Retro looking camcorder

Saw this in Sams yesterday. I thought this was a really cool idea. Having a new grandbaby I almost bought one. I saw a lot of these back in the day.

You do know that phones actually take pretty good movies too don't you.

Yeah...I heard something like that

I just thought it was cool for the retro aspect of it. I still prefer taking video with my camcorder because I then have the video on a physical memory card which I can back up and put in my safe.

No image stabilization. Fatal mistake.

No image stabilization

I've still got my old Sony Mavica....the camera that put the files on 3.5 mini disk. That sucker had the best image stabilization on the market and probably still does. It had a fluid filled prism system. I could, while holding it in my hands, take a pic of a mountain stream and leave the shutter open for 2 seconds with no blur. Absolutely amazing camera.
