I had the opportunity to play with the new 722 last night that is
owned by another member of this list.

It is a wow.
If you think that a small hard drive recorder must be a fragile
machine you will be changed the first time you hold it.  I did not
measure the case exact but the main impact panels have to be at least
1/4" plate aluminum.  It really looks like it could survive being
thrown up against a wall and looks very rain resistant.

Although you have over 60 menu options to customize with, to record
with the unit from out of the box to a stereo track is under 10
seconds knowing nothing about the machine at all.

There really is not a another recorder that will do what this one will
and the capability is amazing.

The only function I saw not functional that I would ever want was 
addressed in the manual as a future software upgrade revision. That is
to be able to direct firewire copy and/or mirror to an external
firewire hard drive. Currently, it can mirror to flash chip but for
transfer outside the machine to an external drive it does take another
computer with a firewire port.
