HITACHI VK-C1000
- 1981. First consumer video camera
with solid state (MOS - metal oxide semiconductor) image pickup device rather
than an image pickup tube. The viewfinder was a small color CRT rather
than an LCD. The recording device was basically a table-top VTR with a
shoulder strap attached. The battery was very large and was usable for
about 45 minutes of recording. A separate power supply was required to
operate the VTR when not on battery power.
