DR-70D : Perfect form factor for its use as sound recorder for DSLR

7 years ago

Its shape is perfect to install it under or on top of the DSLR camera.

The quality of the sound is ok, you can't expect professional sound but it is way more decent than the built-in microphone from the DSLR and better sound than TASCAM DR40, but, still cannot compare with other sound recorders of higher-end.

In general, good for its price. A bit hungry with the batteries and the menus are a bit difficult to follow, as a majority of functions can be activated/deactivated only via "software" and not with independent switch/knob.

I would recommend for persons willing to improve sound quality in their recordings but who does not want to spend more than 250-300 euros.
