Handycam MiniDV
Get the look: 1990s & 2000s
Ideal for recreating the feeling of the 1990s through 2000s consumer video, the Sony Handycam MiniDV Camcorder is the smallest handheld camera in the Retrocams fleet. The VX2000 was a popular choice for skate videos in the early 2000's. The auto focus, auto exposure and servo zoom are the perfect combination for recreating the feeling of a home movie aesthetic. All setting can be manually controlled as well. The additional monitor / recorder is powered via the small onboard camera battery to maintain that agile feeling of authentic Handycam footage.
No longer limited to recording to its original MiniDV tape, this camera has been digitally converted to record to either Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD.
