True, but I think I'd be nervous filling up an 80 gig drive with no
backup. Imagine if that drive failed in the field, and you lost
everything. The nice with the v2, is that you can buy a little
external 40 gig firewire drive for $100, and backup every day or so.
I never pull the recordings off my 722, i.e., delete them, until
they're mastered and backed up twice in my normal library. It's nice
to have that backup on there of the original recordings.
I might invest in a small portable DVD burner too. Would be nice on a
long trip to be able to quickly burn a DVD and mail it to yourself.
Except I think the 722 can only burn DVD-Ram discs, not DVD-R, CD-R,
etc. Which is kinda a drag.
