Up for sale is my DCM-M1 MiniDisc camcorder. I've been getting a piece here and there for a couple of years and have now decided I just dont' use it enough to justify keeping. Hopefully another collector can put it to good use!
The camcorder is in excellent shape, in fact the whole package is close to new. The only thing that I can find fault with is one of the extra lenses have a few scratches. It does not really affect the picture quality when in use so I've kept using it. I fired everything up today just to check operation and it ran fine. Gave me more than a twinge of buyers remorse too.
This camcorder can take still pictures, video & audio, or just audio. In fact it will even play standard MiniDiscs. Not Hi-MD, which would be even more cool, but the MD Data 2 discs are 650 gb in capacity already. It will record video in two modes: SP & LP (sound familiar?). The bitrate is 8 mbps/4 mbps respectively, for a recording time of 10/20 min. It has very impressive image stablization too. It makes filming while running in place look like you are barely nodding your head. I have the remote and it's a must have. Great for operating it from a tripod but even better for watching playback when it's hooked up to a monitor! About the only thing I don't have is the ethernet cable but that is still available from Sony for about $100. I'm throwing in some cables that the previous owner included even though they don't really go with the camcorder, maybe they will be of some use. One is some kind of power cable and the other is an ATI cable with analog and digital outputs. I am including 3 batteries and a small charger. The batteries still hold a charge, 2 were new, old stock from Radio Shack bought last year. Here's is a quick run-down of what's included:
camcorder
3 batteries & charger
2 extra lenses, one wide and one zoom with storage bags
Remote
Carrying case
9 MD Data2 discs, 8 new in the wrapper, 1 in the camera. These were over $20 new - I don't know if you can even find them anymore or how much they would sell for now...

Make me an offer before I post it on Ebay, I'd like to give someone here first chance at it!

As with all used electronics this is sold as-is and guaranteed not to be dead on arrival. I'm a serious collector, know how to package things and have !00% feedback on Ebay for 11 years. You can buy with confidence.

Wow, I've never seen one of these! I can't imagine how much it is worth at this point.

Thanks AZ, I really hate to part with it but I hate the idea of it sitting idly in the closet even more. I finally got around to uploading one of the Peter Murphy discs you sent me. I saved them in AAL format and also made mp3's from them for computer listening (M-Crew). I really like the song Crystal Wrist and probably never would have heard it if it wasn't for you. Thank you sir! I made a mix of some of my favs from your disc and along with some ABC and Howard Jones. Let me know if you still feel like trading, been the most fun I had with this hobby
