I ran the DR-70D this past weekend for the first time. Very easy deck to use. I also ran my R-44. Very happy with the way the 70D internal Pres sound.
Great to hear Brian
It is VERY easy to use, and just has what you need, instead of a bunch of useless menu options to sort through
And I ran my new 64gb SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card in my 2nd 70d for the 3rd time flawlessly, completely filling up the card! This time I did all [4 channels@24/96 MIC IN/Phantom on 1/2 and LINE IN on 3/4], but this time in BWAV[Broadcast WAV] files instead of the standard WAV files, just to see if it could handle it, and how my post processing liked the newer BWAV files! Well, it wrote the BWAV files flawlessly too, so I trust my new card/70d faithfully at this point
I dont want to jinx myself, but at this point, and with two different 70d's, it is a VERY solid deck IMO! I have recorded hundreds of hours of TV alone with the two decks to test their reliability and to cycle/test battery runtimes and whatnot, and with an SD card it likes, its never done me wrong **knock on wood**
Fluff mode off
Sorry, just cant help myself, I LOVE this deck! Its everything I have ever wanted[minus a couple of things] in a small, 4 channel deck!
