This is a broadcast quality SD camera that retailed for around $3500 when they came out around 2002-03. I have $1,000 invested ($850 for the camera used and $150 for the mic new.)

I will take $500 for the package. It can be picked up here in Jasonville, IN or I can ship it in the Lower 48 for another $10. Cash or paypal accepted.

The camo is H.S. Strut No Mar Gun/Bow Tape and should be easy to remove if you wanted to.

I've had several people ask me if this is an HD camera, and I apologize for not making it more clear in the description, but this is a SD - Standard Definition camcorder. It is NOT HD.

Here's a pic showing the hour meter...


Here's a link to the manual online that you can look through and maybe find out if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks and sorry again for the confusion.

I was using the camera today and the "good" battery only lasted about 30 minutes running time. Therefore I'm reducing the price by $50 so that the new owner can buy a couple new batteries.

You can get 5 hour batteries for around $20 on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Hrs-Battery-BN-V4...1-/270826571748

New price: $450

Just listed the camera on ebay with a starting bid of $350.
