) it works really well
2) runs forever off of a 5v USB battery
3) sounds fantastic.
Recording:
Capsules: Schoeps mk41v (x2), mk22 (x2), mk3 (x2), mk21 & mk8
Cables: 2x nbob KCY, 1 pair nbob actives, GAKables 10' & 20' 6-channel snakes, Darktrain 2 & 4 channel KCY and mini xlr extensions:
Preamps:    Schoeps VMS 02iub, Naiant IPA, Sound Devices Mixpre6 I
Recorders: Sound Devices Mixpre6 I, Sony PCM m10

Home Playback: Mac Mini> Mytek Brooklyn+> McIntosh MC162> Eminent Tech LFT-16; Musical Fidelity xCan v2> Hifiman HE-4XX / Beyerdynamic DT880

Office Playback: iMac> Grace m903> AKG k701 / Hifiman HE-400

All summer long.  I attended seven music festivals this year.  A little crazy this year, but I had the time this summer.  I record multiple stages so I often will start my recorder recording first thing in the morning and stop when the music stops at night.  Sometimes the only thing I need to do during the day is change my external battery.  In other words I let the recording roll continuously for over 12 hours.  So my preference is for 128gb cards so I don't have to change the card out until I get home.  Keeps me from having to keep track of cards during the weekend.

SDXC media was one of the first features I focused in on when I bought this unit.

I was looking at the new updated list. Not the one that's been out for awhile.

Google the model numbers.  Two of the new additions come right up at B&H:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824139-REG/SanDisk_SDSDXPA_016G_A75_Extreme_Pro_16_GB.html
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824140-REG/SanDisk_SDSDXPA_032G_A75_Extreme_Pro_32_GB.html

And then one more of the new ones is available at NewEgg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171592

The new 128GB is also in stock at Amazon, and I'd feel comfortable buying it only because it is stocked by and shipped directly from them:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-128GB-Memory-SDSDXPA-128G-G46/dp/B00NP63Y4K

You brought up that Panasonic card a few weeks ago, and someone corrected you on that but I guess I'll do it again.  It shows up as Discontinued ONLY at B&H, but has continued to be in stock here (again, as has been said before):

http://shop.panasonic.com/cameras-and-camcorders/camera-and-camcorder-accessories/camera-accessories/sd-microsd-cards/RP-SDUC32GAK.html
http://www.adorama.com/pcsduc132ak.html

Sure, not all of the new cards added to the list are in stock with US retailers, but these are pretty new cards to market so that's to be expected.

How hard was that?

Just ordered one as well. Thanks for the heads up!
