Looks pretty cool actually. I don't love the idea of doing everything on a screen but they should sell a lot of these if the price is right.

Agree. On the flip side it looks like you get access to a near complete set of controls on the phone app, which is fantastic for >:D
I would imagine they would use at least DR100MKIII or greater quality preamp circuitry - if that's true, that's a great thing, as that is a very highly reviewed preamp.

It looks like the mics are removable - been waiting for this on the Sonys since the D1.

Love that they got rid of the internal Li-on approach from the DR100MKIII as well. 4 AA and that's it.
