was in a local thursday market today and could of had the camera at £25 but I bargained it down to £20. In its original case with PSU and 2 batterys. Was working when I switched it on but I didn't buy it because I could not be bothered going to the hole in the wall to withdraw the cash.
Would you have made the effort to buy this?
No.
Semi Pro sit on the shoulder job wasn't it? If you're into film making, yes.
Do you own a museum? If not, no. You can get digital still cameras that will record better for about £50 or a full HD camera for about £400.
Wondered were this went. Sorry was meant for another NG. ;-)
Second hand video cameras are a nightmare if the electrolytic capacitors dry out or are "bad caps"
Yeah, I would - but I collect electronic junk anyway :-)
I take a Motorola International 2700 transportable phone along to car boot sales. Folks think I'm a member of the military...
I think that's pushing it. I can do 640x480 30 fps on my still camera, but a camcorder it ain't.
Er have these then.
That is better than an old VHS camcorder is going to do.
Better resolution, but that's not the whole story. Try panning with a still camera.
Same solution as a digicam.. tripod or monopod and don't forget to turn the image stabilizer off.
???
Not much good for shooting the frozen maize scene in "The Shining" though. The OP was presumably interested in film rather than home video or he wouldn't have considered such a huge camera.
