How would you charge it? It's my first time buying a camera however I've seen the fz54 is bad battery life. Whereas the fz55 has a USB Charging? Is this correct

I have a similar JVC camcorder but the screen is black and shows “lens error”. Do you know how to fix it?

Do you have links to where I can find the batteries? And do I need an adapter if I have the batteries?

Hello! did you tried taking pictures os small things? I want a camera to photograph bugs

Thanks a lot. This video allow me to use mi older portables tv's. I never know that small resources are available. Thanks again 😅

I'm seriously considering buying this camera because my current camera (a Panasonic Lumix that I've had for 7 years) only has 720p and the video quality is terrible (see for yourself, if you want to). Does the video ever become blurry if you move the camera too quickly while recording? I use my camera to record sporting events and I'm often moving the camera back and forth while recording. Also, what specific battery type does it use? I would need to order extra batteries and would prefer to do so at the same time I order the camera, if I end up getting it. Thanks for your help.

Well, wasn't excepting to actually see this camera on this channel. I'm a bit surprised, actually; it's better than a lot of people make it out to be, and I'm glad you gave it the benefit of the doubt instead of ripping it a new one right away like a lot of people on YT have. Still, though, it's clearly making trying to advertise itself as more than it actually is. That lens is clearly made for some other purpose than a point and shoot digicam (maybe a security camera, or a dash-cam), and the sensor it's using is clearly far lower than it says it is. That 1080p footage looks like 480p upscaled to 1080p resolution. It certainly wouldn't bad for as a first camera for a kid, but at the same time, it really should advertise itself a little more honestly (maybe call it a "retro 480p cam" or something) or be equipped with a 1080 res image sensor for actual Full HD capabilities. Side Note: I'm impressed the 5x digital zoom looks worse than the [insert arbitrary number here]x zoom of 2000s era VHS camcorders. 💀

This is the crazy world we live in when full HD camera costs $19. In 2009, I paid $1259.24 for my first full HD camera. And of course when I was a child no HD camera existed at any price. What a wonderful world. Let me know what you think of the PopSnap.

Might be good to keep in the glovebox, just for emergency use.

Correction at the beginning of the video, Betacam is not a failed format and it is not a home recording format.

What else can be said but, yeah, this is a stellar modern age camera. Not as good as the camera on my Nokia 6300 4G tho (jk jk). AFAIK, iPhones are a lot more reliable as phones than anything Android based, minus the high-end Samsungs, of course. You should be able to get quite a number of years use out of it for pretty much anything and everything you can think of; just be careful not to drop it on anything hard. XD

how much $USD did this go for when it was first announced?

Hey man, had you checked my comment about redesign your logo? I have an idea to create an original and rewind inspired camera gear logo for your channel to help your branding looks more dedicated and memorable and you can use it as fun artwork or merch print as well, let me know if you interested! :-)

Hiya, would you know how to transfer the footage to phone?

does it film 720p?

SIM card remover usually comes packed with the SIM card.

Are those iPhones still running on the original batteries?

APS-C or full-frame ?

I’ve seen Minolta Bridge cameras too, I wonder what they’re like.

Does the device have a speaker?

Witam ta kamera posiada wejście Remote inaczej tp lanc i można podpiąć przewód do kamery i do rekordera i przyciskiem kamery uruchamiamy nagrywanie rekorderem nie wiem czy w tym rekorderze jest takie wejście bo ja posiadam Nija blade i jest takie wejście pozdrawiam

Thank you for sharing the night mode! Something most people I find don't show when reviewing or talking about a camera. Night vision with IR is extremely important for my videos. Lol

Try Sony Xperia 1 VI, it can do tele macro! By the way, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, can I design a new logo for your channel that is more original and fun looking and you can use it as merch print to sell to your fans as well? Let me know if you interested, Wayback Rewind has a lot potential of logo design, I would love to work on that and it can help me to afford a WFX1 before someone else buy it at my local store too! :-)

Planning to buy this one for my wife who is taking some birds photos on a phone currently. Then she is struggling because of bad digital zoom. I understand this camera is not the best quality, but I hope she will got a lot of fun with that one!

Seventeen years later I joined the iPhone club. Oh, I'm keeping my Samsung, but add an XS Max to the mix. Oh and it's a better camera than my best camera. Let me know what you think of the XS Max in the comments.

