Default F-70 what do you all think

Well it looks like it wont be long before this unit is in someones hands for a review. How well do you guys think it will stack up compared to others of the same cost?

Default Also waiting for

A review on the F-70 it sounds like it will be aimed at potential mxt/exterra 70 users.
Ive heard the F75 referred to as a sportscar,very high performance machine.
I'm hoping the F-70 will be like the 4-door sedan/station wagon,but with the big block option(A.K.A. a sleeper)

Been wanting to purchase either the F5 or F70 after using and enjoying the F2 so i called a dealer who briefly used an F70 and posted his findings on a recently deleted forum.I've had stability problems using hardwired highgain detectors in my area and explained my situation to him and my reluctance to try an F75.All he said was the F70 ran smooth as glass compared to the F75. So now i'm wondering the F70 is a more user friendly version of the F75 with some of the hyper sensitivity slightly detuned.
Hank ,, You may be correct

I'm actually more interested in the F5 if it comes with a small coil. Love those knobs vs the pushbuttons HH Bill

Greetings, I too am really looking forward to checking out both the F5 and F70. The modern looking faux Carbon Fiber face plate suggests to me that Fisher may be targeting a younger demographic with the F5. When I emailed TC Tony questions about the F70 he wrote that he had not tested one yet so he would not care to speculate. He did say that the F70 will NOT be the F75's little brother. Not sure about all the ways in which it will differ...thanks and good luck, Stephen

Yea the F75 can be a chatter monster..It dont take much sensitivity to get the job done..Its like holding back a hot rod and its hard not to press the Gas..Hank I like the way you stated the cars performance.
The F75 and F70 uses the same freq it will be intresting to here the reviews..The F5 does look Cool..
