The specs on this page are starting
to sound real. For example, the
dimensions of the package are
listed as: 8.08" x 4.41" x 1.65"
For comparison, the HHB Portadisc
measures 10" x 7.1" x 2.2"

It remains to be seen if the smaller
size (and hopefully lighter weight)
of the Sound Devices recorder will
cause any difficulty in field use.
Missing from the specs page is M/S
decoding for field monitoring.=20
This feature is found in several
of Sound Devices' preamp products,
and I think I remember it appearing
on an earlier version of the spec sheet
for the 722. Let's hope this feature
was not left out.
I'm sure that there also will be
concern about the decision to use a
3.5mm headphone jack, rather than the
more durable 1/4".