You said it. Greed. Add ignorance. I've had those issues with a good brand name 64G SD cards and 256G USB bought in person from reputable shops I use regularly and never had any other issues with them. Sad part is I paid decent prices for them! Should have taken them back but they were gifted to grandchildren and they have no idea what they've done with them!

Great Betamax videorecorder 👌👌👌

How’s the autofocus for photography?

It certainly isn't that bad compared to the iPhone, and I could only assume it curb stomps the vivitar scam-eras they sell at Walmart. I actually intended to buy this very same camera for a co-worker's son that was looking for a digital camera. I ended up giving them an old 2010 Sony Cybershot I had lying around instead due to 'financial changes', which was great for photos but pretty weak with video. I'm kind of regretting not giving them this now that I'm actually seeing it in action.

How much different is this model compared to the Zr500? 📹

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interesting the Kodak is only 1080P yet I think it looks more crispy than the Iphone 6S plus. Thanks for reviewing this. I will need to try this with my Sony DSC-TX300V from 2012

I know it's a throw back to an earlier era. But not everyone wants to shoot with a phone. And for a young person or a beginner this might be just what you are looking for. I compared this with a 10 year old iPhone that cost about the same as this camera brand new. Wouldn't be fair to compare it to a $1,000+ modern iPhone. Let me know what you think of this camera in the comments. Thanks for watching.

Your video is sooooooooooo repetitive!

I can't really see it getting any higher than this until large 8k monitors/TVs (affordable ones) become a thing. Can't really say I'm super impressed with the footage since it seems the previous 3 iPhones were pretty close to these in terms of visual quality. It is nice to think one can use three different generations of iPhone, and splice their footage together without there being any noticeable difference. Could be pretty good for a budget multi-cam set up for indie productions. Also, yeah, the edge to edge display is completely pointless. That's how I was when I got my Galaxy Note 20. Such a nice display only for it to get canceled out by the otter case I had to put it in. lol

Bonita maquina Betamax👍

It's amazing that today you still can not buy a camera that shoots 4k60 for under $1000 USD, but the phone from 7 years ago in your junk drawer can. Let me know in the comments which camera you use on a regular basis.

Nice work. I still have my X iphone. Still working ok

They show the VO-2600 model of these in season 2 of HBO's "The Deuce" that takes place in 1977/78 and mentioned that it was "Only three years old, and $1600 new. and already this thing's a f--kin' stegosaurus" as the characters pulls out the future! A VHS tape.

i bought 4tb lenovo usb flash drive and it is fake . usb doesnt work like yours usb

Wayback, very well done video, youre a gifted teacher!

Ive jist spend an unhealthy amount of time reading the comments and marvelling at how many prople want to hook up old TVs to things like firesticks! Dont get me wrong, i love it, Its like steam punk but for the 1980s

I have a Camcorder, four batteries and dock. everything works,

I bought the same hardware as you, I downloaded the same software, connected camera like you. I can't get the video from camera to show on the pc screen . please help.

Wow, you just saved me a ton of $$! Now I don't have to buy a new TV but can use my old ones (with a few add-ons) AND I can get rid of cable!!. Thanks for this great video!

Ah yes...the iPhone 7. The one everyone got mad over due to not having a headphone jack. Perhaps a better thing to be infamous for, unlike the Galaxy Note 7, which has a more explosive reputation. xD Im impressed the iPhone 7 Plus actually has optical zoom of any kind. That's impressive, even by today's standards where most phones still rely on good old digizoom. It puts the regular iPhone 7 to shame in that department; though, even point-and-shoots from 15 years prior to it often came with 3x optical zoom minimum, so it still isn't perfect. Compared to the one sample shot of the 15 Pro Max, I don't see much of a difference between the two (though, I am watching this downscaled to 1080p, on a MacBook that only goes up to 766p, so maybe that has something to do with it). It is, though, showing signs of that processing that is common with modern phones; the colors feel washed out and somewhat "artificial." Same goes for the regular iPhone 7, but not as bad it seems. Side Note: there was certainly some gain flicker with the 7 plus in some shots.

I want to convert my old VHS tapes from a VHS player. The plugs I must connect are the Audio / Video cable instead of the S-video cable? What is the maximum capacity of the SD card this device supports? If I choose the USB connection, can I connect an external HD drive (1 Tb)? Thanks a lot! Greetings from Argentina!
