I just got one of these from my grandparents and they still have the invoice from purchasing it in 1994 for $996!

[@brandoncameracollection]

Wow $1000 for this thing is insane. Thanks for sharing the price though

[@youngplantweddings2534]

@@brandoncameracollection Thank you for taking the time to create and post this video!! Helped me to learn my way around it. Truly an incredible and quirky little thing!

[@System6VideoProductions]

Just got one of these at my local thrift store, it’s practically mint, has a case and everything that goes to it, I look forward to making content with it.

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah they are funky but that’s what’s makes them fun

[@JesusChristTheOne]

My baby videos were taken on this and now I have it! Gonna redo them with the same camcorder on my 24th bday.

[@uhuh2278]

Gives beautiful footage, hope you kept it

[@brandoncameracollection]

No unfortunately 😕 I sell all these cameras so I can afford to buy more to make videos on. I always have my eBay store linked in the description of my videos so if you ever want a camera I review you can always check to see if I still have it for sale.

[@uhuh2278]

@@brandoncameracollection has this model already been sold, and so you remember how much you got this one for?

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah I’ve already sold it. I bout it for $45 but it was $62 after shipping

[@cineffect]

A camcorder that wanted to be a DSLR, fantastic! By the way, where can one acquire a cactus bunny?

[@ThBreadMan]

Been looking forward for this video :3

[@sixofsix]

Nice camera

[@ThBreadMan]

Its sad we no longer make intresting cameras like this anymore

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah not much interesting innovating goes by on anymore. I feel like cameras will be mostly powered by AI in the not so distant future

[@ThBreadMan]

@@brandoncameracollection I hope not because it would put me out of the job 🤣😅

[@ThBreadMan]

@@brandoncameracollection I'd love to see another shoulder mounted camcorder

[@PsyduckIsTheBest_]

This camera looks pretty similar to the JVC GR-SV1U.

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah the sv1 was probably the first model

[@kuyakuma]

Crazy thos looks exactly like the minolta c513😂

[@brandoncameracollection]

WOW your you are exactly right they are the exact same camera just different printed logos

[@ThBreadMan]

If someone gave you the opportunity to make a shoulder mounted camcorder what design elements would you like to put on it and would you design it like a preexisting model and if so what model?

[@brandoncameracollection]

To be honest I haven’t used much shoulder mounted cameras. Mostly a few VHS cameras. I know this doesn’t really answer your question, but I really enjoy my Panasonic pv-420. I also plan to get a Panasonic at-456 at some point

[@kuyakuma]

Oh man also ive been collecting sharp viewcams for awhile! Think i have the last english version of the viewcam vl-fd1 in existence. Having trouble finding power for it😂

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah I feel like the view cams are hard to find batteries and chargers for

[@kuyakuma]

​@brandoncameracollection yea I was eyeing them for awhile then your video came out, crazy😂 they also made the c503 which is the same camera but without any screen so I'm thinking jvc probably licensed the whole camera. Glad you went over the message mechanic I was wondering what the heck that was about! Loving the content man👌🏼

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah I think jvc and Panasonic licensed their cameras out alot back in the day. A lot of the Panasonic vhs cameras and their dvd cams as well. The message system is so weird haha but it being a portable tv is super cool though
