Video camera in for repair.
« on: 25 August 2009, 20:42:41 »

2003 Sony model with true 16x9 mode so no I wasn't going to replace it as I can't afford HDV at the moment.

Turned it on, smears all over the picture.

Yes the bad CCD chip.

Sony should be repairing it FOC, and it was posted off yesterday.

Anyway I won't be putting anything on youtube this year from Newent :(

This CCD chip you talk of, is this the same for JVC models.  The one I have when you switch it on it's just loads of vertical coloured lines.  Wandered if it's worth getting repaired considering it's 7 years old.

You had a very good result, especially as you were on the cusp of reasonable life expectation.

I fancy a HD vidcamera, dont want to spend fortune, just want something  to take out and about in the car.  Must have a good zoom on it.

Any recomendations.

TIA.

No - the market is changing to much and the HDV cameras are disappearing too quickly for my liking
