I had this camcorder for 5 years then mine died but needing a cheap replacement that could play my old and new Digital 8 cassettes I bought this again. Everything has worked great for 5 years except for the occasional problem with the humidity sensor. It is very sensitive to temperature changes, e.g. B. when changing from inside to outside and vice versa. There are probably better and more modern camcorders out there and if I hadn't bought a used one for a good price I might have thought of something else but bottom line I was about to go on holiday when my old one died and you need to go in be able to use the same tapes. I'm not exactly sure why my first died. В течение нескольких месяцев я слышал, как небольшая часть отрывается внутри, и я думаю, что дошло до того, что она приземлилась в месте, из-за которого выпуск ленты не работал, поэтому мне пришлось разобрать ее, чтобы спасти мою ленту, убив ее in progress. , haha.
