^Bnstne15 ^ are you an idiot? What do you think came before digital cameras, stone etching? This is 100% a camcorder. Takes VHS-C Tapes (must A VHS adapter to play in VCR's). I will be bidding and hopefully winning. I have many old VHS-C cassettes that need to be saved to DVD... NICE AUCTION! F&W
It's too bad folks don't read the descriptions too closely. You can get the charger from eBay for $15. Spare batteries, are a must with mechanical reccording devices, since they like to eat batteries up. I always recommend a spare battery, always charged and ready.
