20 year old camera with a built in printer.

Your editing has really improved! Love this segment on the printing camera -- never seen one in real life, but I used to have a Hi8 camera similar to it.

I'm not exactly sure. But I'd say we're probably a few weeks away from it being done. Both the Plus/4 and 128 are sorely lacking good titles. So I think it will be great to have both!
The comment about "PETSCII Robots for Commodore 128" caught my interest, as there are so few titles for this machine. Can you reveal more on when this potential would be available? :-)

Man, that camera is awesome, I would have been very happy with that 20 years ago... I also probably wouldn't have been able to afford one =)

I remember those first digital video cameras. Watching video on a PC was not very common at that time, or sometimes even impossible (we made once a video with a borrowed video camera, the only editing possibility was a WinXP PC with Movie Maker, and the output we could not play back on the University PCs, as they were still running Win98...). There was a huge price difference between camcorders that were able to record directly from FireWire and those that couldn't. I guess nowadays nobody cares anymore to record back to tape, even burning a DVD is not common anymore (my father once wanted that, and figured out there was almost no software available anymore that could do that). I guess this type of camcorder would have been way beyond a common budget.
Great video! All ready love the podcast

Heh, David be like: "today I wanna show you this little camcorder from 2001, and then casually introduce you two new ports of Petscii Robots"

Great video, what a feature packed bit of kit! I assume the "SD Card" was actually a Memory Stick. I had a Sony MiniDV camera in 1999 what allowed you to take stills and that saved to a Memory Stick. For reference that device still works perfectly too, they built these thing to last BITD :)

That was a cool video! I had no idea there were printers like that in video cameras :D

Great video. It's always fun to see the older tech products like this, where the manufacturer went out of their way to include not just a ton of extraneous features, but a ton of extraneous, super-useful features. (I feel like most vintage tech youtubers would love to have one of these for the ease of screen capture alone.)
