- Primarily due to my wife's reluctance to use a 3.5lb video camera,
- we've purchased a 1.9lb camera, and we must sell the "heavy one".
- It was purchased new in February 1990 (for $1600!), and we've had
- no problems whatsoever with it - except that my wife thinks it's
- too heavy. We've put around 25 tapes through it (almost all Hi-8),
- and the results are beautiful.
-
- Some technical details:
-
- - 420,000 pixel CCD, 2/3"
- - 8x variable speed power zoom
- - dual capsule microphone
- - variable shutter speed (1/60 to 1/10,000 sec)
- - variable iris setting
- - crystal-clear slow motion and freeze frame
- - TTL autofocus (* see below)
- - 2 page digital scrolling superimposer
- - flying erase head for noise free picture transitions
- - edit search, index mark and search/scan functions
- - control-L capable
- - S-video input and output
- - fader
-
- There are numerous other standard features, such as date/time generator,
- data screen function, macro focus, high-gain switch for low light
- shooting, manual override on white balance, focus and exposure. The
- battery is new, and we usually get around 50 minutes per charge.
-
- * The autofocus works just fine if there is sufficient contrast. However,
- if the light level or contrast is low, it seems to hunt. In my experience
- this occurs with all through-the-lens focus systems I've seen - although
- some of the more recent offerings fare a little better. I don't
- understand why infra-red focus isn't more popular.
-
- The camera is in perfect condition. It comes with all manuals, cables,
- charger and original packaging.
-
- I'm asking $720, or a reasonable offer. If you have a comment, or want to
- make an offer, please reply.
