If you squint, it looks cinematic.

What an absolute video nugget, everything you shoot out of it looks like a distant memory and even today the miniature size of it feels novel. Honestly the pocket dvr aspect of it seems like a decent party trick for its time, though I am a little afraid to see what SD storage cost back then.

Video In? No way... That kind of video quality we had. So little in resolution and dynamic range. But leaves a lot for the imagination to relive the moment.

[@hunsberg]

Yeah, back from a time when "any video" was better than "no video"

[@MowMent]

Can you take photo while taking a video? This is a gem, I was looking for SV-AV100 but this caught my attention. Such a gem 😂❤

[@hunsberg]

Unfortunately not. SV100 video footage is much better resolution, but I gotta say this one has a certain charm to it.

[@MowMent]

@@hunsberg yes I agree!

[@MowMent]

​@@hunsbergHi. I was wondering what is the SD card limit for this camcorder? 2GB? 4GB? Thank you in advance!

[@hunsberg]

This one can only take 2GB max, however the video is such a low resolution that it turns out to be over 3 and a half hours of recording... Which is much longer than the battery life which is less than an hour.

[@MowMent]

@@hunsberg you are the best KZbinr ever!!! Tho I am sorry I have been so inquisitive haha

[@khaliun3585]

how to charge

[@hunsberg]

This camera needs to be connected to the dock to charge. The dock itself just takes a barrel plug.

[@michusiris]

This one does really suck, but if you need to add some made up extra-nostalgic scenes it would definetly do

[@hunsberg]

Yep, definitely. It really is amazing how far technology has come since this.
