Not this one, it uses metal tape in the same casette as a Hi-8 would use, but about a tenner more expensive. and is "digital Hi-8" format. Reasonably sharp too at 720p. Go look it up, its a Sony HandyCam DCR- TRV460 NTSC. and about 11 years old IIRC. And one of the first with lithium batteries. I can't quickly find the charger, but after laying for at least 2 years, it still fires right up. I have shot several weddings with it, processed it down to fit on a dvd using kino and sold the disks several times now. Many many times sharper than a vhs deck. > USB2 really doesn't perform that less well than most Firewire, > especially with the low quality chipsets this protocol often seems to > go through (whether the actual Firewire chipset, or the PCI(e) chipset > that an adaptor hangs off.
