I'm never able to resist reading a review "retrospectively" of something I've just got, and the EH60D is reviewed in Home Cinema Choice's current issue, rather favourably. But one thing jarred, and it's something I often notice in magazine reviews of all sorts of gadgetry. The sort of thing you only notice if you already own the equipment, which is unfortunate for people reading a review in preparation for deciding what to buy.
The table of specs in the test says: "DV (i.link) input - No - no input for camcorder dubbers". In the ratings box, one of the "lows" is "no digital video connectivity".
The thing is, it DOES have an i.link input on the front under the flap, and ironically, their photo even shows it. Looking at my own EH60D, it is clearly labelled "DV in" and the instruction manual covers its use, giving an example of connecting a digital camcorder.
It's actually not a feature I need (no camcorder) but I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone had just read that review and though "Oh, I thought it had that - I need it - better cross it off the shortlist then".
Strange how these things creep into magazine reviews...
