body texture NR70 vs NX70

[muldermx]

Hi,

I know the NR70 model but never saw a NX70 - Someone told me they have a different body texture. is it true and whats better feeling - and better LOOKING

The NR70 in my mind is AMAZING>>> Heidi Klum Amazing... ;)

  Yeah, the nx series has a "rougher" more rugged feel to it, also the cf slot gives you a better more comfortable grip if you don't mind the extra space(and with the new drivers out, who does???).

 

   You say you have a nr70 in your mind?? I think there's a new procedure for that... hahaha, cheers

no , i am thinking of a NX but i said i saw only the NR and liked how it looked (like heidi)

when u say "rougher", does it look better or worse that way?

[Rick 098]

Better. I think the NR is plastic covered in paint. NX is painted meatal. VERY NICE!!

Yes, the NX is a bit rougher in texture and I think is more comfortable to hold. As for visual differences, the NX is a bit darker in color but that is something you have to see in a side-by-side comparison to really notice.

I like the smooth feel on the NR over my NX.

both are magnesium, the NX is more textured so it seems to not slide in your hand but that could be my imagination. You can't really notice the hump because it falls into the part of your hand where it wouldn't be noticed. I've always felt that the NR was a fantastic design but the NX was an NR done just a little bit better.

You can't do wrong with either, but if that's the deciding factor for you, I worry about you....

After a few months of use, my NX is as smooth as my NR was. I'm happy too, because I hated the rough feel of the NX.

[muldermx]

and mark - do they look the same too?

[Michael Quach]

I liked the NR70 look and feel, but it was too slick, and I kept dropping it.

That part aside, why in the world would you buy a NR70 over an NX70??? They don't even make NR70's anymore.

[muldermx]

i didnt say i want to buy the nr70...i just want to compare your experiance with it - because i only tried out the NR70...

[markgm]

They look identical when you first get them. I have heard people say the NX doesn't scratch as easily because of the rough paint. I'm not sure if that has been the case with mine, but I don't really put it in a position to be scratched.

Yes, i like the body of nx. it has the rough feel. When I hold it on hand, then i feel it's not easy to drop out.

The NR seems to be made out of plastic, it feels very cheap.
The NX is a real charm in hands- it appears to be a bit tougher.

My NR seemed to scratch up easily where my NX does not. However, the finish on my NR was easier to keep clean while the NX casing gets smudged quite easily.

Both models are magnesium. The NX feels better in hand because of the more textured surface.
