Nice recorder, too!

I liked that recorder so much that I just bought a second one for DSLR shooting.
MUCH better than the comparable Zoom models.

I have one of those sitting under my Canon 70D. Just love it.

I've been looking at this for a while. How's the battery life when using phantom power?

I have not tried it with mics that need p/power.

The battery life is really bad but inexpensive USB battery packs work well with it

atom12, I finally had a chance today to run some tests.
I hooked up a pair of Sanken COS-11Ds to my Tascam DR-70D recorder, plugged in fresh batteries and ran it until it popped up the low battery warning.
Using a just charged set of Powerex MHRAA4 Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries (1.2V, 2400mAh), I got 2 hr. 45 min. of record time.
These were brand new batteries so there's a chance that they might run a bit longer after I exercise them a few times but you get the idea.
