Yes, and better...! ;-)
If you get a chance sometime, check out a Sony
TR-700 (older camcorder, no fold-out screen,
terrible color viewfinder, few features, but
a really excellent picture that looks better
than most one-chip DV camcorders, and it even
approaches several current 3-chipper mini-DV's
in picture and sound quality). (This Hi-8
camcorder was a recent surprise find...;-)
For the rest of the story, though, see Philip
Williams' post above...
