Okay here is the review that some of you have been waiting for. Its fun to see once in awhile your email is flooded by questions. The test is aimed at looking into those new features in the specification.

Features that may have been lacked in the earlier HVL-F36AM and also features that may be found in the higher powered HVL-F56AM.
