the x300 is the much noiser of the x series. i think that is due to the cheap plastic body, not so well built than x570 and x700. you can feel vibrations...

Hi, I am sure I measured the response of a 360PX using NiMH, NiCd and alkaline but I cannot get the search to work and I don't seem to have kept my own copy....
