AVERAGE QUALITY = 13.00 = A- (excludes Distance/Position)
PROS: Great video & audio improvement over D668/D668.ra; excellent camera work
CONS: Camera unable to handle extreme zooms, so image is grainy; tape counter left on for entire program; had to use video soundtrack for final break because upgrade sources were all drastically cut; no harp
