- Well it depends on the VTR/Camcorder. Most SVHS camcorders record
- and display in the 425-540 range. Normal VHS is 320 if I am correct

- Well there are around. Usually they run at about $5-7 a tape but
- they do have better resolution. You do need SVHS tape to record SVHS.

- Well if you want you can... in fact the Pansonic Consumer VCR's
- out there can play back SVHS tapes in SVHS resolution and go for around
- $300 or so. But you could always use the camera.
