I am over the moon, I visited a church Fete and bought a VHS-c Camcorder, I have a digital one and a Lumix which takes very good HD video but maybe it is due to the VHS wide tape the quality is astounding. Anyone else use these cameras. I cannot believe someone would give this away Image Stabilizer,Motion detect, 0 Lux, Remote control, 200+ zoom, Macro down to 5 cm and all in a case for $10aud. Sometimes you do land right side up. When I handed over the cash the person seemed as if they were ripping me off.
Love those type of charities Win Win.

I have a 8mm but have gone to a digital camcorder with internal hard drive. I also shot HD with my Cannon T1i. The Cannon is pretty handy when I can switch from pictures to HD video in seconds.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Andy

NV-VZ1 Panasonic. I have tried it now and other than the 4/3 aspect the quality appears better than a digital video I have. Could be the wide tape and it is analog. Could not be happier. I am starting to dust off my Vinyl records also as the sound is better than on CD, Am I glad I did not dice them. New is not always better.

It is like XP - Vista, Win7, Win8. I have 3 copies of XP I like it. With it I am the boss.
