Not this one, it
uses metal tape in the same casette as a Hi-8 would use,
but about a tenner more expensive. and is "digital Hi-8" format.
Reasonably sharp too at 720p. Go look it up, its a Sony HandyCam DCR-
TRV460 NTSC. and about 11 years old IIRC. And one of the first with
lithium batteries. I can't quickly find the charger, but after laying for
at least 2 years, it still fires right up.
I have shot several weddings with it, processed it down to fit on a dvd
using kino and sold the disks several times now. Many many times sharper
than a vhs deck.
