Very Good SD Camcorder that uses DV Tapes
I bought this when the exact same camera that I had broke while I was trying to archive old tapes. I have moved on to digital media, but I needed it one last time. While it was expensive for a single last purpose, I had no alternative that wasn’t more expensive. I’m quite satisfied.
