Hi Karl the 70d has lower noise preamps and 4 channels. So this enables you to capture a surround mix in double m-s fur example, or two spot mics plus a stereo mix etc. It also allows you to record the same program on two sperate pairs at different levels in case one overloads. The firm factor is also superior.

I bought theTascam DR100 MKII two years ago for $299 (two channels only). Excellent sound quality.
I record 2- hour live stage events and my camcorder and I are 65 feet away.
I have no way to tweak the inputs during a performance so I just position the recorder at the front of the stage and ask the sound engineer to give me a peak signal for the specific performance during the sound test. If the recorder redlines at any point of the recording I am done. The sound signal ranges from whispering to 20-50 opera singers in full form.
I also take a feed from a sound board to my Panasonic AG-AC160A - the theatres are notorious according to my experience for giving you a proper volume at sound test, then dropping it soon as the actual event starts. The sound board feed typically does not have a separate channel for two people whispering versus crowds.
I also position a Rode VideoMic on the camcorder for my 2nd backup (seems silly at such a distance but it is better than nothing).
Can't see how I could use the DR-70D but it sure looks fascinating.
Any suggestions what I might be able to do with the DR-70D?
Do you think it could stretch the sound coming from the sound boards so that the lows would be higher and the highs would be lower to save me from constantly having to adjust the sound level at the camera? Several people have said I need a compressor.

TechAddicTI see a lot of Facebook likes for this drop, so hopefully the drop will continue to grow and be successful. I would really love to see more camera/video related Pro Audio gear available on Massdrop in the near future.

Recording gear junkies and microphone lovers!
Don't forget that besides vocals, your instrumentalists need the same love and care when picking a microphone. We are glad to announce an upcoming drop for the Audix SCX25A Condenser Microphone, specifically designed for piano and fine acoustic instruments. This mic is a real gem and built with recording professionals and everyday enthusiasts in mind.
Audix set a goal to create a studio condenser microphone that could record exceptional sound in a wide range of settings, from home studios to elaborate recording and broadcasting facilities. The studio condenser microphones in this line meet that goal by capturing vocal, instrument, and ambient sounds with exceptional clarity and accuracy. While designed for the studio, these Audix condenser mics are also commonly featured on live stages.
Like the lens of a camera, the different capsule sizes provide alternate snapshots of the voice or instrument, allowing the engineer a plethora of creative choices with which to record.
The SCX Series consists of two superb microphones for the studio and live applications. Both models are designed, machined, assembled and tested in our manufacturing facility in Oregon.
Keep checking back, the Audix SCX25A will be coming soon.

Sorry you feel that way, however the post was meant to draw attention to a new product. This Tascam is not a audiophile product, it is a Pro Audio piece, as is this microphone. We would hope that all our community members would be interested in new products, expanding their gear and trying new areas of pro audio projects.
We would love to see more interest in photo and video products as well. And my experience would suggest that there is a great deal of crossover between photo/video enthusiasts and sound/audio enthusiasts.
Hope that helps to clarify my reasoning.

SeanReidI was mistaken. I thought you were commenting on the wrong drop and so I thought I'd clarify that. I see now you're just bring attention to a different product. I've been excited about all the problems audio and video drops recently, especially the dslr accessories. The interest is definitely there. Cheers!
