altichick 1 #1 September 29, 2004 Can anyone tell me or direct me to a good website(s) that explain what order the Sony PC camcorder models came out in and roughly when? I'm shopping for a camera and getting very confused as to which are the newer/older models! I'm probably going to buy used, are there any Sony PC models that I can automatically exclude as being less suitable for jumping with? I have just acquired a bonehead helmet with a clam-shell style box that held a PC1 size camera (I think) can anyone tell me what the dimensions of this older style camera are - I don't know if I'll need to get a new box to fit certain PC cameras, that could also influence what camera I buy. Dazed and confused with all these options! PS. Will be a just-for-fun camera set up initially though eventually maybe used for 4-way or tandems. Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubbayab 0 #2 September 29, 2004 Others may know better but I believe the first was PC1, then 3, then5, then7, then9 (which is what I have) then PC 101, then 120. I think the 5 and the 9 are common types you may find. I think the 101 and the 120 are much smaller than the rest, they require a smaller box. I got most of my gear from Peir ltd. they were helpfull.

diablopilot 2 #3 September 29, 2004 The 101 is one of the smaller types like the 5, 9, and 105. The 109 is a derivitive of that which is a bit smaller yet again. The 1, 7 are real old school now and big. The 100, 110, 120, 125, 330, are all the more modern larger size.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

skysurfcam 0 #4 September 30, 2004 Actually, it starts more like this... 7,10,100,1,3,9,5,110... Sony, crap at numbers, damn fine at cameras.

PhreeZone 20 #6 September 30, 2004 The 5 is older then the 9. I think its more: 7,1,10,3,100,5,9,110,120,101,125,105,109,330 But thats just based on the appearence order of the cameras at my DZ.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
