    I had myself one of these cameras back in the day. Looking at videos I shot back around 2003 and 2004, it’s like a time capsule. The videos from iPhones today are so much more better in quality , but this oldschool look brings back so many memories of when I was a teenager and shot skateboard videos and short movies.

      Early days of smartphones like the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS they had worse quality than those analog Super vhs camcorders so it wasn’t bad if people was still using camcorders in 2009/2010.

      In 2007-2008 everyone was still using analog camcorders with digital 8 and miniDV ones.

    i did not think of retro cams much untill i found your channel/ i have a sony HC32 with a broken screen, was looking it up on youtube at one point and ran into your review of it...now i have a minor obsession with the old video cameras. thanks alot man and keep on growing, love your style and reviews!

    • @brandoncameracollection
      @brandoncameracollection  Рік тому +1

      Yes the hc32 I used also has a broken screen. The touch screen doesn’t work and I think that is a pretty common problem with that model and similar ones.

    This camera is very sentimental to me. It wasn't just my first handheld video camera, but it was a video camera my mother got for me around late 2003. About a week or two before my birthday. I remember all of this well. I was 16 turning 17.
    Anyway, some asshole stole it around 2005. I wasn't able to really put much thought into replacing it until i was 34 or so. I grabbed mine off Ebay on a gamble as it was "untested" for 25 bucks but the darn thing worked!
    I have the same braned battery replacement you have.

    The Camcorder uses 11V AC Adapter because the Camcorder itself is a Battery Charger thats why there's a Refresh Button.

    The only color viewfinder on this series is at the top of the range with the 900 series I believe.
    I have a 960 and this camera and they are very similar. 960 gets a remote, the RGB viewfinder, a slightly larger screen and some other small things about the buttons/ menus.
    They’re both great little cameras though and the 260 has most of the functionality

    Hello, I have an issue with this camcorder, i think it's the record/play button but not sure. The camera does not react when i turn the button. Battery ok, tape ok, eject and take tapes perfectly. But nothing happen when i turn ON the camera. When I put off the battery and put it back, it goes to on and then off few seconds later. Did you heard about this before ?

    • @brandoncameracollection
      @brandoncameracollection  8 місяців тому

      How old is the battery? If it’s an old battery it most likely won’t have enough power to keep the camera on. I would try a new battery and see if that helps

    16:48 my Canon ES3000 Hi8 hi-fi stereo camcorder has a few art effects including that one except it's referred to as "art" and it also has negative art, except I'd say Canon's negative art is a bit more colorful
    This JVC has more digital effects, so glad to see this video....also, thanks for the mention!!

      @CycloneCordVHS 5 місяців тому

      @@Joscraft_05 I've been told the "mono" channel is split in two, creating a "pseudo-stereo" effect.
      What makes the microphones sound like they're real far away from each other (if I remember correctly) is when the matrix circuit is disabled.
      That piece of info was available on a vintage brochure that discusses the Sony CCD-V101 (mind you, I don't have the V101 itself)

    I am trying to use this exact camcorder to capture my old tapes (also recorded on this camcorder 20ish years ago) and I can not figure out how to disable the on screen display while watching a tape? There is a setting in the system menu for "OSD Display", but when I set it to "off" it is still showing up during playback. I want to capture my tapes without the on screen display being in the video.

      @@brandoncameracollection A little crispier no. A LOT crispier than VHS tbh, I think you know that you was using a normal VHS-C tape in the Super VHSET mode which allow you to record with a bit of more resolution in normal VHS-C tapes and be a little more crispier.
      But using a real Super VHS-C tape in this camera you get more quality and more crispier videos than using the ET function in regular VHS-C tapes.

      It's a physical tab, located on the side opposite of where the actual tape, that can be removed or moved in order to prevent recording over previously recorded material.
