  • Get them while you can

    The colors are great and accurate. Digital tape makes for the best archiving, and clear as you can see on any 1080 or 4K TV. Tape is cheap and will outlast Flash memory. Over time, the cards will eventually degrade and some of the inside parts will fail. Contacts will corrode or brake, and there comes a time in the future you will get the dreaded "file error". If stored properly, digital tape will be playable for 50 years. I still have analog VHS tapes form 40 years ago that still look good. So yeah, get these digital High Def. miniDV camcorders while you can. I have 2. Also HC3 and up have a nice HDMI to easily hook up to your TV. Remember, you can always drag tape across a playback head, but if your card gets a spark from static electricity, you're SOL.

  • EXACTLY what I wanted!

    So I had a kind of complicated issue at hand. I wanted to make a movie out of all our old home video tapes for my mom for Mother’s Day. We had tried years ago to send them to a business that converted tapes digitally, but they had no luck. I bought a different camcorder first but once I received it I didn’t realize our old family tapes were shot in HD so the camera gave me a “wrong format” screen. Back to square one. So, I did a little research and found the exact camcorder we had at the time, which was this bad boy! So I ordered this one right away. It was sent out right away and I even received it a day early. Everything works perfectly and I can now show my mom videos from over 10 years ago that none of us have seen since then. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend.
