This is a great camera. Is the second time I buy one because the first camera broke down and I have more than 20 super8mm tapes with videos with my kids. I have not tried to record but the second camera I bought from you seems to be working properly. I hope it last long enough to copy all my super 8 cassette tapes into DVD to preserve the memories. This week I will record a new tape with the camera and will see. I love this camera because it produces high quality analog tapes with great zoom power and recording features.
The Sharp@ Viewcam camcorder is very easy to use with its High8 format by which can be viewed upon a VCR adapter also purchased separately. Head cleaning with either tape or swab conditions playback and recording. Video High8 or VHS-C tapes of high grade quality will preserve your most precious moments which depend upon this procedure. Having two adequate battery packs or three handy when portable, and a sturdy tripod to use when necessary eliminates camera shake gives videos that professional touch. I would rate the Sharp Viewcam@ (1) on a scale of 1 to 5 by experience alone.
This camera works in low light and does powerful 16X zoom. I bought two of these units for filming of live bands. Add an inexpensive EasyCap RCA to USB Video Capture unit for direct input into your laptop on location and WELLA! Simple film/video editing software will capture your live performance to the hard drive in real-time. Enjoy 8 effects produced "on the fly" by just hitting a couple of buttons. With the large 3.5" screen, there's easy viewing of your filming in action while above your head; don't forget the tilting lense is perfect for getting shots above your head in a crowd or "over the top". I sell these power supplies for $30, to find my contact info, just email me from the website of same screenname.
Fairly compact, easy to handle. LCD screen nice in the front. Only reason I bought this one was to copy previous years of Hi8mm tapes to DVD and it was at a very great price. I would recommend it for anyone who prefers video tape. The picture and sound is great when viewed on a TV.
I've already got this camera and really like it ...mine has started acting up so I bought another one....It's old technology but I'm comfortable with it....the new ones are too complex and this is reasonably priced.
