Hmmm, looks like they took a leaf out of the Olympus LS-series' notebook (overall design, two cards and an omni to improve bass). Olympus sort of dropped the ball with quality, pro-level handhelds after the LS-10/11, so this could be good news. Let's hope it's not another glorified dictaphone.
+: - I think the XLR adapter idea is great.
- There are some hints about multitrack recording capability.
-: - Don't like the internal battery idea. If it's not user-reolaceable, it's a deal-breaker for me.
- That grille on top: What's the point of protecting the omi mic and then leave the cards exposed?
We need a proper field review of this. What are the capsules and pres like, what's the actual size of the unit. Etc.
