it is a tank, been using sony dgp tapes, 90m also, just sent it off for its 500hours cleaning, and it came back with a clean bill of health, if you buy one used, be careful that it's in good shape.

backlit display, good for us stealthers in the dark

Thoughts...works great.  Really no negatives about it except that the a/d could be a little better.

Great little deck. Small, easy to power, with durcell ultra's I have gotten 4 hours of recording out of 4 aa's. It's a real work horse if taken care of. Been using mine since 99, yet to have a problem. I use a da-p1 mostly now, but the d8 comes in real handy when I need a smaller deck or need to worry about power at a long fest.
