I love all Sony Betamovie, video 8, hi8 digital 8 minidv cameras from the 1980s to 2008, as long as they are fully functional and the video digitization is done with the right equipment and in a professional manner✨

horizontal resolution is equal between pal and ntsc. there's a bit more of definition in pal, but that's not what make a huge difference, so don't worry. but the playback device used may improve if there's a sharpness adjustment for exemple, or even be done in software...

@@MGoudsmits yes there are about 90 capacitors inside the boards of this camera that are leaking and need replacing that is where these problems come from, when the capacitors are changed there is a 50/50 success and failure because the leakage has destroyed the circuits inside unfortunatly 😏

@@salvatorev_ so it is not a slipping drive belt?

@@MGoudsmits No these cameras don't come with conventional belts, that are made of rubber and cut, they have high quality silicone belts very durable they never cut or dry out

@@CycloneCordVHS thank you my friend ✨

Basically all you need to do is to change all the old capacitors in this camcorder and replace it with new one, i guarantee it will work again. All this camcorder from 90s is suffered from Leaky Caps, you need to change it

read the description!

You can buy replacement batteries from Kastar

Remote control

unfortunately I don't undertake other people's repairs because it's a big responsibility to make it work properly, I only deal with my own cameras as an amateur, sometimes I have wall-mounted bad things, sometimes unfortunately no

it was the most difficult repair but it was a success ✨

@@salvatorev_ Yesterday, I got a Sony V9, and I didn’t even have to repair it because there weren’t any surface-mounted capacitors in it.

@@TheVHSGuyOfficial I thought so too about this camera but unfortunately if you search there is a V9 repair video and there are some smd capacitors on the camera sensor but I don't know if they are bad capacitors like the others

@@salvatorev_ That camcorder is the V90E. I have the American version, so I think they are different.

the first time I came into contact with the camera I did several hours it was very tiring there are quite a lot of cables during assembly you have to know where each goes so I numbered them in the order they go in, with time you get used to it so now it will take me at least 10 minutes to do it Assembling, what I notice after fully repairing the camera when I tested the image quality is that it is not worth it as much as a VX1/VX3 3CCD camera which is ten times better than V5000-V6000

I have ordered the VX-1 and I expect it to arrive in a few days, the owner said it is functional I will see when I test it, if it was made in 1994 there is a chance it is fully functional

​@@salvatorev_ I have a VX1 as well except the tape mechanism doesn't work on mine

I have the vx1 too. It needs to repair too. It plays tape but no image from camera.

@@alanwong3980 bad capacitors 🥺

The board may have been corroded by the leaks of bad capacitors from the past unfortunately the cameras even after cleaning the boards and changing the capacitors will not work fully again and the reason is that the leakage has progressed to the board, another reason is bad connections on the boards, it may be necessary to change the capacitors in the dc converter another reason is that the cassette deck has blocked something inside the mechanism is broken or even needs grease on the gears

@@salvatorev_ It was actually the main board that was causing the problem. Luckily my VHS friend has a spare main board that he is going to give me

In fact, there is no such thing as a digital cassette, digital 8 is just hi8 cassettes.!

Upload it of course I just connected the V6000 to my computer and shot it digitally because the deck is broken the head when I buy a V6000 for parts I will replace it 🙏🏻

@@salvatorev_ it's published. I wish you the best of luck with that as well💯

hi may be the camera video deck mechanism is jammed, also there may be bad capacitors on the board that are leaking and need to be replaced, what is your camera model?

Its gonna be bad capacitors... Most of these things are ruined by bad caps these days..

@@TheVHSGuyOfficial this thing with bad capacitors started from 1988 until the end of 1993 in Sony cameras the cameras worked from 6 to 15 years at the most all the capacitors had already died either from leakage or drying out, my Sony CCD -FX 300 ( video8 ) purchased Dec 1992 fully functional until 2001 stopped recording from 2002 until about 2008-09 the camera only worked as player and about 2009 the camera started playing black and white tapes the cassette door would no longer open as it never worked again

@@salvatorev_ I wish Sony never used those cheap Japanese capacitors 😢

@@TheVHSGuyOfficial 🙂‍↕️

Hi yes , check caps on dc convert

@@salvatorev_ I figured that’s what it was

@@TheVHSGuyOfficial check the capacitors and when you change them see if they have blown and some fuse usually with the leakage of the capacitor also blows some fuse, when you change them and everything is ready check the CCD sensor board if there are capacitors with leakage and they need to be changed

Hello, did you solve your problem? Can I buy it somewhere or maybe it is possible to "create" this battery?

a digital 8 camera can record normally and on 8mm cassettes!!

Yea I love all models from Sony !

the damage was caused by the capacitor leakage that was on the sensor board and it burned a transistor which i was unable to replace, these are the major irreparable problems caused to the circuit when there is a large capacitor leakage

@@salvatorev_ oh my, I can only imagine. My thing is, I wouldn't know what those transistors looked like, neither would I know where to get a replacement transistor if possible other than a parts unit.....only thing I know is the capacitors which I still haven't gotten around to doing my own work on

@@CycloneCordVHS unfortunately it's not only the capacitors that break in the cameras, you know the rest of the components break from the leakage of the capacitors that spills onto the board, a short circuit can even happen and the camera catches fire, 6 years ago I bought a Sony CCD camera FX500e and when I plugged it in the camera turned on and started making smoke until it turned off and wouldn't turn on again this is because the camera had a large capacitor leak on the board and it short circuited and caught fire

@@salvatorev_ sad story in my opinion, luckily there's many more out there....I'm familiar with the story of the next "repair" of another FX500....aside from that, lemme know when u get ur next VX1

@@CycloneCordVHS I really want to buy the next VX-1 at some point I just need to find a proper ad and the camera is functional and good externally no scratches and I hope it was made in 1995 as in 1995 all cameras had good capacitors the first VX1 I bought was a 1995 and it was fully functional the second I bought was a 1993 it was not working properly then I replaced all the capacitors the camera worked right two years and at some point I had an accident and then the camera burned out since then it hasn't worked again

Yes, I connected the video output of the V200 to the input of the V6000 amplified signal and took the video from the output of the V6000 directly to the video capture device and so the video plays better without flickering

@@salvatorev_ great technique, I should try something similar in the future

@@CycloneCordVHS of course when you have signal loss problems you will need to do it

i had one from a similar model V-6000 and used it as a spare

it didn't work properly see the previous video
