buddy calls me asking about any affordable mini dv players (not cams) for just playback/dumping over his mini dv (via fwire).
I said i'll look for the best price out of the lot and shoot him a link, i was never asked this Q before.
w...wait a sec...only a handful of DV "players" out there for this purpose?
All costing more than $1000?
Not many "basic" products like these? ridiculous.
If someone wants to save the wear and tear on their cams...the only option is to buy a fwire capable mini dv CAM (used, bruised - but at least capable of playback/fwire output).
Can anybody suggest some cheap mini dv cams (now "player") with fwire out there right now for such purposes? He's leary of any ebay "used" mini dv cams (and i would normally agree when it comes to cams...but his usage might make this more viable option).
Maybe there are some old models to look for at best buy, etc. that are cheap for this kind of usage.
One would think a rewinder/player would have been kicked out.
Hmm, weird.
