a person who is going though this same LBA angst, and started the other thread on this linked here; the one thing that I still think the 70 has going for it; quick shift. It is pretty much the only thing that makes me lean that way (outside of, you know, price). QS is a life saver.
Originally posted by officiousbystander Has anyone ever bought the DA70 and then after using it thought damn, I should have gone for the 77?
From my reading here, it seems not. Though, to be honest; I have a feeling that if I never started reading about the 77, the 70 would have been perfect, and I never would have looked back. From my understanding, both of the are excellent; but the 77 is amazing, while the 70 is "merely" very good.
As owning neither (yet), I can't say anything definitively, but it seems the consciousness here is pretty much always going to fall onto the 77.
