These cameras (I have two of them) are really only
suited to something like low-budget community television
productions, or old television equipment demonstrations. They
are old, not as good in image quality as most current video cameras, but
are available cheaply, have proper lenses and view finders, and can be
connected to proper vision mixers. They're mostly of historical
value, and there's pictures of these LDH1 cameras
opened up, and with their accessories in my photography section.
