- A recent Video Magazine previews a new Sony Hi8 camcorder (no US model
- number yet except "Handycam Pro" or something generic like that) with 3 CCDs
- and a 12x zoom. The thing looks small and is presumably available in Japan
- and in Europe already. Does anyone know the weight? From the photograph
- it looks like it has AFM stereo (no PCM stereo). TBC is not mentioned.
-
- The same issue also lists the Criterion Monty Python's Holy Grail
- with a Japanese soundtrack on the analog channels (?? Actually, not a bad
- idea, marketwise. Imagine the fun watching it in Japanese.)
