FAO Hawk - D70
Posted by: long-time-dead on 24 April 2005
Having made the decision to make a substantial upgrade to my system with the purchase of the aforementioned optical recording device, my trials have been concluded and my findings are undernoted.
System clarity is fine (although I have been led to believe that there is clearer accepting the alternative K-System) and the end result is certainly more than acceptable. Imaging is first rate - I have tested for the "back-plane" focus issue and I am pleased to report that my example is totally acceptable.
Focus is tight, detail is astonishingly good and tonal balance is neutral.
Upgrade potential is truly available - I opted for a HD option (2.2Gb MD) and took advantage of the recent firmware upgrade.
What next ? I want to purchase the new "60" option to allow finer detail to be resolved and also an SB800 to make everything a little brighter in the darker hours. I wil wait until I visit the US in a couple of months to take advantage of the favourable exchange rates.
This is one product that is not affected by difering mains voltages !!

Having been an analogue fan for such a long time im amazed at how much the digital formats have moved on recently. The clarity is superb and im getting blacker blacks than i ever thought possible!
