I have a Sony HDR-HC1 DV Camcorder with 10XOptical/ 120XDigitalZoomCarlZeiss®Vario-Sonnar®T*Lens, UV filter, Lens shade, captured lens cap, Beachtek DXA-4 dual XLR microphone/line input interface for audio input, Sony NP-FM70 17.0Wh Battery, Sony NP-FM50 8.5Wh battery, charger, multiple cables (firewire, rca, audio, etc.), a cheap lapel microphone and a nice faux leather Solidex Performance Video bag to contain it all.
Full camera specs are here: https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/HDRHC1_mksp.pdf
The camera has been tested with a DV tape and it records, plays, rewinds fine. Both batteries charge fine, but I don't have direct experience with how long each lasts, but cheap Wasabi replacements are available online if these prove less than stellar.
The audio interface works, but you may need to spray the pots with some electronics cleaner. I didn't hear noise, but they tend to get crackly after they age a bit. One of the volume knobs has a missing insert that shows the volume index marker, but that does not affect the operation of the unit.
The lens is clear and clean; and it's a Zeiss Sonar with stabilization. Nuf' said...
Full specifications and a manual on the camcorder can be found here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/camcorders-tape-camcorders/hdr-hc1
If you have DV tapes with precious memories that need to be transferred or just want to try your hand at tape-based Digital Video production, this is your chance. These cameras are getting harder to find in this condition and I have no further need for this unit.
I would like $100 for the system and I will box and ship it FREE to anywhere in the CONUS.
