Here we have a Panasonic NV-DS27 Mini DV Firewire (DV) Retro Film Making Camcorder which is perfect for playing back your collection of old tapes and/or editing them on a computer with firewire input. However, this is also great for making retro vintage look movies of your own with its, low light mode for ghost hunters, slow zoom and lots of manual controls and perfect handling. A superb package in its original box.

This camcorder is in excellent cosmetic condition, there are no significant marks on the body and none on the display, lens, viewfinder etc. Also, it is in excellent mechanical, electrical and electronic condition. All of the controls and switches operate correctly and there is no damage to any of the parts.

We have recorded a test film in which we have checked the zoom moves smoothly at all speeds, the autofocus works and locks quickly as it should and that different lighting situations are responded to correctly. We have checked the film on playback to make sure there are no artifacts and that the heads are clean. This is a fully working camcorder.

This package includes:

  • The camcorder in its original box with the full printed manuala and a new sealed Panasonov tape.
  • The original battery which holds some charge (although I cannot be sure how much).
  • The original charger and mains adapter for long run times.
  • An Analogue A/V lead to playback through the component RCA input on your TV.
  • A tested and working original remote control with a fresh battery.
We strongly recommend that you find a manual for this camcorder. They can be easily found for almost all models with an internet search. Make sure that the model suits your needs. Is it for the correct media type? Is it the correct TV standard (PAL - Europe etc./NSTC - USA etc.). If you intend to do editing on your computer, please read up about this - it is not easy and may need extra leads, equipment or software.
