I carried a 12v last night for the first time in a while.... forgot how heavy those suckers are!

The more I find out about this unit the less excited I am about it. Hopefully Sony and Tascam come through!

I was expecting the pricing to be lower as well.  ~20% higher than original estimate on the standard model.

a retailer gave me a quote last week of $1850, it wasn't firm or anything and he made it very clear that he wouldn't know until this week for sure. I can't believe he was that far off...

Seriously.  Its $500+ more than I expected.  Shit, the freaking 'raw' one is considerably more than I expected.  

Think SS will sell me a cassette adaptor with mine?

:lol:

William, I think you and I had the same info. I hope Sony or Tascam can come up with a sub $1000 HD Recorder only. I don't need anything else, just some meters, a digi in, 3 digi-outs and 6v power.

Maybe the a/d will be so good that I can sell the v3 and pick up a v2 to make up for the additonal cost...

Honestly the one exciting thing about the unit was the potential of being able to have an all in one stealth box to me.  I know, everyone "loves" their rig chain and no way would I give up my V3, Minime, etc...but for me, I definitely wanted something small to stealth with, and quite honestly, I am a big fan of a small rig....unfortunately this thing looks like it is the size of a brick, at a pretty high price point.  

That being said, I would love to see Sony or the like create a HD recorder with (as Tim said), levels, spdif in, digi out, and my one other key, internal power option....even if 4 aa's will only power it for 3 hours, it would be nice to have the option.

Not knocking this box....just interested in other options...will have to see what it sounds like though.

Nick - dead on! internal power would be nice to have for sure...

William - I'm wondering what this thing will do to the used gear market if the a/d sounds good. Could see lots of MiniMe's and even V3's out there. Look what happened to the value of a V2!

you know what is sad, the JB3 is a much better option right now...now if those guys would just make a SPDIF input and meters worth a damn...and a non proprietary battery, I would be all over it :)

good point....yeah, add that to the JB3 then I am all over it  ;D

seriously though, I am beginning to think that mini laptops (like the side of this thing) are going to come in at the same price point as this thing....

Laptops just don't seem feasible to stealth with or run lowpro fob...

but you can use them for much more than taping.
