riggerrob 643 #1 May 15, 2003 Does anyone know where I can buy a decent SONY PC-9? The problem is that I am a poor professional skydiver with only CAN $800. The only new mini DV cameras I can find in that price range are JVC. One of our photographers swears by his JVC GR DVM 55, while all the rest of them use SONYs. Mini DV format is important as I plan on strapping it to my hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miller 0 #3 May 15, 2003 Are you only intersted in a sidemount? If not, check out the recent thread about the Sony TRV-19. Quade gives quite the good argument for price verses value. At $568 (US) I'm contemplating buying one and sticking it in the closet until my good old TRV-8 and PC-1 meet their eminent doom. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #4 May 15, 2003 Rob, If you are wanting to use the camera handheld...to do tandems is my guess....take the above advice and take a look at a TRV-19. I just took a look at one again over lunch and at $999 CDN it would only require a bit of bending of your budget.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
