Although this proto-HandyCam retailed fior $1100 in ‘97 it’s a good buy today at around $120 w/ all the accessories (batt, cords, lens cover, charger).
The image quality and recording format (MiniDV cassette) are outdated - it’s not HD at 640K pixels.
Still, the camera is simple to use and takes great video and even better stills at 1/4000 shutter speed.
*Anything going onto a computer though, you’ll want to save onto the Flash Card. This camera WILL NOT play nice with PCs nor MACs directly.*
My intended use is strictly playback of tapes recorded on an original 1997 model to be dubbed onto DVD through a dedicated burner - no computer needed.
